Abstract

Several countries and organizations introduce their conceptual frameworks for health system performance assessment (HSPA) in the last twenty years. Quality of health care is a core component used for health system performance assessment (HSPA). It is measured through six dimensions –effectiveness, safety, patient-centredness, appropriateness, and continuity of care. Dimension ?continuity of care?consists of indicators for chronic conditions likecancer, diabetes, psychiatric disorders, etc. It gives information for the degree of coordination among all levels of the health system.
