Abstract

The absence of healthcare workers from work represents a serious issue within the Slovenian public healthcare system, especially in light of the well-known low standards regarding the numbers of employed personnel. Authors address distinct legal aspects and possibilities of substituting absent workers, especially doctors. They approach the issue mainly from the viewpoint of patients’ rights or rights arising from compulsory health insurance. Next to a brief analysis of the relationship between the Health Insurance Institute of Slovenia and healthcare providers, they also address selected ethical and legal dilemmas concerning doctors’ responsibilities in substitution cases.
