The Polish Healthcare System's Regulatory Model for Long-Term Care

Key Points

The regulatory model for long-term care in Poland is fragmented, leading to gaps in quality assurance.
Existing regulations mainly address formal aspects like staff requirements and facility conditions, lacking comprehensive quality measures.
The model lacks essential instruments employed by leading countries to enhance care quality and outcomes.
Improvements in the Polish long-term care system are necessary to align better with successful international frameworks.

Abstract

This article focuses on the regulatory model of long-term care policy in the health care system. It advances the hypothesis that this model is characterized by fragmented and incomplete regulations concerning the quality of care services. Regulations mainly cover the formal and organizational dimension of care (housing conditions, equipment of facilities or requirements for the employment of staff). At the same time, the regulations introduce only a few instruments known from countries with the best developed long-term care systems, which serve to improve the quality of care services.
