Israel’s 2010 capitation reform and the widening of regional health disparities
BACKGROUND: Israel's National Health Insurance system exhibits persistent regional disparities in health outcomes. In 2010, the government reformed its capitation formula to allocate additional funding to Health Plans (HPs) serving peripheral communities, aiming to reduce these disparities. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the effectiveness of the 2010 capitation reform in narrowing regional health gaps, as measured by self-reported health (SRH). …
From institutions to homes
Health system reforms in high-income countries continue to pursue better population health, improved care experiences, and greater efficiency. However, most systems remain organized around institutions that require individuals to adjust to fixed sites of care. Achieving the Triple Aim requires a structural reorientation: the home should become the default locus of care, with hospitals and other facilities serving as extensions when specific clini…

Aligning with Optimal Care Pathways for people with Colon Cancer

However, population-level evidence on associations between OCP alignment, survival, and healthcare costs, remains limited.

Does practice make perfect? Panel evidence from hip fracture surgery in Italy
Background A large body of evidence documented a positive association between hospital volume and patient outcomes, but the underlying causal mechanisms remain debated. While the “practice makes perfect” hypothesis suggests quality gains from centralization, the “selective referral” hypothesis raises concerns about access and equity. Objective To examine the causal effect of surgical volumes on outcomes for hip fracture patients in a non-competit…

Past literature has focused mainly on assessment criteria, offering limited evidence on HBHTA from a process-oriented perspective. Objective This study aims to examine how HBHTA is operationalised in hospitals and to identify the organisational and contextual…

Objective To identify and compare…

Objective This cross-country comparison study seeks to compare and describe the ethical knowledge, attitudes, and decision-making processes of healthcare profe…
Impact of Increased Capitation on Revenue Distribution Among General Practitioners
Background During recent years, many countries have moved from pure fee-for-service (FFS) systems toward mixed payment arrangements combining capitation and FFS components. In Norway, regular general practitioners (GPs) typically provide primary care under mixed capitation and FFS remuneration. Recently, increased proportion of capitation has been suggested. Objective This study investigates the impact of increasing the proportion of capitation o…
Vaccine hesitancy in conflict-affected Ukraine
A method for testing health system resilience
BACKGROUND: Recent adverse events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, economic crises, conflict, migration and extreme weather have demonstrated how a wide range of shocks can challenge health systems. While emergency preparedness and planning is a well established component of health system governance in many countries, no methodology has existed to systematically test the resilience of a health system to a broad range of shocks. OBJECTIVE: To share…
