International comparison of health system performance has become
increasingly popular, made possible by the rapidly expanding
availability of health data. It has become one of the most
important levers for prompting health system reform. Yet, as the
demand for transparency and accountability in healthcare increases,
so too does the need to compare data from different health systems
both accurately and meaningfully.
This timely and authoritative book offers an important summary
of the current developments in health system performance
comparison. It summarises the current state of efforts to compare
systems, and identifies and explores the practical and conceptual
challenges that occur. It discusses data and methodological
challenges, as well as broader issues such as the interface between
evidence and practice.
The book draws out the priorities for future work on
performance comparison, in the development of data sources and
measurement instruments, analytic methodology, and assessment of
evidence on performance. It concludes by presenting the key lessons
and future priorities, and in doing so offers a rich source of
material for policy-makers, their analytic advisors, international
agencies, academics and students of health systems.
