  • Title: [Health care needs and their assessment. Part 1. The role of health needs in the development, regulation and evaluation of the health care system].
    Author: Holcík J, Koupilová I.
    Journal: Cas Lek Cesk; 1999 Jan 04; 138(1):3-5. PubMed ID: 10953427.
    Abstract:
    The authors draw attention to the fact that higher spending on health care will not necessarily translate into better health. They advocate the importance of theoretical conceptual work and research in the field of health care and health services management. The needs-based approach is recommended as an alternative to the current models based on patient-physician interactions. The relationships between health needs, demands and health services provided should be further explored and their potential role as a basis for health policy in the Czech Republic should be addressed.
