The primary healthcare in Poland is based on the family medicine. It is the first, and, as a consequence, materially significant stage of contact between a patient and the healthcare system. So, setting the primary healthcare correctly in the system as well as specifying its tasks and organization rules is a key element. The terms of the managed care and the integrated care are linked strictly to this issue. They translate directly into the patient treatment process and into coordination among healthcare units in this respect. It should be stated that these terms simply determine the organization of the whole healthcare system, translating into improvement of quality and rationalization of costs of provided medical services. This paper outlines the organization and the extent of activities of the primary healthcare under the Primary Healthcare Act of 27 October 2017, at the primary healthcare seen from the angle of these two key terms, i.e. the managed care and the integrated care.
