Cross-Country Analysis of Efficiency in OECD Health Care Sectors Options for Research / [electronic resource]: Comparer l'efficacité du secteur de la santé entre pays de l'OCDE Options pour des travaux d'analyse Unto Häkkinen and Isabelle Joumard = Comparer l'efficacité du secteur de la santé entre pays de l'OCDE : Options pour des travaux d'analyse / Unto Häkkinen et Isabelle Joumard - Paris : OECD Publishing, 2007. - 38 p. ; 21 x 29.7cm. - OECD Economics Department Working Papers, no.554 18151973 ; . - OECD Economics Department Working Papers, no.554. .
A key policy challenge in most OECD countries is to improve outcomes of the health care system while containing its costs. Benchmarking countries and identifying best practices to enhance public spending cost-effectiveness would, in this regard, be a useful exercise. This paper presents three main options for measuring effectiveness in the health care sector, discusses their pros and cons, including data availability and the possibility of whether these options would allow an analysis of how the institutional setting shapes spending effectiveness.
