Na potrebu prepracovania katalógu upozorňoval Úrad pre dohľad nad zdravotnou starostlivosťou ešte v roku 2023
A new catalogue of outpatient services will begin pilot testing in April. Initially planned for October, the project was delayed to secure additional financial resources. The catalogue aims to assess the duration and actual need of healthcare services based on patients' health conditions. The pilot will run for six months, ending in September, after which findings will be evaluated. The financial resources required for the project will be included in the 2025 budget allocation for outpatient healthcare. Stakeholders in the outpatient sector are supporting the initiative.
