摘要
Healthcare system performance improvement is on the policy agenda of governments, healthcare funders and providers across the high-income world. Given this, we sought to assess the extent to which policy makers in our respective countries were promoting policy areas known to be associated with healthcare system improvement, namely quality improvement, information technology and primary care. This article reports our findings. © 2012 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
