How Ireland is Fixing Its Healthcare System – And What the U.S. Can Learn


Listen Later

This time on Code WACK!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, we're featuring Ireland's healthcare reform agenda known as Sláintecare. What healthcare challenges have plagued the country – and how will Sláintecare help? To find out, we interviewed Dr. Sara Burke, associate professor and director of the Centre for Health Policy and Management in Trinity College Dublin's School of Medicine. She is the Principal Investigator of a research project entitled 'Health system foundations for Sláintecare implementation in 2020 and beyond …' and Co-Director of SPHeRE, Ireland's national research training program for population health, policy and health services research. Her research interests include health policy, inequities in health, healthcare access and the politics of health reform. This is the first of two episodes with Dr. Burke.
