After a chapter describing the methods used, this report starts with presenting context information on SMT in Slovenia, including a description of the background and the current organization of SMT. Its rationale, aims, and the available evidence of effectiveness of SMT are briefly reviewed. We also included a qualitative force field analysis that gives an impression of the forces and interests influencing policy choices on SMT.

The report continues with an assessment of the quality of SMT, based on several core items from the literature. Here we also included an analysis on patient satisfaction. Next, the results are presented of an indicative inventory of the efficiency of SMT. This was done by assessing the funds and expenditures, aspects of SMT management and some organizational issues. For a broader view on SMT, a selection of data from reference countries is briefly presented to enable a rough comparison between the Slovene situation, and that in four other EU countries.
