The analysis has been using the data from the survey “Social Diagnosis” carried out in 2013, in Poland. The research concentrates on subjective measures, used to assess the population’s state of health, based both on mortality and disability studies, while disability is defined as reduced ability to carry out daily activities. The authors have evaluated the health status of the elderly in Poland in 2013, using measures of health function (ADL) and activity restrictions (IADL). The results show, that functional health of older people in Poland is significantly correlated with age and sex of respondents. The interpretation and the conceptualization of desirable directions of changes should lead to active life style’s promoting, adjusted, accordingly, to health state and age. It also provides important information for social care managers, by defining needed form of interventions. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">197-205</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agnieszka Bem</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paulina Ucieklak-Jeż</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paweł Prędkiewicz</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">INCOME PER BED AS A DETERMINANT OF HOSPITAL’S FINANCIAL LIQUIDITY</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Management in the 21st Century</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">financial conditions</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Financial Liquidity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">financial management</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">September/2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2014/450-1410981539.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hospitals’ financial condition is very important, in terms of availability and quality of inpatient health care services. Inpatient’s services consume, in Poland, an important part (about 50%) of National Health Fund resources, but financial situation of hospitals is difficult and many hospitals report problems with liquidity and solvency. The purpose of this research is to study the relationship between the intensity of care, measured by the annual income per bed, and the static liquidity ratios (current ratio and quick ratio). The research has been conducted on the sample of 138 Polish hospitals, using data covering the period 2009-2011. In order to test research hypotheses, statistical tools have been used (T-Student distribution). The study has shown, that, during analyzed period, liquidity ratios have lowered and the level of financial liquidity is, in case of Polish hospitals, lower than recommended in the literature. The authors also confirmed the existence of the relationship between annual income per bed and liquidity ratios. However, the most important finding is that the relationship between the hospital’s income per bed and financial liquidity ratios is positive only up to a certain level, which has been estimated at about 60,000-70,000 EUR per bed. Above this level further increase in income per bed decreases liquidity ratios. This finding seems to be extremely important for health care managers, which usually strive for the income maximization. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">124-131</style></section></record></records></xml>
