Koordynacja podaży usług szpitalnych – doświadczenia międzynarodowe a sytuacja w Polsce
-

Summary/Abstract: The article provides a comparison of methods of hospital services’ supply coordination in three European countries: the United Kingdom (on England example), Germany and France. The coordination methods are defined as both the processes of planning the current hospital services supply levels (e.g. number of hospitals’ beds by speciality) and regulations regarding the investment projects within this sector. The results of the international comparison are then used in the context of analysis of the current situation in Polish hospital sector. Major (past and present) initiatives aimed at introduction of some form of hospital services supply coordination in Polish system are described. Shifting the emphasis from ‘competition’ to ‘coordination’ is presented as a basic recommendation for reforms.
