The financial sustainability of the health systems often reveals the ability of policy makers to finance
healthcare in the face of growing cost pressures, with populations ageing, new technologies and increased patient
expectations for healthcare coverage and quality. Thus, the healthcare systems need to reinvent themselves by using
innovative financing mechanisms coupled with electronic information and communication systems, while offering
greater transparency, flexibility and choice and increasing access to the services available. The paper analyses the
healthcare financing models: the national health system, the social insurance or the private insurance model so that
the Romanian health care reform should preserve the best elements of its existing system while selectively adapt
techniques and processes that seemed to have been successful in other countries.
Moreover, the application of information and communication technologies – eHealth offers new possibilities
for improving almost every aspect of healthcare, from making medical systems more powerful and responsive to
providing better health information to all. |
