Management of the healthcare system in Germany and France
Journal Title: Medical Science Pulse - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 4
Abstract
Reflections on the issue of human life, its quality and duration, have contributed to health being increasingly considered a common good – a public good. Changes in perspectives relating to human life and health led to protection of life being recognized as the highest good and the greatest gift offered to a man. Society entrusted this task to a public authority. The public authority, recognizing that protection of the health of the citizens is one of its most important tasks, initiates and creates a system where the tasks related to health protection are implemented in an efficient and organized manner. The basic criterion for a patient’s selection of a medical facility is quality and effectiveness of provided services, assuming their availability. The adopted procedures for managing and financing the health system in a given country significantly influence the quality and effectiveness of provided medical services. This article will present the functional principles of healthcare systems in Germany and in France, the organization of these systems and their main elements and interrelationships. The aim of the article is to compare the management and financing systems for healthcare in both countries. The healthcare systems in both Germany and France are derived from the insurance model. However, these two countries have different approaches to management and financing, and accordingly, they understand the role and the responsibility of the state in this process differently. In order to achieve the article’s goal, documents including the leading positions in Polish and foreign literature relating to the merits of the issues, together with the available literature published by institutions, have been examined and reviewed.<br/><br/>
