HiT profiles seek to provide relevant information to support policy-makers and analysts in the development of health systems in Europe. They are building blocks that can be used:
- to learn in detail about different approaches to the organization, financing
- and delivery of health services and the role of the main actors in health
- systems;
- to describe the institutional framework, the process, content and
- implementation of health care reform programmes;
- to highlight challenges and areas that require more in-depth analysis; and
- to provide a tool for the dissemination of information on health systems and
- the exchange of experiences of reform strategies between policy-makers and
- analysts in different countries.
