| Annotation | Delivering more and better health services with fewer human and financial resources is key to more sustainable health systems. Health reforms in certain countries tend to focus on enforcing intrusive regulation, management and market mechanisms within health provision, whilst preserving the existing nature and type of health professionals and their way of working. However, it is increasingly acknowledged that the existing health workforce has insufficient knowledge to deal with chronic diseases, in particular. multimorbidity. Therefore, it would be better to reconfigure health professions as one way towards more sustainable health systems. The sociology of professions provides clues on how such a reconfiguration strategy could be successfully developed and implemented. (RH) |
