Funding from the Estonian Health Insurance Fund comprises the largest share, namely 67% of all the health care providers’ revenues in 2017. The revenues from individuals were 18% larger than in 2016 mostly due to payments for services of dental care providers. The increase in total revenue outpaced the increase in costs, therefore the health care providers closed the financial year with a positive result. The net gain of health care providers in 2017 was almost 65 million euros. The hospitals generated the largest gain (25 million euros) which is 2.5 times more than a year earlier. 14% of health care providers ended the year with loss.

Drug treatment, 2017
07 NOVEMBER 2018
Data for drug treatment in 2017 were published in the Health Statistics and Health Research Database.
Drug treatment database is anonymous national database which collects the case-based data of the drug treatment patients. The database was established in 2008. Database contains the data of patients treatment, substances, socio-economic status and riskbehaviour.
Data of Drug treatment database from recent years should be taken with reservations because due to outdated IT-system which have caused several interruptions on database work. That has decreased the number of data providers and due to that the number of records. Besides that, unpersonalized data has not high enough data quality and efficiency to motivate providing data. That has resulted with less records year by year. In coming years there are plans to personalize Drug treatment database and upgrade the IT-system of the database. That will increase the data quality and hopefully raises the interest to providing the data by treatment centres.
