This ‘Online Journal’ disseminates short articles on new and promising approaches to health sector reform, as well as lessons learned about approaches that did not perform as expected. In keeping with the World Bank HealthFlagship Program’s diagnostic framework, the journal will feature articles that illustrate the rationale, design, implementation, and impact of interventions in five general areas:
- financing or raising revenues
- provider payment mechanisms and the incentives they create
- micro and macro organization, including decentralization and reform of health care institutions
- regulation
- promoting healthy behaviors
