Key Success factors for Financial Sustainability Ensure all health spending is as smart as possible Value based approaches to decision-making but let s not forget about the importance of markets where they can work Invest in the right infrastructure to ensure decision makers are operating in an information rich environment Common sense evaluation for all major investment or policy initiatives aimed at improving efficiency the need to get over pilotitis Rational use of technology including medicines. This involves investment in innovation, use of older products where appropriate and disinvestment of technology that are no longer required Support integrated approaches to care deliver and financial management A byproduct of health systems getting this right will be more (and better) investment in Europe by the private sector 8
