SITUATION ANALYSIS OF MUNICIPAL MULTIPROFILE HOSPITALS FOR ACTIVE TREATMENT (MHAT). OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS AND REASONS FOR CLOSURE
Journal Title: Българско списание за обществено здраве (Bulgarian Journal of Public Health) - Year 2013, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
Impatient care establishments are commercial entities and as such can be the subject of any known type of corporate assessment. On the other hand, hospitals operate in a quasi-market. This fact makes it difficult to apply “pure” assessments. An additional complication stems from the social role that the hospitals have to play. Therefore, assessments need to be interpreted in such a way so as to provide adequate managerial information. This situation analysis aims to explore the hospitals’ capacity to operate while preserving their economic stability. It will also delineate the boundaries of their sustainability.
