| Congress Main Theme - Health Insurance Sustainability: The challenge of the rising costs! |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Healthcare costs have been increasing a lot. The increase in expenditure must be accommodated by income from insurance premiums or subsystem contributions. These have also been increasing. How much can we pay? How to support expenses at international levels, with nationally based salaries? How to avoid unaffordable premiums? And the consequent reduction in policy holders? What are the consequences for private providers and the Portuguese Public Health Service? How to guarantee the sustainability of this system? These are the topics to be discussed at this round table. This round table will be held on Friday, November 8th. |

|
| Round Table - Organizational models and system sustainability |
|
|
| |
|
|
| How to guarantee the sustainability of a system in constant loss? With what models? With a renovation? With a fresh start? What is the role of the new public hospitals model of governance (ULS)? What about the PPP’s (Public-Private Partnerships)? Are CRI’s (Integrated Responsibility Centers) ? Are there other models? What health do we want, or can we have for the Portuguese? We hope to reply to these pertinent issues in this round table, and count on several representatives of the different players to provide such possible solutions for the sustainability of the Portuguese Health system. This round table will take place on Friday, November 8th. |
