  • Qualitative assessment of the impact of these measures on patient care.

    • Main Results:

    • Healthcare facilities are undergoing significant restructuring to manage budget cuts.
    • New management systems like multiskilling and total quality management are being adopted.
    • While cost-saving measures are effective financially, they pose a considerable risk to the quality of patient care.

    Conclusions:
