Main Article Content

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present the main characteristics of selected health services financing schemes from the supply side and to analyse their impact on the behaviour of healthcare providers (in terms of the effectiveness of services provided and their volume). Analyses indicate that each of the existing financing mechanisms affects providers' decisions. The impact can be observed both in the short and long term, on healthcare entities and patients (micro effects) as well as on the whole healthcare system (macro effects). The article constitutes the first part of a mini-cycle of papers on methods of financing health services. The next ones will be focused on the popularity of the use of the described financing schemes in different countries and their implementation in the Polish system based on payments between the public payer and healthcare providers.(original abstract)
