Health care systems are complex organisational structures governed by an ambition to provide high-quality health care services to its population. In this context, governance describes a framework through which individual stakeholders are being held accountable to improving the quality of services and safe-guarding high standards of care. The framework also ensures a consistent evaluation and regulation of care processes and is crucial for the efficient functioning of health care systems around the world. This course provides a detailed perspective on the complexities surrounding the interplay between different stakeholders in the regulation of health and health care markets and the problems facing the management of health care services. The course builds on theoretical concepts and on principles of sound economic analysis and exposes students to learning from regulatory experiences beyond the health sector, including from data sciences.
