1196-1198 Tags: Core reading Public note: In the previous video you have heard about the evolving

conceptualisations of health systems and how they were largely influenced by the social, political and economic

time they were conceived in. Moving forward the world is witnessing changing health needs, growing public
expectations, and ambitious new health goals which are raising the bar for health systems to

produce better health outcomes and greater social value. As such, there’s an argument that what is needed

are high-quality health systems that optimise health care in each given context by consistently delivering

care that improves or maintains health, by being valued and trusted by all people, and by responding to

changing population needs. This work by the Lancet Global commission on high quality health systems in the SDG

era examined the literature, analysed surveys, and did qualitative and quantitative research to evaluate the

quality of care available to people in Low-Middle Income Countries across a range of health needs included in

the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They explored the ethical dimensions of high-quality care

in resource-constrained settings and reviewed available measures and improvement approaches. For this

course you’re not required to read the full paper (please feel free to do so though if you find it interesting), but you

should read the executive summary. This reading is intended for you to appreciate the future evolution of health

systems conceptualisation and evolution and to keep you abreast with the trajectory of thinking within this area of

work.

Health governance: principal–agent linkages and health system strengthening

Author: Derick W Brinkerhoff 1 * and Thomas J Bossert 2 Type: Article Pages: 686-689 DOI:

10.1093/heapol/czs132 Tags: Core reading Public note: Please read p.686 -689 (the Introduction, and the first

two sections: “Health governance: a model” and “Health governance: challenges for reform”). In the introduction,

the authors discuss key issues in health systems governance that have not been sufficiently addressed by some

of the traditional health and health governance frameworks, and therefore propose the health governance

framework that has been mentioned in the previous video. The authors use the ‘principal-agent theory’ approach

for the analysis of health systems governance at different levels, describe the proposed framework and explain

relationships between three groups of actors that play a role in governance in detail. The section on

‘challenges for reform’ discusses challenges relating to capacity, formal versus informal governance and

socio-political issues.

The Global Health System: Actors, Norms, and Expectations in Transition

Author: Nicole A. Szlezák , Barry R. Bloom, Dean T. Jamison, Gerald T. Keusch, Catherine M. Michaud, Suerie
Moon, William C. Clark Type: Article Pages: 1-3 Tags: Core reading Public note: Please read the first section

(‘The Global Health System: A Time of Transition’, p.1, 2 and beginning of p.3). This article highlights the

changing nature of global health institutions. The first section briefly explains not only how the types and numbers

of actors in the global health system have changed over time, but also how the relationships among old and new

actors have changed, and the formal and informal rules that guide their interactions. Figure 1 and 2 give examples

of the more traditional versus newer types of international health governance. The authors also discuss key

challenges and list a number of key issues and questions that need to be addressed to meet the needs of

an increasingly complex global health system. Please feel free to also read the second section of the article,

which refers to further papers in the series, but it is not a requirement for this course.

The World health report 2000 - Health systems: improving performance

Author: WHO Type: Document Publication Date: 2000 Pages: xi-xix Tags: Core reading Public note: The

World Health Reports (WHR) are a series of reports that have been published regularly by the WHO since 1995.

Each report focuses on a specific theme and used to include statistical annex tables with health-related indicators

for all WHO member states (from 1995-2006, now statistics are published separately in the annual World Health

Statistics Report). The WHR 2000 introduced a conceptual framework and examined and compared aspects of

health systems around the world. It provided insights into the complex factors that explain how health systems

perform and offered practical advice on how to assess performance and achieve improvements with the resources

available. In 2000, the WHR annex tables included a health system performance ranking among member states,

which the WHO planned to publish also in subsequent reports. This has not happened though due to the great

controversies that the WHO 2000 ranking caused internationally. Up to date, there has been no consensus on

how an objective ranking of health systems should look like (which framework to use, how much weight to give for

different areas, which indicators to choose, which datasets to use, how to insure validity and comparability of

given data, etc). The full report is a 1.73 Mb pdf file, containing 215 pages, but students are required to read the

“Overview” (page xi-xix) only, which can be downloaded separately as part of the Director General’s Message

document (623 kb pdf file):[Link] Students who wish

to further expand their knowledge may read the whole report, but it is not required.

Author: Laura M. Gottlieb, MD, MPH, Jonathan E. Fielding, MD, MPH, MA, MBA, and Paula A. Braveman, MD,

MPH Type: Article Publication Date: 2012 Tags: Core reading Public note: Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is

only one component of a broader strategy aimed towards achieving better health outcomes and reducing health

disparities. Emerging during the course of the last decade, this broader strategy has been referred to as Health in

All Policies, or Healthy Public Policy. With this article, the authors seek to raise awareness of both HIA and

Healthy Public Policy, and to place HIA within the context of this more comprehensive strategy for cross-sectoral

action, which is crucial to achieving the ultimate goals of both.

Evidence Synthesis for Health Policy and Systems: A methods guide

Author: EDITED BY: ÉTIENNE V. LANGLOIS I KAREN DANIELS I ELIE A. AKL Type: Article Pages: 154-161

Tags: Core reading Public note: Please read the section on the case of Syrian refugees in Lebanon(pp.
154-161)in: Langlois EV, Daniels K, Akl E. Evidence Synthesis for Health Policy and Systems: a Methods

Guide. This example of policy responsive research, in the form of systematic review, demonstrates how

knowledge production and translation tools, such as priority-setting, systematic reviews, development of a briefing

note (knowledge translation), and convening of a national policy dialogue (knowledge uptake)can be used To

help inform policyand subsequently action, in this case the provision of health services for refugees in Lebanon.

This example was mentioned briefly in the video. Here you get a chance to explore further howhealth policy

and systems research, in the form of high-quality systematic reviews, was able to respond to health policy and

systems priority issues at the national and regional levels

Using rapid reviews to strengthen health policy and systems and progress towards

universal health coverage Commentary

BMJ Global health

Author: Langlois EV, et al. Type: Article Pages: 1178- DOI: 10.1136/bmjgh-2018-001178 Tags: Core reading

Public note: Please read the commentary by Langlois et al on using rapid reviews to strengthen health policy and

systems research and progress towards universal health coverage . Progressing towards UHC requires

evidence to address a range of questions including the effectiveness of health systems interventions

and policies, how and in what settings these interventions work, their cost-effectiveness, as well as the

legal, ethical and societal implications of implementing these interventions. This piece expands on how a

particular type of research, rapid systematic reviews, is apowerful and scientifically sound approach to

collate and analyse health systems evidencewhile balancing the urgency for the need for evidence rather

quickly. It is not without concerns though, maintaining methodological rigour while simplifying or omitting

components of the traditional review process still presents a challenge.

10.1093/heapol/czu060 Tags: Core reading Public note: You have previously heard and read about health
policy and systems research whereby it’s been defined, explored in terms of its opportunities and challenges,

as well as how different countries around the world adopt and implement it. This week you will probe

deeper into your role in this process and how, and what, you can do to meaningfully contribute to it. First, a good

place to start is to broadly explore what the process or phases of policy formulation and adoption entails so you

can be able to identify where and how your contribution as a health policy and systems researcher can be

appropriate. This is what the highlighted section in this reading describes based on a narrative synthesis of

28 articles on health policy in low-and middle-income countries which provides insight on what kinds of

activities take place in these phases, the actors crafting policies and the institutions in which policy making

occurs. You can draw on these categories to deepen your understanding of how policy formulation and adoption

unfolds.
