Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OCED) Health Data* (2017 template)
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
The purpose of this data collection is to provide a comprehensive source of comparable statistics on health and health systems across OECD countries. It is an essential tool for health researchers and policy-makers, the private sector and the academic community, to carry out comparative analyses and draw lessons from international comparisons of diverse healthcare systems.
Thirty-five member states of the OECD.
OECD Health Data, maintained by the OECD, enables analyses and lessons to be drawn from comparisons of the healthcare systems of the 35 member states.
Health status; health risk factors; healthcare resources and utilisation of health services; long-term care resources and utilisation; quality of care; health expenditure and health financing; pharmaceutical markets and non-medical determinants of health.
Production of OECD health data is by contribution from national health data correspondents (i.e. for Ireland the Department of Health) and health accounts experts (for Ireland the CSO) in the OECD member states. In addition to above, data is transmitted annually to Eurostat, OECD and the WHO by means of the ‘Joint Data Collection on non-Monetary Health Care Statistics’. This joint data collection is a harmonised approach developed by Eurostat, OECD and WHO in order to reduce the data collection burden on countries.
On a continual basis.
