Nordic Health Systems
The aim of the course is to introduce students to comparative health systems analysis (frameworks and methods) using the Nordic countries as case examples. Key topics include the interaction between values, organization and political steering of the health systems. It will be discussed how the Nordic systems address general challenges of cost control, performance management, prevention and coordination and integration of health services. The Nordic health systems will be contrasted with other types of health systems based on social or private health insurance.
