is a very old saying, originating from England in the mid-to late 1800s. However, despite being in use for more than two centuries, its meaning is still not fully grasped in Slovenian healthcare. ...While we claim that the healthcare system serves the patient and that the care provided is patient-centred, we do not even measure the treatment outcomes that matter to patients. Without measuring these, we do not know whether the treatment provided value to the patients, i.e. what were the benefits of the treatment relative to the costs. Slovenian payment models do not reimburse the providers for created patient-relevant value, but rather for the planned number of services or cases based on average incurred costs. It is thus time to digitalise the system, and start collecting, curating and analysing the relevant data to ensure that all stakeholders within the healthcare system co-deliver value to patients. While relevant stakeholders highlight notable challenges of implementing value-based healthcare in Slovenia, these are far from insurmountable.
The UNCTAD Handbook of Statistics was first launched in 1967. Over the past 50 years, the handbook has evolved to incorporate new statistics and ensure that readers have access to the best possible ...information available. The 2017 edition of the Handbook continues in this tradition of excellence and innovation. On the 50th anniversary of the first UNCTAD Handbook of Statistics, we are proud to launch our new and updated version. This new presentation style is designed to integrate the detailed and lengthy statistical time-series available on our UNCTADstat data center with summary tables, state-of-the-art charts, maps and modern infographics.
Država lahko z raznimi spodbudami povečuje vključenost odraslih (vseh odraslih ali izbranih ciljnih skupin) v izobra- ževanje. Spodbujanje vključenosti odraslih v izobraževanje omenjajo tudi domači ...in mednarodni strateški dokumenti. Prenovljeni strateški okvir na področju izobraževanja in usposabljanja postavlja v ospredje povečanje vključenosti niz- ko izobraženih v izobraževanje. V Sloveniji je vključenost odraslih v izobraževanje na razmeroma visoki stopnji, vendar pa so v vključenosti velike razlike glede na starost in izobrazbo udeležencev. V izbranih državah EU (Finska, Švedska, Združeno kraljestvo, Nizozemska, Avstrija in Belgija) so odraslim na voljo različne oblike materialnih spodbud za izobraževanje (brezplačno izobraževanje, štipendije, denarni dodatki, posojilo za izobraževanje, davčne olajšave, indi- vidualni izobraževalni računi, vavčerji, čeki za izobraževanje). Avstrija, Finska in Belgija imajo tudi podrobno urejen izobraževalni dopust. V Sloveniji bi bilo treba krepiti materialne spodbude odraslim za izobraževanje, nekatere od njih pa preoblikovati. Sprejeti bi bilo treba tudi novo resolucijo o nacionalnem programu izobraževanja odraslih.
