FAQ
What are the different types of healthcare systems available?
The first system, which is traditional and where patients are not allowed to choose who they see for their treatment, is the most popular. They visit hospital A if they are in need of an operation. But otherwise, it is best to not bother as there is little else.
The second system, which is fee-for-service, allows doctors to earn money based upon how many operations and tests they perform. If you don’t pay them enough they won’t do additional work and you’ll be twice as expensive.
The third system pays doctors according to the amount they spend on care, not by how many procedures performed. This encourages doctors and patients to choose less costly treatment options such as talk therapies over surgery.
What's the difference between public health and health policy?
In this context, both terms refer to the decisions made by policymakers or legislators to create policies that affect how we deliver health services. One example is the decision to build an additional hospital. This decision could be made locally or regionally. The same goes for the decision whether to require employers provide health insurance. This can be done by local, national or regional officials.
What about the role of the private sector?
Private sector plays a crucial role in healthcare delivery. For example, it provides some of the equipment used in hospitals.
It also pays for some of the staff who work in hospitals. It makes sense for them also to participate in running it.
They have their limits.
Private providers cannot always compete with free services provided by governments.
And they shouldn't try to run the whole system. This could mean that the system doesn't deliver good value for money.
