The Use of Public Resources in Hospitals

Posted by Courtney Tolmie

Mar 26 2009

Focusing on high levels of debt in Polish hospitals, the Gdansk Institute for MArket Economics (GIME) analyzed previously unreleased data on all hospitals in Poland to attempt to identify revenue and spending patterns among hospitals that are in the greatest debt. Researchers examined hospitals grouped by levels of debt, geographical location, and costs. To supplement their quantitative research, GIME conducted four follow-up case studies of hospitals with varying experiences.

Upcoming PETS Resource

As part of its new grant window on public expenditure tracking and absenteeism studies, TAP is producing a guide based on lessons learned, challenges faced, and strategies developed by former grantees. Following a six-step process from Developing a Topic to Undertaking Evidence-Based Advocacy, we will carefully outline the activities that PETS can involve and stories from practitioners who have been involved in "Learning by Doing" PETS exercises in the past. Expected Summer 2009.
