o:28317 Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the performance and costs of hospital health care in Serbia Uticaj pandemije kovida 19 na učinak i troškove bolničke zdravstvene zaštite u Srbiji en Abstract: Since its appearance at the end of 2019, the disease of the COVID-19 virus has grown from the local level into a global pandemic that has not bypassed the Republic of Serbia. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the health system, the economy and the general condition of the population. Depending on the available hospital and staff capacities, each of the countries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic has established measures to struggle and treat citizens affected by the pandemic. In the newly created conditions, state-owned health care institutions and the Republic of Serbia focused their capacities on treatment and rehabilitation of COVID-19 patients, which had an impact on the management, organization of work and efficiency of health care institutions as well as additional costs for the overall health care system in the period from March 2020 to January 2022. This study shows the effects of the pandemic on the performance and costs of state-owned health facilities with a special focus on acute inpatient facilities in the Republic of Serbia. Medical analysis consists of: differences in the total number of patients, outpatients, changes in the number of visits in the private sector, the value of the case-mix index, the number of operations in acute hospitals, day hospital procedures, and consumption of reserve antibiotics. The financial analysis consists of: allocations for health in the budget of the Republic of Serbia, investments in public health, additional allocations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, analysis of the budget of the Health Insurance Fund (HIF), expenditures on salaries, drugs and medical supplies, cost per day, and average cost per patient. The result of the COVID-19 pandemic is a decline in elective operations and the number of outpatient visits and, on the other hand, an increase in spending in the health sector, as a result of significant growth in investment in tertiary institutions and in new hospitals, wages and overall current spending Sažetak: Od svog pojavljivanja krajem 2019. godine, bolest izazvana virusom kovid 19 je sa lokalnog nivoa prerasla u globalnu pandemiju koja nije zaobišla ni Republiku Srbiju. Pandemija kovida 19 uticala je na zdravstveni sistem, privredu i opšte stanje stanovništva. U zavisnosti od raspoloživih bolničkih kapaciteta i kapaciteta osoblja, svaka od zemalja pogođenih pandemijom kovida 19 uspostavila je mere za borbu i lečenje građana pogođenih pandemijom. U novonastalim uslovima, državne zdravstvene ustanove i Republika Srbija su svoje kapacitete usmerile na lečenje i rehabilitaciju obolelih od kovida 19, što je uticalo na upravljanje, organizaciju rada i efikasnost zdravstvenih ustanova, kao i na dodatne troškove za ukupan zdravstveni sistem u periodu od marta 2020. do januara 2022. godine. Ova studija pokazuje uticaje pandemije na rad i troškove zdravstvenih ustanova u državnom vlasništvu sa posebnim osvrtom na akutne stacionarne kapacitete ustanova u Republici Srbiji. Medicinsku analizu čine: razlike u ukupnom broju pacijenata, ambulantnih pacijenata, promene u broju poseta u privatnom sektoru, vrednosti case-mix indeksa, broj tretiranih hirurških kliničkih epizoda, broj procedura u dnevnoj bolnici i potrošnje rezervnih antibiotika. Finansijsku analizu čine: izdvajanja za zdravstvo u budžetu Republike Srbije, ulaganja u javno zdravstvo, dodatna izdvajanja zbog pandemije kovida 19, analiza budžeta Republičkog fonda za zdravstveno osiguranje (RFZO), rashodi po osnovu zarada, lekova i medicinskog materijala, cene po bolesničkom danu i prosečne cene po pacijentu. Posledica pandemije kovida 19 je pad elektivnih operacija i broja ambulantnih poseta, a sa druge strane poveć anje potrošnje u zdravstvenom sektoru, kao rezultat značajnog rasta investicija u tercijarne ustanove i nove bolnice, plate i ukupnu tekuć u potrošnju Keywords: COVID-19, hospital care, non-COVID patients, performance, costs, Serbia Ključne reči: kovid 19, bolnička nega, pacijenti koji nisu kovid, performanse, troškovi, Srbija 1552099 10.5937/EKOPRE2202087V 2023-03-21T11:48:19.413Z 44 no 46 Simo Vuković Marina Topalović person Draško Lazović person Dragan Lončar Univerzitet u Beogradu Ekonomski fakultet person 12931431 0000-0002-7883-6567 application/pdf 333255 https://phaidrabg.bg.ac.rs/o:28317 no yes 1 70 92000001 11A03 Ekonomika preduzeća 70 1-2 87 100 2022
