The responsibilities of the Catalan health care system
· The Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS) is responsible for determining health policies, ensuring the sustainability of the system and verifying the levels of quality.
· CatSalut is responsible for establishing service policies in accordance with the health policies of the DHSS, determining the system of provisions, purchases and assessing results.
· The service providers are the organisations CatSalut contracts to provide services that have to guarantee the people they cover in accordance with the DHSS's health policy. The service providers are responsible for the quality of the services they provide.
· The citizens of Catalonia, who are covered by CatSalut and make up the service providers' customers, are also the owners of the public health care system. In a comprehensive health care system like ours, the citizens are also considered to be responsible for their health.
They should fulfil their responsibilities.
In order to fulfil their responsibilities, the parties involved in the system use different tools:
· The DHSS prepares the Health Plan, is responsible for the health care budget and the accreditation of providers.
· CatSalut works with different tools such as the services plan, investment plan, the list of provisions (service portfolio/health map), the list of resources, contracting and the system of assessment.
· The service providers follow the strategic and operating plans in order to meet their commitments to CatSalut and the DHSS and to offer quality services to their clients.
· Citizens have systems of participation developed to make the public system work for them and also have a bill of rights and obligations.
