| Summary: | The outbreak of the coronavirus disease
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has delivered an enormous
shock to the global economy, exacting a large human toll,
shutting down major economic sectors, and deeply upending
labor markets. The objective of this analysis is to identify
pragmatic steps to improve hospital performance in Poland
and propose actionable short- and medium-term roadmaps for
reforming hospitals post Coronavirus (COVID-19). The World
Bank health team has a long history of engagement in the
health sector in Poland and has built on various pieces of
analysis to meet the objectives of this study. In addition
to studying the hospital sector and the reform experience to
date, the study team has held focused discussions with
senior executives at Polish hospitals and other key
stakeholders within the Polish health care system. Drawing
upon expertise in hospital evaluation and management, health
economics, and health services research, the study team
identifies and assesses the critical challenges facing
Polish hospitals in the areas of efficiency and
effectiveness and proposes recommendations that key
stakeholders can launch in the short or medium term to begin
to address those challenges. While the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic has had an enormous impact on the Polish
hospital system over the last fourteen months, this analysis
focuses on the anticipated post-pandemic environment for hospitals. |
