Five super-regions promise radical reform for Finland

The Finnish government, a coalition between the centre right and the social democrats, is proposing that all publicly paid for healthcare and care services should be procured by five new super regions. They would take over purchasing these services from the 320 municipalities who handle elderly and primary care and the 20 hospital regions who run acute care. But will the new regions actually take over the public nursing homes and hospitals or merely procurement of services? The move is seen as a potential bonanza for the private sector. Is this correct? We talk to Prof. Juhani Lehto about the odds on change.

Report: IT is finally giving operators the edge

It has been a tough five years for private healthcare in Europe. but what was noticeable at Healthcare Europa, the only annual conference for the sector, was the spring in the step of the CEOs of large operators such as BMI, Terveystalo and Euromedic. New web and big data applications are finally proving that they can grow patient numbers by 10% or more, demonstrate and measure quality and improve efficiency. The three things which stood out from this event were, firstly, clear signs that new IT is impacting the sector, secondly, the growing confidence of management teams in private companies that they can deploy this to good effect, and thirdly, a sense that the public sector was often completely incapable of rolling out similar solutions.
