Özet:

Associated with the market-oriented alterations of the government's role within economy following 1980s, government institutions and personnel have also had a change in the same direction and reforms were made in different areas in most countries. In this context, one of the reform studies carried out in Turkey is the Health Transformation Program. Through the Health Transformation Program (HTP), the field of health has been completely revised and different applications have been implemented in terms of organizational structure, human resources and financial resources, service delivery methods and personnel regime. One of these application is the contractual management model for the managers of provincial health institutions, which is regulated by the Decree-Law (KHK) on the Organization and Duties of the Ministry of Health and Affiliated Institutions, dated 02/11/2011 and numbered 663, under the guidance of the HTP. Thanks to the adopted application of contractual management, career perception of the Ministry of Health has undergone a change. Although scientific studies have been carried out on Decree Law No. 663 in Turkey, there are hardly any studies on the concept and practice of contracted management in the health system. In this study, the place and application of contractual management, which is an important step in the professionalization of health management, in the diversity of health employment has been evaluated by reviewing the literature and legislation.
