Practicing Corona - Towards a research agenda of health policies

Roland Bal et al. Health Policy. 2020 Jul.

Abstract

As Corona virus is putting a huge stress on healthcare systems around the world, analysts of health policy will have to respond with starting up research on the consequences of current policies. In this paper, we propose an agenda for research of health policy from a governance perspective, focussing on the consequences of decision-making structures and practices, the mediatisation of the pandemic, the organisation of healthcare systems and the role of expertise.

Keywords: Corona virus; Covid-19; Pandemic policy; Research agenda; Research of policy.
