Evidence-based healthcare management

Evidence of the effectiveness and efficiency of management decisions being taken in health care of any system or model is of great importance for specialists. The health care system development in the economically developed countries of Europe, North America, Asia, and the South Pacific Ocean shows clear convergent trends. Three priority areas characterize them: strengthening the budgetary and state principle, compulsory health insurance, and additional (voluntary or departmental, corporate) health insurance coverage. These processes are extremely difficult to assess because no country has proven data on the analysis and comparative assessments, synthesis, and logic of definitions development are utilized. Based on the results, the point at issue is the formation of a new culture of management, one of the functions of which is to acquire and effectively use new knowledge. The ability to obtain and analyze the necessary information and use it in decision-making should become one of the key management competencies.
