Objective: This study’s aim is to examine the equity in health care financing before and after the HTP and the financial consequences of the health care reform on the welfare of the households. Methods: To assess the impact of the reforms on health care finance, cross sectional analyses are performed on the Household Budget Survey 2003/2006, using Stata statistical software package. In order to assess the equity in health care financing, progressivity of the OOP payments is measured by Kakwani Index. In addition, catastrophic and impoverishing impacts of the OOP payments are measured as well. Results: Results show that the out-of-pocket payments are regressive in both periods. On the other hand, the incidence of catastrophic payments is low with approximately 5 percent of households spending more than 10 percent of total expenditure on health. As for the impoverishing effect, the results suggest that the OOP payments had a relatively stronger effect in 2003 on the impoverishment of households, compared to 2006. Conclusion: The results are not sufficient to criticize the policies and the results of the reform. Especially in order to analyze the impact of the reform on the financial protection of the poor, the results of the universal health insurance system that is introduced and initiated in 2008 should be evaluated. https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/30669/ Thu, 01 Jan 2015 00:00:01 GMT <div>Seveke, L. (Lynn)</div> Background: Stakeholders in the Dutch health care sector published prospects for the future. Since stakeholders are important actors in policy making, yet their prospects have not received much attention, this study analyses their prospects. This study aims to gain insight in how the stakeholders in the Dutch health care sector envision the future of health care in the period 2015-2025? The answer to this question is framed by the following four questions: 1) How is the future of health care envisioned with specific regard to quality, availability, accessibility and affordability by the stakeholders? 2) How do stakeholders envision their own role in the future health care? 3) How have stakeholders applied methodology from futures studies in their prospects? 4) Given that uncertainty about the future is inevitable, how do the stakeholders address uncertainty about the future in their prospects? Methods: 9 prospects from 18 stakeholder organisations in total, concerning the period 2015-2025 were subject to Grounded Theory analysis. Inductive and deductive coding resulted in axial coding networks for each of the research questions. Deductive coding was based on results of preliminary inductive coding and on the research questions. Through analysis of the networks each research question was answered. Results: The results show that stakeholders remain committed to the four public values but differ in their view how to uphold the values, facing pressures from increasing demand and decreasing personnel supply. Stakeholder roles will be affected by an independent and involved patient, leaving the provider to take a more coaching role. Challenges can be expected regarding task redistribution to lower levels and integral care provision. Ambiguity exists regarding the potential of redistribution of care to informal care givers. Moving to the construction of the prospects, the results show stakeholders primarily used forecasting but mixed this with room for future uncertainty and departed from normative viewpoints. Uncertainties were primarily reduced but in some cases acknowledged. Acknowledgement of uncertainty was found to enhance credibility. Normative uncertainties were not discussed. Conclusion: The majority of differences in the content were linked to implementation of views. Increased patient responsibility will affect the role of providers. The prospects can be characterised as ‘subjective forecasts with room for future uncertainties https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/62554/ Mon, 16 Aug 2021 00:00:01 GMT <div>Plexida, G.</div> https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/62559/ Wed, 18 Aug 2021 00:00:01 GMT <div>Termote, P.</div> https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/62561/ Tue, 24 Aug 2021 00:00:01 GMT <div>Nieuwkerk, H.F. van</div> https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/62549/ Wed, 25 Aug 2021 00:00:01 GMT <div>Bloem, A.I.</div> https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/62562/ Fri, 27 Aug 2021 00:00:01 GMT <div>Dekker, K.</div> https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/62550/ Sat, 28 Aug 2021 00:00:01 GMT <div>Koornneef, D.J.M.</div> https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/62552/ Wed, 20 Oct 2021 00:00:01 GMT <div>Wild, S.C. van der</div> https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/62553/ Fri, 18 Feb 2022 00:00:01 GMT <div>Xykominos, D.S.</div> https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/62551/ Wed, 01 Jun 2022 00:00:01 GMT <div>Verbeek, F.A.J.</div>
