Abstract

The following sections are included:An overview of likely productivity issues can be obtained by comparing resources needed with resources actually used.Too few resources are likely to result in poor quality of care (e.g., medicine shortages and resultant out-of-pocket costs for patients who have to buy the missing medicines in the private sector).The allocation or use of too many resources represents a waste of those resources.An imbalance of resources — e.g., too many staff but too few drugs — can represent both waste and poor quality of care.
