It then reviews the political processes that influence planning in various healthcare settings; presents the accepted methods of economic and financial analysis; and addresses the ethical and other value considerations that must factor into the health policy process. A new part covers post-implementation stages, including new chapters focused on summative evaluations and health services research. Finally, it looks at the roles, skills, and leadership that health professionals can bring to the policy making process in their local and national communities.
