PUBLIC MANAGEMENT OF THE HEALTH SYSTEM IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES (COUNTRY AND REGIONAL LEVEL)

Abstract

Public administration in the field of health care is formed in each country in accordance with the traditions of state structure, economic situation [1; 2].

Countries are searching for effective policies to improve hospital management and efficient use of resources in the health sector, while relying on established management models [3;4]. The existing health care models are conditionally divided into budgetary, social insurance and private models, which are based on differences in the sources of financing of medical care, the degree of coverage of the population by state support programs, methods of its organization and forms of ownership of service providers [4;5]. These models have their own specifics, and as a consequence, today countries are focused on the choice of universal methods of managing these models. Thus, as Shibalkov I.P. notes, in developed countries (except Denmark) the state management of the health care system is aimed at optimizing the costs of medical services and medicines, regardless of the sources of financing, as well as at improving the qualifications of personnel in the industry, developing a competitive environment, improving the quality of services, and standardization [5]. Whereas in developing countries public policy is aimed at developing the resource base of the industry, improving the quality of medical services and restructuring the network of organizations.
