Health care provider payment schemes consist of a complex set of arrangements used to influence provider behavior towards specific health policy objectives. The study aimed at: 1) providing a structured, comparative overview of current payment methods in selected Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries for different health care providers; 2) identifying and comparing major changes in payment schemes since 2010. Methods included: 1) development of a theoretical framework and data collection form; 2) desk research; 3) national experts’ consultations; 4) comparative analysis. The results indicate that the nine CEE countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, and Romania) show numerous similarities in provider payment method mix and in the general direction of the changes conducted in this field since 2010. Output-based payment methods prevail across all countries and types of providers. Primary health care (PHC) providers are characterized by the most diverse payment method mix, while both PHC and hospital inpatient care have experienced the most substantial changes in their payment schemes within the last 13 years. The most frequently conducted changes focused on modifying existing payment methods (e.g. detailing payment categories), and applying additional methods to pay for specific services or performance (e.g. fee-for-service, bonus payments). The objectives of conduced change were often similar, thus, there is high potential for a shared, cross-country learning.

“…In terms of industries, the mental health industry was dwarfed (in fact, it shows a total decline of 7.5% during the examined periods) by the hospitals industry, which cut a huge slice. The digital health industry achieved the fastest growth-in the examined periods-by 211% in the aggregate of the V4s [53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60].…”

Our study examined the financial situation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the health industry of the Visegrad Four (V4: Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary) in the period 2008–2021. The basis of the analysis was the reports available in the Crefoport database. During the analysis, we took into account four key financial indicators (liquidity, profitability (ROA), efficiency, capital structure) and used the Kaplan–Meier survival estimator to examine the viability of enterprises. In our study, we draw attention to the national economic importance of healthcare SMEs in the CEE region, and within that, in the V4 countries during the period of Industry 4.0 and the COVID-19 pandemic. Our research goal is to examine the life expectancy of healthcare enterprises operating in Hungary at the time of their establishment, in relation to the SMEs of the other three countries. The health industry SMEs of the V4 countries showed positive growth (+18%) in the period under review compared to the average of the 3 years before the COVID-19 pandemic, in the average of the first 3 years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study paid particular attention to the life expectancy of businesses at the time of establishment. According to our results, the life expectancy of healthcare enterprises operating in Hungary at the time of establishment is high, but it does not differ significantly from that of the other examined countries. Our study highlights that the health industry SMEs of the examined countries do not need financial support; they are standing on a stable footing, which provides them with an excellent opportunity to either expand abroad or introduce innovations.
