Richard Saltman

Dr Saltman's research focuses on the structure and behavior of European health care systems. He has written extensively about numerous production side-topics including reforms in primary health care and in hospital organizations—particularly in tax-funded health systems in Northern Europe. He has also edited volumes on decentralization and on social health insurance systems in Europe. Current projects include the relationship between stability and stasis in hospital organization, the impact of slower economic growth for national health policymaking, the changing role of solidarity, and the expanding role of patient responsibility as part of co-production of health services.
