Resumen

Los sistemas sanitarios en Europa comparten muchas similitudes, tanto en los logros como en las deficiencias. Para paliar estas deficiencias se han emprendido reformas en casi todos los países. Se analiza brevemente la contratación como sistema de provisión de servicios sanitarios, aspecto central de muchas reformas, y la repercusión que tiene para la financiación y la gestión.

Es importante insistir en la importancia de proceder con experiencias piloto, en la aplicación de los contratos, dada la gran influencia del entorno cultural y económico en cualquier reforma.

Palabras clave:

The importance of the cultural and economic environment cannot be overtressed and it is wise to implement contracting systems after pilot experiences.
