LEIKOPP-9812861北欧卫生区私营化试点研究审查了挪威、瑞典和芬兰目前在医疗保健提供方面的变化，以及这些变化对北部居民的影响。虽然北欧国家的医疗保健私有化程度很小，但随着国家和地方在有管理的竞争中进行试验，这种情况正在稳步增加。这项由社会科学家组成的国际团队的研究重点是挪威北部、瑞典和芬兰的医生、卫生保健经理和居民/患者所看到的卫生保健筹资、组织和交付。方法包括邮寄问卷(翻译成当地语言)、访谈以及汇编和分析比较数据。这项初步研究的结果将被用来对北方的卫生保健提供系统进行纵向研究。

LEIKOPP-9812861Privatization of Nordic Health CareA pilot study examines current changes in the delivery of health care in Norway, Sweden, and Finland, and the consequences of those changes for northern residents. While the extent of privatization of health care in the Nordic countries is very small, it is increasing steadily, along with national and local experiments in managed competition. This study by an international team of social scientists focuses on health care financing, organization, and delivery as seen by physicians, health care managers, and residents/patients in northern Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Methods will include mail questionnaires (translated into the local language); interviews; and compilation and analysis of comparative data. The results of this pilot study will be used to frame a longitudinal study of health care delivery systems in the north.
