Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments have long been worried about the rising cost of health care. Virtually, all have taken steps to try and keep costs under control. But it is by no means clear that the types of measures so far taken can solve the problem in the long run.Against the background of massive information about health care and public health in the European community, this book concentrates on long term alternatives. Is it possible to ration health care and if so, on what basis? Are there more fundamental ways of keeping costs from rising, which countries are beginning to develop. What might be the role of the European Union in promoting health and collective action in cost containment?
Download or read book Assuring the Quality of Health Care in the European Union written by Helena Legido-Quigley and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2008 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have always travelled within Europe for work and leisure, although never before with the current intensity. Now, however, they are travelling for many other reasons, including the quest for key services such as health care. Whatever the reason for travelling, one question they ask is "If I fall ill, will the health care I receive be of a high standard?" This book examines, for the first time, the systems that have been put in place in all of the European Union's 27 Member States. The picture it paints is mixed. Some have well developed systems, setting standards based on the best available evidence, monitoring the care provided, and taking action where it falls short. Others need to overcome significant obstacles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health care and its financing will not be harmonized within the European Union (EU).

It covers the development of health systems and policy in the community, the markets for pharmaceuticals and for medical devices, EU-trends in hospital financing, issues in the comparison of financing systems, especially in the field of private expenditures, reforms of health care financing in social security systems and national health services in the EU and cross-border health care between EU member-states. The results feature an up-to date overview on the European dimension of health care and its financing. The book is relevant to experts in health care organizations, policy, industry and research.

Download or read book Cost Containment and New Priorities in Health Care written by Brian Abel-Smith and published by . This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study describes the measures taken in the 12 countries which constitute the European Community to control the cost of publicly financed health care and establish new priorities over the period 1983 to 1988 or 1989. It updates the author's earlier study published in 1984 which described developments between 1977 and 1983. The information covers developments and plans up to September 1990. The central aim was to see which measures among the many which had been tried were retained in the long run, which had been found impractical to operate and which had been abandoned as a result of political pressures. A second aim was to see how far the publication in 1985 of targets for Health For All by the European Office of the World Health Organization and endorsed by all countries of the region had in fact begun to influence the priorities of the countries concerned.

Download or read book Private Health Insurance and the European Union written by Cyril Benoît and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-03 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has paid little attention to date on how European Union law and regulation affect both the public-private mix in healthcare and the organization of private health insurance as an industry. Filling this gap, this collective book provides insights on the political economy of EU insurance regulation, its impact on private health insurers and on its interactions with domestic healthcare policy-making in four countries. Assembling original contributions drafted by a multidisciplinary team, Private Health Insurance and the European Union offers a thorough examination of a largely unrecognized source of EU influence in healthcare – and sheds a new light on the role played by private actors in social policy.
