CatSalut introduces a number of business criteria into the management of the public health care system, aimed in all cases at guaranteeing quality health care services.
atSalut chooses to employ different forms of management, eg direct, indirect or joint management to manage and administer services and provisions of the public health care system. This diversity allows us to make headway in incorporating business management mechanisms suitable to the service-provision nature of the health authorities. Different forms of management also allow us to start up new organisational structures aimed at guaranteeing the quality of our services and ensuring greater efficacy and efficiency of the health care system.
The public companies and consortiums have been created in accordance with article 7, section 2 of the LOSC, which allows CatSalut to create or have holdings in entities to manage and execute services and provisions in the public health care system.
The public companies and consortiums assigned to or partly controlled by CatSalut, the Catalan Health Service, are one of its spheres of corporate structure and show that it is possible to introduce business criteria into public health care management.
Public companies
Public companies essentially make autonomous and flexible health care
management possible. They are owned by Generalitat de Catalunya, Catalonia's regional government.

Consortiums
The creation of health consortiums basically makes it possible to meet particular needs involving the organisation and optimisation of resources through the Generalitat's purchase of services and provision of human resources and experience in managing associated companies.
