Estimating of socioeconomic effectiveness of public health insurance organizations

The question of the need to improve existing methods of calculating the result of the production function of health care organizations, in order to adequately determine the effectiveness and efficiency of their operations, is reviewed. Two approaches for solving this problem are proposed and their advantages are discussed. In particular, it is proposed to use a matching coefficient which allows taking into account the level of production and, consequently, finding conditional production volumes which could be carried out by organizations in the same conditions. Also, for comparison of the results of organizations' functioning, a method of reducing total production volume to equivalent units can be used. Some of the peculiarities of the studied organizations hindering the implementation of the proposed approaches and suggested activities that contribute to the elimination of their negative influence were highlighted. In general, both of these approaches to determining the actual result of the production function of health care organizations are viable, but require additional reforms of the health care system.
