ABSTRACT
At present, most physician managers are more interested in acquiring new computer-based technology and increasing remuneration from their independent primary care practices instead of changing system flaws, that is, high level of corruption, entrenched bureaucracy, distrust of outside influence on healthcare system management, and a disregard for patient input regarding the determination of their own care [4]. The country also needs to push ahead with efforts to foster the creation of a knowledge economy as a way of increasing Lithuania’s global competitiveness [2].
