Health reform meeting the challenge of ageing and multiple morbidities

When the OECD was founded in 1961, health systems were gearing themselves up to deliver acute care interventions. Sick people were to be cured in hospitals, then sent on their way again. Medical training was focused on hospitals; innovation was to develop new interventions; payment systems were centred around single episodes of care. Health systems have delivered big improvements in health since then, but they can be slow to adapt to new challenges. In particular, these days, the overwhelming burden of disease is chronic, for which 'cure' is out of our reach. Health policies have changed.

  • "Increasingly, developed countries are finding that their biggest challenge is dealing with people who do not just have one chronic disease; they have several. They have "multiple morbidities", and health systems must change to address the health needs of such people. This volume contains six background chapters that were prepared for the OECD and the Business Industry Advisory Committee conference on these issues."@en
