Purpose: The purpose of this research was to demonstrate a new model of interactive governance as an innovative tool in health care management in crisis situations. Project/Methodology/Approach: The analysis of the new model of interactive governance in the context of health care is based, among other things, on a descriptive model and certain elements of economic analysis of law, expressed in the pursuit of optimal efficiency from legal and social points of view. Findings: It was determined that there exists a correlation between health care and the public administration system. These interconnections comprise various elements reflecting a specific whole, which is relatively permanent and discernible among other parts of social reality. Those elements give rise to a specific network of various interconnections: legal, financial, economic, and trade. This results in a new model of governance based on a multi-level partnership of all public and non-public entities participating in governance. Practical implications: The presented results are important for all public authorities since they facilitate a more effective change design in the field of management related to health care. This is especially important in respect of organising and administering legally protected goods in the health care system, which should successfully protect public health and the health of individual patients in each state. Originality/value: This article presents the possible directions for change in health care management, which can contribute to improved effectiveness of activities undertaken by public authorities and the implementation of effective administration.
The COVID-19 pandemic has become one of the greatest global challenges of recent years. It forced the governments of many countries to introduce new and unique legal instruments, whose main objective was to prevent, counteract and combat the infectious disease caused by a novel coronavirus. One of these instruments was the possibility to limit the functioning of public administration offices. This accelerated the design and implementation of solutions which, on the one hand, ensured the safety and health protection of employees of public offices and, on the other hand, allowed the continuation of public tasks. The subject of the article is the analysis of Polish legal solutions concerning the possibility of remote work in connection with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the study is to show that the coronavirus pandemic forced the Polish legislator to introduce new instruments into the legal order regarding the organisation and functioning of the state administrative apparatus. One of them was the possibility of remote work, i.e. work that is carried out away from the place of its permanent performance.
The modern world is very complex and complicated matter. New communication technologies have changed perception of time and space, the states and their governments are no longer the main actors on a public life stage. Unimaginably rapid progress of science and technology has been the main reason for which more and more people do not understand or have clear difficulties in assimilating and using the achievements of civilization. Economy based on knowledge and development of innovative society forced modern homo sapiens to faster absorption of changes, flexibility in action and much greater mobility than ever before.
