Healthcare system overhaul: hospital recovery and new patient rules

The act introduces new rules for restructuring indebted public hospitals, enables local governments to form associations for managing medical facilities, and changes referral procedures to specialists. The provisions aim to streamline the healthcare system and secure access to medical services.
Key points
Hospitals with significant financial losses must prepare a 3-year recovery program with restructuring and consolidation plans.
Local governments can create associations to jointly manage hospitals, with voting rights weighted by assets and revenues of facilities.
Patients can now get referrals to ophthalmologists from optometrists, not only from family doctors.
Children's hospitals may limit night and holiday care exclusively to patients under 18 years old.
The Agency for Health Technology Assessment gains access to detailed data on hospitals in recovery programs.
