ACCOUNTING and MANAGEMENT IN THE REFORM OF EUROPEAN HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS

Objective



AREHCAS aims at investigating and evaluating the different forms and The training content of the AREHCAS project is based on the awareness of a outcomes of the penetration of accounting in the management of European shift of relevance from a "macro" perspective focused on the analysis of health care systems. In the attempt to foster collaboration among national or regional economies to a closer attention to the "micro" level of the actual economic functioning of health care organizations. researcher investigating similar issues in different contexts. The proposed research network brings together the accumulated expertise of Accounting and management thus emerge as crucial bodies of knowledge in leading European research teams in the area of health care organization the reform of health care systems and the training of researchers in this area as a key element for an improved understanding of the transition of management and accounting. The collective experience of the research partners suggests that the increased relevance of accounting within health welfare economies in Europe. The aim of the proposed research network is to care reform can be only partially understood as a technical issue looking expose prospective researchers in variety of fields in the social sciences for "improvements". In fact although often masked by the language of the to the possibilities of a growing research agenda in health care which sees technical and the procedural accounting can have significant consequences the technical practice of accounting and of its management implications in the social, organizational and professional spheres of health care within a wider social and economic environment. Training will thus be characterized by an interdisciplinary approach that will allow to delivery. The aim of the proposed research network is thus to explore the interpret management and accounting practices in wider terms. Rather than possibilities of a growing research agenda in health care which sees the focusing on single technical and narrowly defined topic, young visiting technical practice of accounting and of its management implications within a wider social and economic environment. The ambiguity of technical researchers the research network will address a number of logically and accounting practice is such that it often has an uncertain relationship to institutionally connected research themes that are seen as relevant in the organizational and professional practices. Accounting developments will reform of health care systems across Europe
thus be seen and assessed in wider terms: rather than focusing on single narrowly defined topic the research network will address a number of logically and institutionally connected research themes that are seen as relevant in the reform of health care systems across Europe. Similar issues have been emerging in many European countries dealing with the crucial role of accounting in the rationing of health care expenditure. Nevertheless accounting research in the area of health care systems is to a large extent nationally orientated. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the institutional contexts in which accounting is asked to intervene systematic and empirically grounded cross-national comparisons are needed. In the view of the creation of a "common system" for health care services across European countries, what needs to be investigated is the way in which a generic concern with efficiency and cost control has been translated into different institutional and organisational contexts. In this perspective reforms have to be seen primarily as context-dependent processes which are determined by their conditions of possibility and show degrees of variation even within the same country. Though cost control, accountability and management are called for in virtually all attempts to redesign the provision of health care services, consequences are very likely to be different when conditions of possibility differ at the outset. Given its comparative nature the proposed research project is based on a close contact between researchers that under different conditions wouldn't have the opportunity to collect data and gain in depth experience of other process of health care reform. Furthermore, the research network has been chosen as the mode of implementation for the opportunity it gives to bring together management researchers and professionals operating within health care organizations i.e. those that might be seen as the end-users of the research output.
