“…Some studies have already highlighted the situation in European Union member states [ 60 ], as well as the impact that Covid-19 has had on these countries in recent times. The Covid-19 pandemic has affected billions of people worldwide and has not only highlighted but also exacerbated the social and economic inequalities of recent decades [ 77 ]. This has caused new research to begin to penetrate the economic and social impact of the efficiency of research and development (R&D) spending in the health sector.…”

“…An interesting study on the changes brought about by advances in research in a sample of 23 European and OECD countries for the period 2009–2017 concludes that such investment is transformed into improvements in quality of life, finding that happiness, national wealth and health spending are the factors with the greatest influence on the European population’s perception of health [ 78 ]. It also indicates that it is necessary to be prepared to deal with any type of pandemic, such as the one we are currently experiencing, relying on the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and investment in health care capital to ensure an efficient allocation of resources in the public health system [ 77 , 78 ]. However, any intervention that focuses on growing the economy in a sustainable and durable way must be accompanied by interventions that compensate for commitments to health, safety and the environment.…”

Dynamics of Public Spending on Health and Socio-Economic Development in the European Union: An Analysis from the Perspective of the Sustainable Development Goals

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent years, healthcare has become a fundamental pillar of the level of well-being of any society. With the aim of improving the lives of countries and societies, in 2015 the United Nations (UN) approved the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Among the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out in the Agenda are health and well-being (O3) and the reduction of inequalities (O10). The general objective of this paper is to analyse the impact that the level of socioeconomic development, as well as the evolution of inequalities, have had on public spending on health in European Union countries. The research methodology is based on the application of a regression model and statistical techniques such as sigma convergence, beta convergence and the Gini index. We can see that the levels of public spending on health per capita, the level of socio-economic development and the degree of inequality are closely related in these countries. For this reason, we suggest maintaining sustainable economic growth to reduce the economic disparities between EU countries, and also the current differences in public spending on health per capita.

“…All health systems aim to improve citizens' health [10][11][12][13][14][15], respond to patient expectations, and equitably distribute the financial burden [12,16,17]. It is essential to know the needs in each region of the country and allocate resources accordingly in order to improve health-disease status [9].…”

Using Higher-Order Constructs to Estimate Health-Disease Status: The Effect of Health System Performance and Sustainability

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article aims to provide information to public agencies and policymakers on the determinants of health systems and their relationships that influence citizens’ health–disease status. A total of 61 indicators for each of 17 Spanish autonomous communities were collected from the Spanish Ministry of Health, Social Services, and Equality between 2008 and 2017. The applied technique was partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Concerning health–disease status, an influence of sustainability and performance on the health system was hypothesized. The findings revealed that health system sustainability had a negative effect on health–disease status, measured in terms of disease incidence. However, the relationship between health system performance and health–disease status is positive. Furthermore, health system performance mediates the relationship between sustainability and health–disease status. According to our study, if we consider the opposite poles that make up the definition of health–disease status (well-being and disease), this concept is defined more by the incidence of the negative aspect.

“…In recent years, countries' spending on health matters increased more than the increase in the gross domestic product (GDP) in most countries that belong to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) [29,43]. Developed countries, on average, allocate between 8% and 10% of their GDP to finance health [50]. However, for example, Spain reduced its healthcare budget after the 2008 crisis by approximately 14% [51].…”

Health Policies Based on Patient Satisfaction: A Bibliometric Study

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Healthcare decision-makers increasingly face a changing and ever-evolving landscape, forcing them to formulate public policies based on the results from different scientific investigations. This article evaluates the field of research on patient satisfaction as a basis for health policies. The analysis was carried out with a sample of 621 articles published between 2000 and 2020 in the Scopus database. The world’s largest producer and research co-operator on patient satisfaction and health policy was the United States. However, the most prolific authors, institutions, and journals are of British origin. Regarding the themes, we find that, in economic and management matters, scientific production is scarce. To study the evolution of keywords, we divided the study period into two periods of an equal number of years. In both sub-periods, the keyword “Human” stands out. In the second sub-period, the word “Perception” stands out, which indicates the current attention paid to the patient’s opinion.
