Health Economics and Management R&D
Healthcare expenditures play an increasingly important role in national economic development. Our Project development and management work on the Turkish Social Security Institute’s health insurance reimbursement policies is directly tied to the nation’s health economy. The “Social Security Institute Hospital Inspection and Healthcare Services Quality Improvement Project” was designed to identify areas where national health funding could be better managed by improving efficiencies and reducing waste. With this objective, the Project team looked at health insurance reimbursement policies from a number of perspectives including resource utilization waste, preventable medical errors, developing quality indicators, and reducing costs related to hospital acquired infections.
The “Social Security Institute Updating and Revising the Formulary with Pharmaceutical Reimbursement Policies Project” focuses on improving public health status, efficiencies in healthcare services, healthcare quality, patient satisfaction, and sustainability by developing an effective and evidence-based decision making system.
