Additionally, according to the Polish law, the non-public hospitals group includes both the private owned hospitals, as well as those owned by the local governments units, but run in a form of companies (mainly limited liability and joint stock companies). The private hospitals functioning in Malopolska region are usually small units, specialized in narrow disciplines – mainly: gynaecology and obstetrics, surgery, nefrology (dialysis units), and rehabilitation.

The aim of this article is to present the basic characteristics of the U.S. hospital sector (with an emphasis on structure, utilization level and the system of financing) as well as its current challenges and reform trends. Hospitals in the U.S. constitute a complicated and heterogeneous subsystem. There are diverse types of hospitals, functioning independently or in networks, developing innovative care models and using a multiple payer structure. The recent health care reform has created new organizational and financial challenges on both the macro and micro levels.

Additional challenge results from a strong public pressure for hospital’s price transparency.
