Transformation of health systems: contribution of population health intervention research

Abstract : The growing prevalence of chronic diseases is a major challenge in the sustainability of health systems. There is a need to transform health systems by increasing prevention and by implementating innovative organisations in management of these diseases. This transformation will require development and analysis of research-based and field-based interventions and organisations. Health system transformation also requires the transfer of innovative models into public decisions and practices, and requires these actions to occur across health systems. (Intro.)
