Özet:

The Organizational Ecology Theory examines how the formation, development, change, decrease and deaths of organized populations occur in time. The aim of this study is to study the impact of changes in the Turkish health system on the intensity of the hospital population, from the point of view of the organizational ecology theory. The number of hospitals, according to the Ministry of Health, was assessed in periods. The number of hospitals in terms of ownership; the Ministry of Health has studied hospitals, university hospitals, private hospitals, other hospitals and in total. The data of the study is provided by the Ministry of Health; Health Statistics Years and Bed Treatment Institutions Statistics Years. Research findings have shown that public health policies have a determining impact on the number of hospitals. The influence of policies in public hospitals is more direct and faster; in private hospitals, this influence has been more indirectly influenced by the country’s economic and other policies. The study found that the intensity of the hospital population in Turkey has tended to balance since 2010. However, the spread of urban hospitals is expected to change this balance by affecting the Ministry of Health, the private and therefore the total hospital population.
