IMPACT OF THE FINANCING STRUCTURE ON EFFICIENCY OF HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS IN THE FORMER EASTERN BLOC COUNTRIES
Abstract
Out-of-pocket expenditures are a significant barrier in accessing health services. This paper aims to analyse the structure of financing system in the context of the performance indicators of healthcare systems. The study was conducted for the 28 countries of the former Eastern bloc in the years 2000 and 2013, based on data from the World Health Organization. In the DEA-CCR input-oriented model, inputs are the percentage share of private spending in the total expenditure on healthcare and the percentage share of out-of-pocket patient spending in total private spending. The outputs are life expectancy and mortality rate. A ranking of the countries was created and the differences between the two study periods, as well the desired directions of changes in the financing structure were pointed out.
