Abstract

OECD health-care systems confront the dual challenge of containing costs and maximising the health of their populations.

The paper begins by developing a framework for classifying the range of indicators that have been put forward to measure health outcomes.

Le rapport montre également dans ce cadre, l’intérêt potentiel de différents indicateurs ...
