Evaluating the Effectiveness of Health Care Systems: Foreign Experience

Abstract

Purpose of the work to analyze the features of the formation and functioning of the healthcare model and to summarize the experience of applying various methods of managing healthcare systems in developed and developing countries. Research method: descriptive research methods, analogy methods, groupings, scientific factual, systematic, comparative and retrospective analysis are used as instrumental methodological methods for studying the problem, but general scientific research methods (derivation, deduction, collection and processing of statistical information). This provides a basis for comparing the development of public health management tools applied in foreign countries. Analyzing the directions of development of health care systems in developed and developing countries, we find that, depending on the existing health care system, the goals, objectives and mechanisms of development can be similar or differ greatly. The search for the best model, carried out in both developed and developing countries, makes it impossible to create a unified approach to building a health care system that will ensure the creation of the most effective health care system. The effectiveness of the functioning of health care systems and the achievement of the goals set to improve people's health are less related to the implementation of specific management activities but are related to the socio-economic conditions of management. Their implementation and the existing healthcare system. This is confirmed by the similar rates of increase in life expectancy at birth in developed countries, despite significant differences in management tools and a natural difference in management tools.
