Medical device regulation in the European Union, Japan and the United States. Commonalities, differences and challenges
The evolution and diversity of institutions across the United States, the EU and Japan, and the timing of the medical device framework splitting off from the drug regulatory framework, are striking. Regulatory agencies face a new landscape: the combination of industry-paid user fees and appropriations, and a general pro-business climate coupled with dramatic advances in medical technology, shortage in skilled experts trained in the latest state-o…

EU Regulation of Medical Devices and Pharmaceuticals in Comparative Perspective
This paper provides a comparison of European Union regulatory policy for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. The discussion highlights key similarities and differences in regulatory approach for the two sectors.

It is argued that, despite both sectors being af…
Health Care Reform in Germany
Under the pressure of health care reform in the 1990s, interactions among the state, sickness funds, and providers in Germany are said to have entered a new era. We examine this new era by assessing both long-term developments connected to German statutory health insurance (SHI) and related short-term developments of the 1990s. Highly institutionalized rules and practices provide little opportunity for abandoning the historical path of two primar…

German Statutory Health Insurance (national health insurance) has remained relatively intact over the past century, even in the face of governmental change and recent reforms.

Several key lessons from the German experience can be applied to the American health care system

Planning and Implementation
Amidst the political sloganeering about health issues, there is a basic tension between those who plan goals for the health care system and those who try to implement them. This article examines that tension by first discussing the context of planning and its application to health affairs; then discussing the issue of implementation and its problems; and finally applying these to the particular case of health care costs. Among the topics discusse…
