Working Hours across Physician Specialties in Croatia – Key Findings and Implications

We use anonymized data of medical doctor’s workload in public health sector institutions in Croatia in 2016. The data were obtained from the Financial Agency (Fina) i.e. centralized payroll accounting (CPA) for the public sector and budget beneficiaries in Croatia. Our sample consists of 11, 584 medical doctor subjects or practicing physicians (medical specialist, specializing doctors, trainee doctor/intern and doctors without specialization) who were registered in the CAP system within 2016, and who worked in the public health system either in full or part time job hours. CAP data reflect only one dimension of the workload of medical doctors in Croatian public health system, and the second dimension is in the form of natural data that originate in the database of Croatian Health Insurance Fund (CHIF). For the purpose of this paper, we use the natural indicators for primary health care doctors (family doctors, paediatricians and gynaecologists) ; precisely the average number of enrolled patients, the average daily number of patients, monthly number of procedures and treatments, and age structure of insureds.
