Modelos de prestación de servicios sanitarios en el medio rural español

Resumen

In the best tradition of studies dedicated to comparing different regulation options, this analysis aims to provide the basic structuring elements of the different health systems in Spain. With the appropriate level of legal abstraction, but without renouncing analytical traces of notorious singularity, it will revisit the primary conditioning factor given by the planning-related variants, and address the taxonomical elements related to the levels of dispersion and population, as well as basic health organisational decisions such as the degrees of territorial decentralisation and collaboration with the private sector. This panorama will not only serve to lay the foundations on which to built the models of health care provision but will also have linked to footnote references of interest for any further reflection.
