Abstract:
With rising healthcare costs, payers are transforming the way they pay healthcare providers. Currently, there is much interest in value-based financing and accountable care models. However, finance transformation in healthcare goes beyond changing funding models. The way funds flow to providers and how patients share healthcare costs also need to be transformed to ensure an overall sustainable value-based financing system. A structured model of finance transformation in healthcare is proposed in this article supported by evidential review, which discusses several fundamental and critical factors affecting finance transformation and explores some strategies that could help sustain the new financing models. Hopefully, this model can serve as a useful guide to healthcare systems embarking on finance transformation for long term cost sustainability.

Abstract:
E-finance applications, being the significant outcome of the rapid developments in information technologies in the finance sector, have grown to be increasingly significant and beneficial. Time-saving e-finance applications are more important for healthcare professionals as they have an intensive work schedule. In this research, the healthcare professionals working in Turkey, the factors influencing their intention to use the e-finance application is intended to be examined. Data collected from a sample of 517 people, including doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals, were analysed through Structural Equation Modelling. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that the Trust variable has a major effect on healthcare workers’ intention to use e-finance. This research also finds that Personal Initiatives, Ease of Use and Usefulness have a positive and significant impact on the aforementioned dependent variable, respectively. As a result, findings that will increase the use of e-finance applications by healthcare professionals are presented in the study.

Abstract:
Framework: Healthcare project finance (PF) involves long-term structural investments in hospitals, typically within a public–private partnership (PPP). Banks represent the third major stakeholder, supporting the private player. Within this well-known framework, digital platforms represent a new virtual stakeholder, operating as a bridging node that incorporates information, and eases transactions. The relationships among the stakeholders are re-engineered around the platform and may be expressed with network theory patterns, even considering its multilayer extensions. Justification: As these investments are highly leveraged, especially during the construction phase, bankability represents a major sustainability concern. Objective: The research question is focused on the savings deriving from the introduction of networked digital platforms, and on their impact on bankability, shaping a new PPP model. Methodology: The study is conducted through (a) an economic–financial sensitivity analysis where digital savings impact on key PF parameters, including bankability; (b) a mathematical interpretation, based on network theory, where the stakeholders of two ecosystems—respectively, without and with a digital platform—are compared. Results: The creation of a value-adding “pie” anticipates its partitioning among the value co-creating stakeholders. This study represents an advance in the field, showing how technological innovation may improve the overall bankability and the value creation of leveraged infrastructural investments, even beyond the healthcare industry.

Abstract:
Subject. The article presents theoretical and historical considerations on the emergence of the contemporary healthcare system in Russia, developments in models and forms of public healthcare protection as public and economic constructs change. Objectives. The study substantiates versatile methodological approaches to evaluating the efficiency of healthcare finance regionally. Methods. Based on the integrated method of factor analysis, the methodological approach evaluates some components of efficiency, i.e. available budgetary finance and resources, social and medical efficiency. To evaluate each type of efficiency, we determines socio-economic, medical and demographic indicators split into blocks. Results. We examined the model of the contemporary one-source finance of the Russian healthcare in regions and provided a detailed account of all cash flows and influx. The article analyzes the existing methodological approaches to evaluating the efficiency of healthcare finance, marks a wide spectrum of relevant issues pointed out by contemporary researchers. The technique was tested with the case of the healthcare systems in the Perm Krai, Sverdlovsk Oblast and Samara Oblast, and the comparative approach to evaluating the regional healthcare and the national indicators. Thus, we found critical points and challenging areas in the healthcare systems of the analyzable regions. Conclusions and Relevance. The methodological approach to evaluating the efficiency of regional healthcare finance we propose is versatile and applicable to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Full text
Abstract:
In the global South, low-income populations are faced with frequent health shocks. Formal mechanisms to protect them against these shocks are absent or limited. Thus, what are the mechanisms used by low-income rural populations to finance healthcare? This paper draws on a qualitative study to examine the healthcare financing mechanisms of low-income rural populations in Cameroon. The findings suggest that low-income populations use 13 mechanisms to finance healthcare. Depending on several factors, people may use more than one of these mechanisms. In addition, social factors shape people’s patterns of usage of these mechanisms. Patterns of usage of these mechanisms are embedded in the principle of reciprocity. The notion of reciprocity does seem to discourage people from enrolling in the limited voluntary health insurance programmes which exist in various communities. Newly insured people were more likely to drop out if they did not receive a payout.

Abstract:
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is throwing a new factor into hospitals calculations about how to proceed with current and future healthcare strategy implementations. As entire nations encourage their populations to remain stay home, quarantine, avoid coming out and wear masks till lockdown open, while healthcare providers doctors, nurses, technicians and other administrative staffs are more active than ever in response to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. We expect a significant increase in costs after the pandemic due to change in services and infrastructure, use of personal protective equipment and extra sanitization used by medical staff. To identify ways to improve liquidity, cash flow and cost management due to damage done by COVID -19, we systematically reviewed journals on cost management in hospitals, reports from healthcare finance management agencies, conducted focus groups webinar and websites that includes health policies, healthcare management costs, finance and factors such as departmental cost management in hospitals. The results were clubbed into two parts i.e. one was healthcare revenue challenge and second was strategies for regenerate revenue during and after COVID-19. COVID-19 has shown a significant impact on the healthcare revenue cycle, financial operations, supply chain management, hospital operations and even for those who provide finances. Hospitals and healthcare systems needs to do the work on war footing in supply chain, clinical services, diagnostics services and operations management by ensuring that the management drives the strategies, transform process, create cost-reduction goals and identify possible sources of savings based on the organizations capital and liquid shortfall, using internal and external benchmarking.

Abstract:
The current United States health care systems has challenges and inconsistencies resulting from deficiencies in prevention and the optimal management of the sports-related concussion that goes beyond the acute injury. The current system leads to gaps in optimal care for children beginning with coaches who fail to identify a sport-relation concussion, remove a player from the practice or game or properly assess the player for a concussion before returning them to play according to each states’ laws; to more systemic problems that result from lack of communication with parents and school officials. The result is a delay in diagnosis and treatment, and in the provision of follow-up health services, concussion-related educational and insurance-related services and applicable insurance waivers. Viewed through the lens of a public health socioecological framework, the actors and social and environmental factors, and policy-sensitive participants can be clarified with respect to formulating public health policy in order to identify areas amenable to intervention and health risk mitigation of school-age youth at risk.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all aspects of healthcare. The NHS has had to manoeuvre faster than ever before, which is remarkable for a huge organisation known to advance slowly and steadily. The adaptations have had both positive and negative impacts. There were also funding changes, in the form of temporary contractual arrangements. As the NHS plans for the future, an opportunity has arisen to fundamentally change the NHS funding structure. This article will describe the effect of COVID-19 on healthcare finance, the challenges in developing a new payment structure, and the role that clinicians can play in helping shape funding arrangements in the future.

Abstract:
Devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic throughout the world enhance the societal requests for effective healthcare and social protection systems, modern education, and high-quality infrastructure. In Ukraine, education, healthcare, and social services have been chronically deteriorating, and the corona-crisis has further exacerbated their state and increased poverty in the country. The aim of this study is to reveal the main weaknesses of fiscal policy in Ukraine and to outline the prospects of public finance transformations under the impact of the COVID-19. To achieve this aim, the indicators of fiscal policy response to the pandemic in Ukraine are calculated and a comparative analysis of Ukraine’s public finance structure with the international patterns is undertaken. A moderate fiscal impulse and insufficient fiscal rescue package in Ukraine are shown. Moreover, the inconsistencies of anti-crisis fiscal policy instruments with the international best practice are revealed. Summarizing the available theoretical sources and recent applied research allows identifying the prospects of public finances transformations under the impact of the COVID-19 in a global context. Along with the obtained results of Ukraine’s fiscal sector analysis, these form the basis for shaping the fiscal policy response in Ukraine over the medium term. Proposals for public financing of Ukraine’s health care and educational sectors, of the social safety nets and infrastructures under the impact of the pandemic are developed. Offsetting measures from the expenditure and revenue sides of the budget are drawn up for closing the arising fiscal gaps.

Full text
Abstract:
The availability of resources and their concentration in the place of greatest need, will not allow us to successfully overcome a medical surge without the energy required to activate these resources and activities, and increase their quantities if necessary, that is why the staff and management of healthcare institutions are forced to making ethical crisis decisions about who wins and who loses. This study highlights the versatility of the concept of ‘energy’ by attributing it to money or financial resources, which are highly essential in dealing with surges as the healthcare system adopts the appropriate capacity level. This study considers the means (space, staff, supplies, and specific resources) at the disposal of healthcare institutions for the control of diseases as economic resources to identify ways for enhancing their capacity, especially during periods of medical surges such as that caused by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The medical resources are dependent on ‘energy’, albeit not in the strictest sense of the term. The article, thus, points out that while limited resources are the norm in economic theory, a medical surge provides an opportunity to sufficiently extend the resources within the health system capacity through increased funding.

Abstract:
Introduction/Objective. Estimating the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCD), multimorbidities, and their association with self-rated health as well as satisfaction with healthcare. Methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted among ethnic Serb communities at Kosovo and Metohija during 2015?2016. Data of sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics, self-rated health status and satisfaction with healthcare was obtained through a survey which included 1 067 adults, 535 of whom reported presence of non-communicable disease. Multinomial regression was performed to analysis factors associated with self-rated health and self-rated satisfaction with the healthcare. Results. Presence of one NCD was reported by 50.1% respondents, whereas 23.1% of the respondents reported multimorbidity. While self-reported NCD presence was negatively associated with self-rated health (p: 0.001-0.016), no association between NCDs and satisfaction with healthcare was observed (p: 0.178-0.974). Being single (p: 0.011-0.017), lower educational level (p: 0.031-0.047), regular breakfast (p = 0.032), frequent vegetable intake (p: 0.009-0.029), no alcohol use (p = 0.010), shorter waiting time (p: 0.001-0.004) and sufficient finance for dental care (p = 0.021) were factors statistically significantly correlated with greater satisfaction with the healthcare. Conclusion. Presence of non-communicable diseases was negatively associated with self-rated health status, while shorter waiting time and adequate finances were associated with higher level of satisfaction with the healthcare. The results of our study could be of the importance for policy makers in creating the more effective healthcare service in unstable political and security situations.

Abstract:
Using both graphical and geometric analyses, this paper examines the extent of inequity in healthcare finance among the Nigerian population. One of the acclaimed plans in healthcare in this teeming community is the mix method of financing but the system in practise is dominated with Object Oriented Programmings (OOPs) meanwhile the degree of income inequality still remain high. Using the Nigerian Living Standard Survey (NLSS) data conducted in 2004, the framework for this study relies on Kakwani Progressivity Index (KPI). A decomposition of the groups into lower and upper bound however, reveal that health payment for lower bound is regressive while payment for upper bound is progressive. Although, the upper bound result dominates the entire result which finally suggests a progressive system arising from the spending habit of the rich in seeking for healthcare services abroad.

Abstract:
This paper is about financial products which meet the healthcare costs of the elderly. It covers products that include elements of housing and healthcare provision, as well as insurance products with financial benefits that meet or reduce the cost of healthcare. It is hoped that the paper will be of interest to property developers and managers of retirement housing and nursing homes, as well as to the actuarial profession and the financial services community.The paper introduces some of the areas that the author has researched and worked in over the past three years. During the same period, many insurance companies and developers are known to have researched the market for financial products which cover the cost of healthcare for the elderly. Demographic changes, coupled with more widespread home ownership and occupational pensions, have created a major opportunity for new products. Continuation of these trends, and political and cultural changes away from State provision, suggest that the need for new products will grow. In the U.S.A., similar trends have led to a rapidly growing market for many products combining finance and healthcare for the elderly. In the U.K., the market has been slower to respond to the opportunities.

Abstract:
Purpose: The submitted article focuses on how to solve the problems faced by the European healthcare systems. Design/Methodology: The article consists of two sections. The first one is theoretical and presents interdisciplinary achievements of researchers. The second section includes examples of solutions applied in Sweden, Germany and Great Britain. In the theoretical part, books and articles on the methodology of VBHC creation were reviewed. The empirical part is based on reports on the introduction of VBHC. Findings: The desire to improve cost and clinical effectiveness indicates the need for a value-based healthcare (VBHC). Thus, the concept of VBHC should contribute, according to experts, economists as well as finance and management specialists, to the economic efficiency and clinical effectiveness. Research limitations/implications: Unfortunately, this is a lengthy process to be preceded by many activities. Healthcare registers and databases belong to the most important ones. Thanks to them, it is possible to create the key performance indicators (KPI) allowing for a rational health policy. Original value: To the achievements contained in the publications, the submitted article adds the need to take into account appropriately selected KPIs analyzing the macroeconomic environment for the functioning of hospitals.

Abstract:
Objectives‘Horizontal inequity’ in healthcare finance occurs when people with equal income contribute unequally to healthcare payments. Prior research is lacking on horizontal inequity in China. Accordingly, this study set out to examine horizontal inequity in the Chinese healthcare financing system in 2002 and 2007 through two rounds of national household health surveys.DesignTwo rounds of cross-sectional study.SettingHeilongjiang Province, China.ParticipantsAdopting a multistage stratified random sampling, 3841 households with 11 572 individuals in 2003 and 5530 households with 15 817 individuals in 2008 were selected.MethodsThe decomposition method of Aronsonet alwas used in the present study to measure the redistributive effects and horizontal inequity in healthcare finance.FindingsOver the period 2002–2007, the absolute value of horizontal inequity in total healthcare payments decreased from 93.85 percentage points to 35.50 percentage points in urban areas, and from 113.19 percentage points to 37.12 percentage points in rural areas. For public health insurance, it increased from 17.84 percentage points to 28.02 percentage points in urban areas, and decreased from 127.93 percentage points to 0.36 percentage points in rural areas. Horizontal inequity in out-of-pocket payments decreased from 79.92 percentage points to 24.83 percentage points in urban areas, and from 127.71 percentage points to 53.10 percentage points in rural areas.ConclusionsOur results show that horizontal inequity in total healthcare financing decreased over the period 2002–2007 in China. In addition, out-of-pocket payments contributed most to the extent of horizontal inequity, which were reduced both in urban and rural areas over the period 2002–2007.

Abstract:
Purpose Amongst the alternate property sectors, healthcare property has recently become an important property sector for major investors such as pension funds in the global property landscape; particularly in the UK, and being driven by the ageing population demographics. The purpose of this paper is to assess the significance, risk-adjusted performance and portfolio diversification benefits of UK healthcare property in a UK property and mixed-asset portfolio over 2007–2016. Both healthcare property and listed healthcare property channels are assessed. Drivers and risk factors for the on-going development of the healthcare property sector are also identified. Design/methodology/approach Using annual total returns, the risk-adjusted performance and portfolio diversification benefits of UK healthcare property over 2007–2016 is assessed. An asset allocation diagram is used to assess the role of both healthcare property channels in a UK property portfolio and in a UK mixed-asset portfolio. Findings Both UK healthcare property and listed healthcare property delivered superior risk-adjusted returns compared to UK property, stocks and listed property over 2007–2016, with portfolio diversification benefits in the fuller mixed-asset portfolio context, but not in a narrower property portfolio context. Importantly, this sees both UK healthcare property channels as strongly contributing to the UK property and mixed-asset portfolios across the entire portfolio risk spectrum and validating the property industry perspective of healthcare property being low risk and providing diversification benefits in a mixed-asset portfolio. However, this was not to the loss or substitution of traditional direct property exposure. Practical implications Healthcare property is an alternate property sector that has become increasingly important in recent years. The results highlight the important role of both healthcare property channels in a UK property portfolio and in a UK mixed-asset portfolio. The strong risk-adjusted performance of both UK healthcare property compared to UK property, stocks and listed property sees both UK healthcare property channels contributing to the mixed-asset portfolio across the entire portfolio risk spectrum. This is particularly important, as many investors (e.g. pension funds) now see healthcare property as an important property sector in their overall portfolio; particularly with the ageing population dynamics in most countries. The importance of both healthcare property channels sees healthcare property exposure accessible to both small investors and large investors. Originality/value This paper is the first published empirical research analysis of the risk-adjusted performance of UK healthcare property, and the role of healthcare property in a UK property portfolio and in a UK mixed-asset portfolio. This research enables empirically validated, more informed and practical property investment decision-making regarding the strategic role of both healthcare property and listed healthcare property in a portfolio.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate how healthcare funds differ from healthcare exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in terms of delivering positive alpha, beta, and hedging against a market downturn risk. The authors consider which vehicle is more effective in providing diversification within the healthcare sector and to what extent can investors gain by diverting a portion of their holdings in the S&P 500 index fund into either a value-weighted healthcare fund portfolio or ETFs. Design/methodology/approach Pooled and individual regressions are employed to estimate single and four-factor models of 132 healthcare mutual funds and 43 healthcare ETFs over the past four decades. The authors performed additional regressions to test the performance of mutual funds and ETFs relative to market volatility, market downturns, and policy influence. Findings The authors find that both healthcare funds and ETFs provide significantly positive average alpha and hedge against a market downturn risk. Holding an all-stock portfolio such as the S&P 500 index fund can be improved by simply adding a value-weighted healthcare portfolio, resulting in both a higher return and a lower standard deviation. However, returns for these funds and ETFs perform poorly in a very volatile market. ETF returns increased with the passing of the Obamacare. Healthcare sector funds and ETFs declined with the recent criticism from Donald Trump since he became the apparent GOP nominee in July of 2016. Originality/value Extending the literature in both sample size and scope of issues, this paper provides investors and financial advisors with practical guidance for achieving higher portfolio return while lowering standard deviation. Additionally, this study documents policy influence on the returns of healthcare mutual funds and healthcare ETFs.

Abstract:
Tax-exempt classification of nonprofit hospitals has been increasingly subject to federal and state examination. Considering the benefits tax-exempt entities receive, it should not be surprising that these organizations face heavy regulatory scrutiny. The problem for tax-exempt hospitals is the lack of a clear and concise definition of charity care in order to maintain exempt status. State and local regulations aside, the IRS has not presented a consistent position regarding standards for nonprofit hospitals. This paper examines the evolution of hospital tax-exempt status and its relationship to charity care. Given the IRS's evolving and conflicting definitions of charity care, we can expect this issue to be debated for a long time to come.
