FINANCIAL MECHANISM OF STATE REGULATION OF HEALTHCARE DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The great importance of such good as health, necessitates its constant protection. Providing citizens with treatment and preventive care at a high quality level and to a sufficient extent depends on the available material and technical facilities of medical institutions, professional training and qualification of medical specialists. Among the prerequisites for providing high quality health services is financial support - one of the fundamental factors that has a primary impact on health care development and the socio-economic performance of medicine as a whole. The main problem with financing health care institutions, the provision of health care services in the healthcare sector, is the residual principle, which is associated with the chronic shortage of budget allocations for domestic medicine. Due to insufficient funding and misuse of state budget funds, not fully meeting the needs of the population in the provision of health care services, a decision was made to reform the health care system in Ukraine, which will allow in a short time to motivate healthcare professionals to provide quality medical care to the population at all levels. Within the framework of specialized and inpatient medical care, the basic principle is "money follows the patient". Health care institutions in the process of reform are now financially motivated to use evidence-based (effective) treatments so that ineffective (inappropriate) procedures can be eliminated. Creating the autonomy of health care facilities contributes to increasing the financial and economic independence of health care facilities, managing facilities more flexibly, creating incentives to improve the provision of quality health care to the public, and at the same time increasing the economic efficiency of hospital assets.
