Abstract

The notion of performance is associated today with the success of the organization or of a system and is influenced by many factors and variables. To identify what can influence the health system performance, we should understand the significance of the medical performance concept, the general characteristics of European health system and its components. For this paper I used the qualitative research. Through the analysis of documents, i selected and interpreted the information and i found a number of contradictory ideas and situations that may limit getting the medical performance. This contradictory semantic constructions are named the paradoxes of European medical system. This paper is interesting and original in the way that it refers to the specific topic and captures the overall picture of the European health system. The results showed that even though some medical concepts and specific indicators shows utility for medical system and appear to be indispensable, in practice they may cause limits or uncertainties in the ability of getting the desired performance level.
