    Blatnik, Patricia ; Novak, Matjaž, 1979-
    The article discusses the case study analysis of economic efficiency of health service processes in the context of the so-called day hospital. The day hospital model is the result of gradual ... development. Its evolutionary background takes shape in health systems, typical for developed Western countries. This framework is a popular approach towards increasing economic efficiency of hospitals. However, regarding reference literature, we can see that the topic of economic efficiency in healthcare industry offers a huge amount of references, whereas literature on economic efficiency of day hospitals offers only few articles and case studies. The presented case study is performed on the case of the Izola General Hospital, Slovenia. We simulate economic effects for surgery department. From the empirical analysis we can conclude that, in terms of economic efficiency, the performance of the day hospital is better than classical hospital framework.
