The Welfare State

<p>During the last 20 years, privatization<br />became an issue in health care. The neoliberal<br />market idea promised to increase<br />efficiency and responsiveness, while at the<br />same time relieving public budgets. European<br />countries have introduced all kind of market<br />instruments, reaching from internal markets,<br />over DRGs, to increased co-payments.<br />However, the welfare state literature<br />currently lacks a detailed explanation of<br />these different reforms.<br />All health care systems in the European<br />Union are affected by the same problem<br />pattern: demographic change, raising<br />demand, medical-technical innovations and<br />labour intensive services. Nonetheless, the<br />degree and form of privatization varies a lot.<br />This paper studies the power of ideas within<br />the framework of structural reform pressure<br />and institutional path-dependency. The<br />causes for privatization reforms are studied<br />in two countries representing the two ideal<br />types: the Netherlands for Social Health<br />Insurance and Sweden for the National<br />Health Service.</p>

The One

Chronic diseases pose significant challenges to health insurance systems. On the one hand, the supply of medical care to patients suffering from chronic diseases is very costly; on the other hand, more and more people are becoming chronically ill, and many of them suffer from diabetes. Against this background, steering mechanisms that address chronic disease management are needed, not only to cope with cost containment, but also to improve quality and to overcome obstructive interfaces of supply structures. This article analyses how these challenges are being dealt with and how the respective chronic diseases – the focus will be on diabetes – are managed in the Netherlands and in Germany. The approaches taken in each of these countries present examples of how structures for political and legal steering have been established within health care systems that are subject to frequent reform. Each approach is assessed by analysing the priority given to either regulatory or competitive elements, and particular reference will be made to (subordinated) implementation structures, contracts or models.

Clinical Overview

Frailty as a concept has been around in medical practice for many years but has only relatively recently been established as a medical syndrome. Although frailty is not synonymous with chronological age, it is recognized to be more common as people get older. Frailty is independently associated with increasing dependency, hospital admissions and morbidity and mortality. As populations age, frailty will become more of a challenge to health care systems. It is important that health care professionals, especially geriatricians, are aware of this emerging syndrome and its potential adverse outcomes, as well as measures to reverse and slow its progress. The aim of this review is to discuss the definition, identification and potential treatment options for frailty, most relevant to the practising clinician.
