Contribution of private sector to the effectiveness of health care provision

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of inpatient healthcare facilities in Croatia, in order to find out if private facilities are more effective than public. Using PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation), we analyzed 99 selected departments representing various specialised, private and public inpatient health facilities in Croatia. For that purpose the 20 indicators are grouped into five criteria to measure effectiveness of inpatient healthcare facilities. Hence, the purpose of the paper is to define tools allowing decision makers to manage their facilities more effectively. Furthermore, this would further improve responsiveness to public demands.
