Abstract:
This chapter investigates some elements of market competition in European
hospital care. We use the term market competition as a broad concept, covering
a diverse and hard to demarcate range of changes or reforms, such as the growth
of the profi t-making market, the rise of private entrants in hospital care, or
the introduction of new models for hospital funding that seek better to relate
payment to performance.
