TLDR
An original framework supporting health policy analysis that may be carried out by distinct research on various situations is developed, taking the Walt and Gilson model as the basic framework.Abstract:
This article develops an original framework supporting health policy analysis that may be carried out by distinct research on various situations. The Walt and Gilson model for health policy analysis and its categories: Context, Content, Actors and Process, was taken as the basic framework of analysis. However, to be applied in practice that model needs to be unravelled. Its four major categories need to be operationalised and transformed into a matrix, with each one revealling the elements or sub-categories, and the necessary procedures to conduct a systematic analysis on the Context, Content, Actors and Process of a given health policy. Such an initiative was treated in this work.read more

Implementing maternal death surveillance and response: a review of lessons from country case studies
TL;DR: Case studies from countries with established MDSR systems can provide valuable guidance on ways to set up the processes and overcome some of the barriers; but the challenge, as with many health system interventions, is to find a way to provide catalytic assistance and strengthen capacity for M DSR such that this becomes embedded in the health system.

Reforming the health sector in developing countries: the central role of policy analysis

Mixed-Scanning: A "Third" Approach to Decision-Making
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered three conceptions of decision-making with assumptions that give varying weights to the conscious choice of the decision-makers, and presented an alternative model, referred to as the art of muddling through, which assumes much less command over the environment.
