Austria and the United States have very different healthcare systems with Austria following a social insurance model and the United States following an out of pocket model however;gross domestic product on healthcare expenditures. There is a current gap in literature on how the United States and Austrian healthcare systems comparatively impact patient outcomes, especially when considering the mediating effects of societal norms such as exercise and mental self-care habits. The information presented could benefit the United States healthcare system if they adopted Austria's model, which expands access, and the Austrian healthcare system regulators could look to American standards of communication and care coordination to improve their healthcare system overall.
奥地利和美国的医疗体系非常不同,奥地利采用社会保险模式,而美国采用自费模式;然而,在医疗支出方面,国内生产总值存在差距。目前,关于美国和奥地利的医疗体系如何对比影响患者的结果,文献中存在差距,特别是在考虑到社会规范(如运动和精神自我保健习惯)的调解作用时。如果美国采用奥地利的模式(该模式扩大了医疗服务的覆盖范围),那么所提供的信息可能会使美国的医疗体系受益,而奥地利的医疗体系监管机构也可以借鉴美国的沟通和护理协调标准来改善其整体医疗体系。
