Towards the development and implementation of hospital-based health technology assessment (HB-HTA) in Poland
Many European countries have adopted hospital-based health technology assessment (HB-HTA). • Polish HB-HTA model involves regional, national institutions and clinical hospitals. • The model changed with a new role for the Ministry of Health. • Barriers to HB-HTA implementation include staff shortages and lack of commitment. • Poland's experience in implementing HBHTA can provide valuable lessons for other countries. A comprehensive project explor…
Language nonselective lexical access in bilinguals
It has been argued that lexical access in bilinguals is language nonselective. However, little is known about how the input modality (spoken or written) affects cross-language activation during listening and reading. The current study characterizes the nature of within- and cross-language competition for spoken and written words in adults who are bilingual and biliterate in Spanish and English. Using a recently developed cross-modality version of…
What is being done to respond to the rise of chronic diseases and multi-morbidity in Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia
Although countries in central and eastern Europe (CEE) have relatively younger populations compared to the West, their populations are often affected by higher prevalence of chronic conditions and multi-morbidity and this burden will likely increase as their populations age. Relatively little is known about how these countries cater to the needs of complex patients. This Perspective piece identifies key initiatives to improve coordination of care…
Perspective
Introduction: Decision-makers initially had limited data to inform their policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The research community developed several online databases to track cases, deaths, and hospitalizations; however, a major deficiency was the lack of detailed information on how health systems were responding to the pandemic and how they would need to be transformed going forward. Approach: In an effort to fill this information gap, i…
Building on value-based health care
A reform proposal from 2019 aims to improve coordination of health services in Poland by strengthening the role of the counties
A comparison of health system responses to Covid-19 in Bulgaria, Croatia and Romania in 2020
A reversal of fortune
Nordic responses to Covid-19
This paper explores and compares health system responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, in the context of existing governance features. Content compiled in the Covid-19 Health System Response Monitor combined with other publicly available country information serve as the foundation for this analysis. The analysis mainly covers early response until August 2020, but includes some key policy and epidemiolog…
Metrics and indicators used to assess health system resilience in response to shocks to health systems in high income countries—A systematic review
Implementation of Mental Health Centres Pilots in Poland since 2018
Provision of mental health care in Poland has long been characterised by an overreliance on psychiatric hospitals and the underdevelopment of community care. The introduction of the first National Mental Health Protection Programme for 2011-2015, with the explicit goal to base provision of mental care on the community mental health centres, failed to achieve any tangible results. The ensuing critique led to the launch of the second National Menta…
Assessing Recent Efforts to Improve Organization of Cancer Care in Poland
Poland has implemented two major organizational changes in recent years to improve cancer care. In 2015, a dedicated 'fast pathway' to diagnostics and treatment was implemented for patients suspected of having cancer. In 2019, the National Oncology Network began pilots in four regions of care pathways for cancer at five sites. Neither has been evaluated-no baseline information was collected, and what assessments were undertaken were limited to pr…
Health Centres 75+ as a New Model to Improve Care for Older People in Poland
According to a recent national audit, the cost of treating patients in geriatric wards is 20-30% less compared to those treated in internal medicine wards. Yet, geriatric care remains largely underdeveloped in Poland, with few human, material, and financial resources. Despite numerous attempts to raise the profile of geriatrics over the years, little progress has been achieved. In 2019, experts under the President of Poland proposed the creation …
The Devil Is in the Data
The contribution of health systems to health is commonly assessed using levels of amenable mortality. Few such studies exist for Poland, with analyses of within-the-country patterns being particularly scarce. The aim of this paper is to analyse differences in amenable mortality levels and trends across Poland's regions using the most recent data and to gain a more nuanced understanding of these differences and possible reasons behind them. This c…
Testing the 2017 PHC reform through pilots
Numerous official reports have highlighted insufficient provision of preventive services within primary health care (PHC) in Poland. Other identified weaknesses include inappropriate referrals to ambulatory care that contribute to long waiting times for specialist consultations. Since mid-2018, a new model of PHC organization has been piloted and can be seen as an attempt to address some of these weaknesses. It draws on the Primary Health Care Ac…
Improved coordination of care after acute myocardial infarction in Poland since 2017
What next after the ‘commercialization’ of public hospitals? Searching for effective solutions to achieve financial stability of the hospital sector in Poland
The problem of hospital indebtedness has fraught the Polish health care sector for many decades. While it is largely attributed to the shortcomings of the legal form of the independent public health care unit (SPZOZ), which is the main legal form in which public hospitals operate in Poland, analysis of hospital indebtedness shows that the problem had been apparent before this legal form was introduced in 1999. The problem also did not appear to d…
