The report is the result of  a study commissioned by the Steering Committee on Future Health  Scenarios and carried out by a research team of the TNO Institute of  Preventive Health Care and the STG Scenario Committee on the Future of  Public Health. The report focuses on activities in collective  prevention of diseases, generally known as primary prevention. \u003cbr\u003e  The future images developed make use of two examples, the control of  infectious diseases and public health for the elderly. In designing  those scenarios, two sets of possible trends were combined:  centralisation versus decentralisation and nationalisation versus  privatisation. \u003cbr\u003e  These combinations resulted in three scenarios; a local government  scenario, a central government scenario, and a private enterprise  scenario. The consequences of these future alternatives were developed  in terms of their effect on organisation, policy control, financing,  information supply, expertise and effectiveness. \u003cbr\u003e  Although the report primarily focuses on the public health system in  the Netherlands, the analysis of the processes examined, and the  alternative scenarios based on them are also thought-provoking for  readers throughout the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792318149\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 54.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541686022284,"sku":"9780792318149","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792318149.jpg?v=1759291159","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792318149","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
