In this paper, we explore what the market for medical services and products could look like if the state completely withdrew from the area of medical care. In section 1, we demonstrate that medical services would be purchased mainly through direct payments and medical insurance. We analyse two models of medical insurance: guaranteed renewable insurance and health-status insurance. Other types of insurance that may emerge on the market are also discussed. In section 2, we exam-ine how the privatisation of the health-care system would affect the prices of medical services. We analyse fundamental problems of the state-run health care and discuss how they contribute to small-er supply and higher prices of medical services. We then describe how the introduction of market mechanisms would allow to solve many of these problems. We argue that internalisation of the costs of medical care in a free market order would create strong economic incentives for individuals to take better care of their health, and we contrast this with the state-run health care in which these costs are externalised. In section 3, we explore how medical services could be obtained by individuals without sufficient funds. In section 4, we discuss how the quality of medical care could be ensured without the help of the state. We argue that competition between service providers would be the main guarantor of quality. We also identify mechanisms that would lead to spontaneous emergence of a system of private medical licencing.

Recently economic analysis of health care is demanded and actual due to becoming more and more urgent need for restructuring and a choice of priorities for this boundary section of medicine. In the article are considered strong and weaknesses of health system models, including in option of a so-called transitional economy on the example of federal N. N. Petrov Research Institute of Oncology. Now the N. N. Petrov Research Institute of Oncology can call establishment of national health system with state regulation of programs of general obligatory medical insurance. In this model of health care the state obliges employers and citizens to deduct part of the income on the health insurance, and producers of medical services to provide the population with medical care, including with mediation of insurance companies within obligatory medical insurance. Introduction of this model allowed to provide citizens with full medical care at the expressed reduction of expenses (to 8-12 % of gross domestic product). In the majority of medical institutions medical care is “free”, therefore, to maintain market balance at increase in demand for service, "waiting lists" are entered, patients with “priority” diseases are exposed to treatment, often there are complaints to the unfriendly attitude towards patients. The ideal health system has to provide medical services in unlimited volume without insurance premiums, deductions or individual share at a full freedom of choice of the doctor. Common problem for all systems, mentioning in no small measure functioning of oncologic establishments, is uncertainty of a state role and involvement of each of participants (the state, insurance companies, suppliers of medical services) in realization of various potential functions and problems of health care.

Legal support for the constitutional right of citizens to health care and medical care is an important condition for the realization of the principle of recognition the individual on the highest social value. The state guarantees everyone the right to protection of health, medical care and medical insurance; creates the conditions for effective and affordable medical care for all citizens. At the same time, the low level of provision of modern medical equipment, machinery and medicines makes it virtually impossible to provide timely and high-quality medical services in rural areas. The quality of primary health care in rural areas is in terrible condition and the people who live there, and this is more than 30 % of the total population of Ukraine, were very looking forward to changes in this area. After all, most of the old buildings and medical equipment are in poor condition. Medical institutions do not have a complete set of equipment, medical supplies and equipment necessary for primary care. The state of the legal regulation of providing medical care to the rural population of Ukraine objectively needs to be improved. Despite the adoption of numerous normative legal acts, the issues of providing health facilities located in rural areas with the necessary modern equipment and technology remained unresolved until recently. The goal of the article is to investigate the current problems of the legal support for providing medical care in the rural settlements. Particular attention is paid to the reform of the network of the rural health facilities and the problems of staffing. According to the results of the study it is established that from January 1, 2018, the implementation of the rural health reform began in Ukraine. This was due to the need to improve the availability of medical services for the population living in rural areas, to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the use of funds allocated for the development of health care in the village, to bring the network of healthcare institutions in rural areas and their material and technical support into line with the needs of the population. Rural medicine reform is the lengthy process that requires not only careful adherence to legislation, but also a preliminary assessment of the real state of medicine in the remotest corners of Ukraine in order to prepare a platform for change. It is determined that the implementation of medical reform in cities is perceived better, and therefore much faster is happening, what not to say about the countryside. The prompt and timely solution of the problems of reforming rural medicine is possible with the assistance of the state authorities and local self-government, domestic businesses, foreign investors and financial donors, without which it is extremely difficult to cope with decentralization.

Finland's health care system has evolved over the years, with its distinctive features being tax funding, the provision of the vast majority of medicines and medical services by public and municipal authorities. to study the experience of EU countries in the field of health care in the organization of circulation and availability of medicines. To achieve this goal used the methods of regulatory, documentary, comparative and graphical analysis. The increase in the cost of medical care leads to the fact that the state is increasingly thinking about containing costs. The level of co-financing by patients is growing, at the same time measures are being taken to limit the selling price of medicines. The existing system of reference prices promotes the entry of generics into the market and, apparently, this direction will develop. A characteristic feature of the health care and pharmaceutical supply system in the Nordic countries is coordination, which is implemented at different levels and in many forms. The organization of the circulation and accessibility of medicines for the population in Finland is based on covering the costs of medicines through the social insurance system, but with the participation of the state. The priority common aspects of the functioning of the national health care systems of the Scandinavian region remain: coordination between hospitals and definition of their areas of activity; coordination between general services and specialized assistance centers; coordination of the organization of drug circulation and medical care for certain categories of patients (privileged categories, patients with oncological diseases, etc.); coordination of pharmaceutical support and medical services for patients with chronic diseases (diabetes, etc.); coordination of long-term pharmaceutical provision and medical care for the elderly.

The article pertains the main problems faced by manufacturers and consumers of paid medical services. The increase in the volume of paid medical care prevails in the fields of dentistry, diagnostics and cosmetology. Of course, the expansion of voluntary medical insurance in almost all areas of medicine, further digitalization and gradual development of commercial outpatient care will be promising areas in the domestic health care. After all, currently every fourth outpatient medical organization is private owned. In this regard, taking into account the foreign and domestic experience of modernization of the medical services market, the paper comprehensively analyzes the trends in the development of commercial medicine within the legal, organizational and socio-economic regulation of the health care industry. Marketing tools to optimize the system of paid services are presented. The key role of mechanisms of public-private interaction in health care management is proved. Integrative approaches to the problems of introduction and development of paid medical services, considered in this study, will allow to systematize and to adjust the extra-budgetary activities of medical organizations while simultaneously increasing the availability and quality of medical care in Russia.

Purpose The medical tourism industry has become one of the most profitable industries around the world wherein most of the countries exploit every effort to attract medical tourists to take advantage of its medical care benefits. The purpose of this study is to explore the determinants of medical tourists’ perceived services and their satisfaction for medical care in hospitals. Design/methodology/approach The quantitative method was conducted to examine the three groups of foreign travellers such as medical tourists, expats and normative medial tourists’ perceived medical services quality and satisfaction. Data from a survey of 266 respondents were analyzed using the structural equation modelling technique. Findings The findings of this study provide evidence that hospital accessibility and interpersonal behaviour are the most critical constructs that influence medical tourists’ attributes. Additionally, medical costs and health-care technicality have a significant relationship with the perceived services of medical tourists. The study also demonstrated that medical tourists’ satisfaction highly attributed to their perceived services towards the quality of medical care they received and experienced in the hospitals. Practical implications The results have important implications for managerial considerations at hospitals. Hospital accessibility is a crucial dimension to be measured at hospitals when measuring service quality. Service providers need to be mindful that all aspects of medical services are essential and need to be delivered satisfactorily to ensure customer satisfaction. Patients’ perceived services and their satisfaction is a crucial bridge in determining the likelihood of future return among patients to the hospitals. Originality/value This study has managed to convincingly secure findings to provide useful information and understanding of the hospital accessibility and interpersonal manner of health-care professionals at hospitals in Malaysia. Particularly, when any hospital offers quality services, they must consider the reasonable medical expenses that can be affordable by the average people and update their medical equipment that are necessary for technical and diagnostic purposes. By ensuring these, they can attract the medical tourists.


Against the background of liberal health care reforms, the level of quality of medical care to the population of Russia continues to decline, which is associated with the number of cases of improper medical care. Conducted sociological stud-ies among employers, future and practicing doctors indicate a decrease in the pro-fessional competence of medical service providers. The "COVID-19" pandemic has shown the destructive effect of the results of the reforms on the domestic health care system, and first of all, on the higher medical school, where clinical thinking is «washed out» from the system of training future doctors.

Статья посвящена анализу качества медицинской помощи, оказываемой населению в рамках системы обязательного медицинского страхования (ОМС), на основе мероприятий страхового надзора над медицинскими организациями. Полис ОМС гарантирует пациентам доступность, качество и своевременность предоставления медицинских услуг. Проверка качества медицинской помощи производится путем осуществления экспертиз и контроля уполномоченными органами РФ по направлениям: законности работы медицинской организации, системности оказания медицинской помощи, результативности и своевременности проводимых мероприятий в рамках оказания медицинской помощи. Таким образом, страховой надзор за медицинскими организациями осуществляется путем соблюдения объема, сроков и условий оказания медицинской помощи, контроля качества медицинской помощи фондами обязательного медицинского страхования и страховыми медицинскими организациями в соответствии с законодательством Российской Федерации. Страховой надзор над медучреждениями осуществляется в рамках ОМС и включает следующие виды страхового надзора: медико-экономический контроль, медико-экономическая экспертиза и экспертиза качества медицинской помощи. Отличительной особенностью современного состояния системы страхового надзора за качеством оказываемой медицинской помощи в системе ОМС является его совершенствование на основе анализа удовлетворенности потребителей медицинских услуг, что позволяет выявить нарушения, которые допущены при оказании медицинской помощи. Причем эти мероприятия способствуют как повышению качества обслуживания застрахованных лиц, так и улучшению репутации медицинских организаций, что серьезно влияет на решения участников программы обязательного медицинского страхования. Повышение ответственности страховых компаний становится важным элементом модернизации системы ОМС. В этой связи актуальным является обеспечение эффективной работы страховых медицинских компаний и медицинских учреждений на принципах конкурентоспособности и повышения качества медицинской помощи, реализуемое с помощью механизмов ориентации на требования потребителей медицинских услуг The article is devoted to the analysis of the quality of medical care provided to the population within the framework of the system Compulsory health insurance (CHI), based on the measures of insurance supervisory over medical organizations. The CHI guarantees patients the availability, quality and timeliness of medical services. Quality control of medical care is performed by carrying out examinations and control by the authorized bodies of the Russian Federation in the following areas: the legality of the work of a medical organization, the consistency of medical care, the effectiveness and timeliness of measures taken within the framework of medical care. Thus, insurance supervisory of medical organizations is carried out by observing the scope, terms and conditions of medical care, and monitoring the quality of medical care by mandatory medical insurance funds and insurance medical organizations in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. Insurance supervisory of medical institutions is carried out within the framework of the CHI and includes the following types of insurance supervisory: medical and economic control, medical and economic expertise and examination of the quality of medical care. A distinctive feature of the current state of the system of insurance supervisory over the quality of medical care in the CHI system is its improvement based on the analysis of satisfaction of consumers of medical services, which allows you to identify violations that have been committed in the provision of medical care. Moreover, these measures contribute both to improving the quality of care for insured persons and to improving the reputation of medical organizations, which seriously affects the decisions of participants in the compulsory medical insurance program. Increasing the liability of insurance companies is becoming an important element of the modernization of the CHI system. In this regard, it is important to ensure the effective operation of medical insurance companies and medical institutions based on the principles of competitiveness and improving the quality of medical care, implemented through mechanisms of orientation to the requirements of consumers of medical services

The problem of the introduction of unused land into agricultural turnover is currently relevant in society, since at the present stage the state is implementing a campaign to develop the uninhabited territories of the Far East of the country. During this period, a large number of studies on virgin lands were published, but today many questions remain open. In particular, the problem of medical care in the virgin lands is not sufficiently studied by historians. The article defines the stages of development of medicine in the areas of development of new lands, also considers the problem of lack of medical institutions and qualified personnel. Finally, medicine was developed in the virgin lands, in particular, it was possible to move from small medical stations to the polyclinic health care system.

Abstract Background: Wide adoption of electronic medical records (EMR) systems in the United States can lead to better quality medical care at a lower cost. Despite the laws and financial subsidies by the U.S. government for service providers and suppliers, the adoption has been slow. Understanding the EMR adoption drivers for physicians and the role of policymaking can translate into increased adoption rate and enhanced information sharing between medical care providers. Methods: Physicians across the United States were surveyed to gather primary data on their psychological, social, and technical perceptions toward EMR systems. This quantitative study builds on the Theory of Planned Behavior, the Technology Acceptance Model, and the Diffusion of Innovation theory to propose, test, and validate an innovation adoption model for the health care industry. 382 responses were collected and data were analyzed via linear regression to uncover the effects of 12 variables on the intention to adopt EMR systems.Results: Regression model testing uncovers that government policymaking or mandates and other social factors have little or negligible effect on physicians’ intention to adopt an innovation. Rather, physicians are directly driven by their attitudes and ability to control, and indirectly motivated by their knowledge of the innovation, the financial ability to acquire the system, the holistic benefits to their industry, and the relative advancement of the system compared to others.Conclusions: A unidirectional mandate from the government is not sufficient for physicians to adopt an innovation. Government, health care associations, and EMR system vendors can benefit from our findings by working toward increasing the physicians’ knowledge of the proposed innovation, socializing how medical care providers and the overall industry can benefit from EMR system adoption, and solving for the financial burden of system implementation and sustainment.
