Studies from Heidelberg University Provide New Data on Healthcare Economics (The shaded side of the UHC cube: a systematic review of human resources for health management and administration in social health protection schemes)

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Health & Medicine Week -- Data detailed on Economics - Healthcare Economics have been presented. According to news reporting originating from Mannheim, Germany, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Managers and administrators in charge of social protection and health financing, service purchasing and provision play a crucial role in harnessing the potential advantage of prudent organization, management and purchasing of health services, thereby supporting the attainment of Universal Health Coverage."

Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Heidelberg University, "However, very little is known about the needed quantity and quality of such staff, in particular when it comes to those institutions managing mandatory health insurance schemes and purchasing services. As many health care systems in low- and middle-income countries move towards independent institutions (both purchasers and providers) there is a clear need to have good data on staff and administrative cost in different social health protection schemes as a basis for investing in the development of a cadre of health managers and administrators for such schemes."

According to the news editors, the research concluded: "We report on a systematic literature review of human resources in health management and administration in social protection schemes and suggest some aspects in moving research, practical applications and the policy debate forward."
