Abstract
The article provides a brief overview of the current problems of health systems in a number of European countries and measures aimed at solving them. Noting the high level of health systems in these countries, it is also necessary to recognize their expensive cost due to the predominance of inpatient medical care. Almost all health care systems are experiencing staff shortages of varying degrees of severity, difficulties with ensuring equal access to medical care. Understanding the existing problems leads the governments of a number of countries, such as Austria, to formulate the goals they want to achieve in healthcare and monitor them. Among the measures taken, it is worth noting innovations in healthcare financing, the granting of additional powers to inpatient medical organizations, and others.
