A structuration framework for bridging the macro–micro divide in health‐care governance

Extant studies demonstrate that macro (hierarchical) and micro (relational) governance initiatives in health‐care settings continue to be developed in isolation rather than interactively. Government‐driven hierarchical governance endeavours that guide health‐care reforms and medical practice are disconnected from micro‐level physician–patient interactions being unable to account for patient preferences in the macro‐level policymaking.
