ECONOMICS OF HEALTHCARE IN NEUROSURGERY: COST EFFICIENCY AND FUNDING ANALYSIS IN THE MODERN HEALTH SYSTEM

Neurosurgery is a highly specialized branch of medicine that incurs exceptionally high costs and requires complex planning and financing strategies. This study investigates the key factors affecting the successful operation of neurosurgical institutions, including the formalization of planning processes, the stability of financing, the efficiency of implementation, staff resistance to planning, and the role of control and evaluation. A global quantitative survey was conducted among neurosurgeons worldwide. The survey included 48 questions divided into thematic sections focusing on planning, implementation, financing, and control of business plans in neurosurgical institutions. The results showed that the formalization of planning processes is prevalent in most neurosurgical institutions, positively impacting business success. Financial stability emerged as a crucial factor in successful plan implementation, while resistance to planning posed a significant obstacle. Institutions that regularly performed control and evaluation of their business plans achieved better results. The formalization of planning, stable financing, detailed control, and resistance management are critical for the successful operation of neurosurgical institutions. These strategies enable more efficient resource management, cost reduction, and high-quality patient care.
