This book presents a novel view of healthcare system transition in
post-communist countries. It is the first region-wide comparative
study of hospital governance in Eastern Europe. Comprehensive new
material shows the evolution and significance of governance,
complementing recent publications on the topic from industrialised
countries. Throughout the book, governance is described and
substantiated as a major component that, together with provider
payment mechanisms, defines the hospital sector's operations. This
view subscribes to the economists' growing appreciation of
extra-financial aspects in the discussion of incentives and
regulation of healthcare markets. In particular, the book explains
how governance arrangements may affect the outcomes of healthcare
financing reforms, and should thus be seen as a critical
determinant of their success or failure. This new model of thinking
about healthcare system transition emerges from an analysis of 22
countries over the course of two decades. While the primary focus
of the study is on developing the hospital sector, an extensive
background chapter provides a standalone introduction to the
dynamically changing landscape of healthcare in Eastern Europe and
an overview of the various problems and challenges the region is
facing. Practitioners, policy-makers, academics and students
interested in Eastern European healthcare systems, their origins,
current status and ways forward, will appreciate the book's
reflections on the problem complexity, the clarity of its concepts,
and its accessible style of presentation.
