The Constitution of Ukraine stipulates that an individual, his/her life, and health are the highest state social values. The authors highlighted that the health care system is the basis of social policy, national security, public health, and economic development. The current reformation of medical and legal reforms in Ukraine are fully covered by health legislation. In the context of these laws, the government promotes the development of private, communal, and state healthcare facilities. The authors noted that private medicine is snowballing in Ukraine, but the competitiveness of private health care facilities is insufficient in state medical reform. The study emphasized the absence of appropriate tools and mechanisms to motivate staff in private healthcare facilities. Based on the findings, the authors proposed introducing a set of evaluation indicators combined into a single integrated system – key performance indicators (KPIs), which would be the basis for calculating the bonus payroll. In turn, this system of material incentives should encourage medical staff to work effectively, be active, and initiative. The mechanism for developing a set of KPIs should be approved at the administration of the private health care facility. At the same time, medical workers of all levels must participate in KPIs elaborating. The indicators of medical care quality could be further used to improve healthcare, differentiated work assessment of medical staff, and healthcare facility in general, in accreditation and certification of private health care facilities. In the study, the authors formed and analyzed groups of indicators for different categories of the medical staff of private medical institutions. The obtained results showed that different bonus rates are needed to motivate employees at various levels to create an additional incentive to build a medical career. Thus, it could be argued that private healthcare facilities should develop motivation policy and strategy, revise system and forms of remuneration, improve the mechanism of motivation and incentives, focus on increasing competitiveness indicators in private medicine.

Care Facilities

The provision of health care has been recognised as a fundamental human right. Consequently, developed countries incur heavy expenditures in the provision of health care facilities to their citizens. For example, Canada’s public expenditure on health as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is 6.9 percent, Norway’s is 6.6 percent, the USA’s is 6.5 percent, and Japan’s is 5.6 percent. On the other end of the scale are the developing countries such as Niger, which spends 1.6 percent of its GDP on health, Mozambique 1 percent, Haiti 1.3 percent, and Senegal 1.2 percent. In South Asia, Pakistan spends 0.8 percent and India 0.7 percent of their GDP, respectively, on health provision.

Abstract Introduction Retreatment (previously treated) cases are the tuberculosis (TB) patients who have been treated previously with anti-TB drugs for at least a month and who have now been registered for category II anti-TB therapy. Retreatment cases arise due to inadequate and improper treatment of the new TB cases. Objective The aim of the study is to assess the information regarding sources of previous TB drug exposure and treatment practices leading to retreatment cases (category II) and determinants leading to retreatment. Material and Methods It was a community-based cross-sectional study of patients registered as retreatment TB cases under revised national TB control program (RNTCP) in the TB unit of Puducherry between October 2013 and September 2014. The study was held between October 2013 and October 2015. Initially the quantitative data were collected and followed by qualitative data. Data were collected by interviewing the patients using a predesigned questionnaire. Data were entered and analyzed by using Epi Info (Version 3.4.3) software package. Results Out of the 193 study participants, relapse cases were the most common 50.8%, followed by treatment after default cases 23.8%, failure cases 11.9%, and retreatment others 13.5%. There is a significant association between the retreatment categories such as failure, TAD (treatment after default), retreatment others, and ever usage of tobacco (p < 0.05). There is also a significant association between the retreatment categories such as TAD, retreatment others, and ever usage of alcohol (p < 0.05). The sources of previous antitubercular therapy for 90.16% retreatment cases were from government health care facilities under RNTCP, whereas for 9.84% retreatment cases the sources of previous antitubercular treatment were private health care facilities. There is a significant association between public health care facility where patients were previously treated for TB and relapse (p = 0.001) and private health care facility where patients were previously treated for TB and TAD (p = 0.008). Conclusion As 90% of the patients have utilized the government health services for treatment, it shows the effective functioning of RNTCP-STF (state task force-revised national TB control program) mechanism in Puducherry.

The private health care industry is facing uncertainty and change as a result of the market inquiry being undertaken by the Competition Commission into the private health care industry, the introduction of the National Health Insurance and the possibility of fee regulation. This study seeks to determine the extent to which activity-based costing is used within the operations of private health care facilities in South Africa. A structured online questionnaire was used to collect the primary data; it was completed by 32 private health care facilities and three hospital groups. This study found that the level of activity-based costing adoption at a health care facility level increased from 1.2% in 1994 to 31% in 2013. The increase in the level of activity-based costing adoption indicates that the private health care facilities are willing to adopt and use innovative management tools and techniques to face their current challenges.
