From Health Affairs
Dear John,
On Monday, October 3 we will host a panel of speakers for a virtual
symposium on Disability & Health
to accompany the October theme issue of Health Affairs. Join us next
week, and check out the events
we'll be hosting all
month to accompany the theme issue.
Corruption In Health Care
In their September 2022 Health Affairs article, Giulia Dallera and
colleagues examine corruption in health care in the European Union
(EU).
Previous studies have found that informal payments, defined by Dallera
and colleagues as "transfer of money from patients to providers that was
either offered by patients or demanded by physicians in exchange for
preferential treatment," are the most visible manifestation of
corruption.
Prior studies also show that the highest levels of informal payments are
observed in countries that spend the least on public health care.
Using survey data collected between 2013 and 2019, Dallera and
colleagues determine that the prevalence of informal payments in EU
health care systems increased between 2013 and 2019, whereas the
perception of corruption in health care decreased.
The authors indicate that the practice of informal payments poses
challenges for the achievement of universal health coverage in the EU.
