Another way to facilitate patient choice is to promote multispecialty chronic disease management programmes with the opportunity for patients to select this programme. Thus, the information about waiting times is in highest demand (Fotaki et al. Until recently, there were no independent physician practices that competed for patients with other practices.

Only 25% of district physicians respond that they receive information about all hospital admissions of their chronic cases; 57% receive this information only rarely and 18% do not receive at all. century? In the literature on this topic, choice is usually understood in the context of economic theory and assumes that the patient has information about two or more possible providers of the needed medical care so that the patient can make an informed decision when selecting a physician.

The empirical evidence presented earlier indicates that there is a substantial need for carefully managed patient choice in Russia. Products meet high standards. The first type of process, specialization, is a mainstream aspect of the healthcare system development and thus becomes a long-term factor that creates the areas of inefficient choice. Despite the high value of the opportunity for choice, the practice of patient search and choice of a practitioner and healthcare facility has a small, but not a marginal, presence in the Russian healthcare system. 0000025371 00000 n When the capacity is limited, patients have to wait long even when they are formally allowed to access a preferable provider.

This article1 attempts to answer these questions by exploring the opportunities and limitations of expanding patient choice of health providers in the Russian Federation. Only 21% of patients who made some choice were looking for free outpatient care and 33% for free inpatient care. Advantage. a. First, the initial gains realized by improving and streamlining care will ultimately be maximized, and from that point forward the financial benefits will plateau.

They led to the loss of a structured approach to the clinical activities; the stages of care are broken down into unconnected episodes. The second section reviews the empirical evidence of the opportunities for patient choice in the Russian Federation and explores the areas of inefficient choice. Even now when the economic situation is much better, the health sector is severely underfunded. In the last years, there is a positive trend to move away from written declarations about unlimited choice to real attempts of making choice the instrument of health policy implementation. 6 For more information on the Russian health system, see the recent Russian HIT of European Observatory health systems and policiesPopovich et al. Advantages of telehealth. Capital cost can be high for specialty machinery. 0000002094 00000 n is to be Another advantage of specialization is that it saves time. The process of choice can match patients to providers that best meet their needs, as suggested by the economic theory. 2003). Dixon and Le Grand (2006) show that extending patient choice may increase inequity, decrease it or leave it unchanged, depending on various parameters of demand and supply of health care; they propose a package of supported choice whereby individuals from lower income groups would receive assistance in making choices (Dixon and Le Grand 2006). A referral system has survived but has been impaired in most of the administrative areas of the Russian Federation (89 regions). Specialists focus on their specialty's organ or organ system to the exclusion of others B. Match each event from romeo and juliet to the correct stage of the dramatic structure. Specialization leads to fragmentation of care and discontinuity, even for patients with a single disease. A patients awareness of the expected product is limited, and the search for providers requires the costs of time and sometimes money (Hsiao 1995). The weakening of the healthcare governance systems, accompanied by the expansion of patient choicetogether, these processes may lead to the breakdown in the co-ordination structures that oversee the activities of various providers such as referral systems from one stage of medical care to another and information exchange between different medical specialties. What is the purpose of the Emergency Severity Index (ESI). Empirical data on patient choice in the Russian Federation suggest that choice is popular with patients. The major provider of primary health care is a district physician (different doctors for adults and children) who works at the same polyclinic as certain specialists. The responsibility of physicians for the management of the transition of their patient to a different level of care when necessary as well as for informing the patient about opportunity of receiving this care was significantly weakened or even removed. Politics of access and choice under Beveridge and Bismarck systems, Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Zdravookhranenie v Rossii. We can identify two types of processes that affect the expansion of the inefficient patient choice in health care: The rise in the specialization of medical care: it adds to the differentiation of hospital products and increases the costs of obtaining information about these products and comparing them. The inefficiencies in service delivery, which are closely related to the inappropriate patient choice, were revealed in the survey of healthcare providers conducted by the Higher School of Economics (Moscow) and the Levada Center (Kolosnitsina et al. There is evidence that some physicians do not offer patient choice because they either think patients are not interested or do not use the information available but rather their own networks (Rosen et al. This enhances the interregional mobility of patients and widens their opportunities for choice. Countries with transitional economies, such as the Russian Federation, have also placed this task as part of the health system reform agenda. Le Grand 2003, 2007; Porter and Teisberg 2004). a. Why.

Leading editorials focusing on the concept and trends are also included. This may serve as a transitional alternativewith the return to gatekeeping function of district physicians after gaining new competence and experience. A patient can receive care at a chosen hospital based on a referral from a PHC doctor, but this doctor is obliged to offer alternative options, while the choice belongs to a patient. The functions of district physicians are much narrower compared with a GP: they deal with a very limited scope of simple conditions and are not allowed to provide specialty care even if they can. The cutbacks in the government financing of health care in the 1990s by 37% in real terms over the period of 199198 (Rozhdestvenskaya and Shishkin 2003) and the permission for medical organizations to charge for services essentially led to the removal of the requirement for a referral from the treating physician when transitioning to a higher level of care. Recommendations about such alternatives should be based on the information on the performance indicators of hospitals and hospital doctors, which should be available to every primary care physician.

Belonged to minority racial and ethnic groups 1289 0 obj<> endobj This further complicates the multilevel structure of medical care and increases the probability of situations in which individuals choose a highly specialized tertiary care facility to treat relatively simple conditions.

Another example is a patient with a relatively uncomplicated condition choosing a highly specialized tertiary care facility for treatmentsuch choice would necessitate the use of relatively costly resources. reform efforts through policies that included: First, there was a weakening in the requirements of professional qualifications of the primary care physicians and their co-ordinating role in the system of medical care.

However, there is no available data that might be used for verification of influence of patient choice on the increase of quality or efficiency of health care. Empirical evidence on the patient choice of physicians and medical organizations was collected under the research project conducted by the Higher School of Economics (Moscow) and the Levada Center at the end of 2009 (Sheiman and Shishkin 2012). When choosing a hospital, 48% of those surveyed use the recommendation of their general practitioner, and 13% used the information from the NHS brochures and the Internet (Dixon 2009). They are employees of health systems What makes the physicianpatient relationship even more complex is the presence of multiple sources of uncertainty that complicate decision making on both sides (McGuire 2000).
