Download or read book Health system performance assessment written by Irene PAPANICOLAS and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ensuring a robust and resilient health system involves policy actions which need to be implemented based on the best available evidence. This requires health systems to be monitored regularly to build on their strengths and to overcome any apparent shortcomings. In order to assist in that process, this volume, a collaboration between the World Health Organization and the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, presents a new framework to support monitoring of health system performance, with a focus on detailed conceptual links between health system functions and overall system goals. This HSPA framework for Universal Health Coverage thus represents a comprehensive attempt to address fundamental questions regarding regular assessment of health systems, including health system boundaries, component elements and outcomes. In this book, each of the health system function chapters outlines the purpose of the function, the sub-functions that enable it to carry out the key activities necessary to fulfil its purpose, as well as the assessment areas and proposed indicative measures to evaluate how well a system performs. The framework will thus assist policy-makers in understanding possible origins or impact of poor performance on a particular health system outcome, triggering more in-depth analysis.

Book excerpt: Increasing health system performance is critical in creating resilient health systems. If health policies are to foster the ability to withstand shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic, they need to focus on the right interventions that strengthen health systems - those that improve performance.1. Assessing the performance of a health system effectively is the first step to improving it. 1.1. This requires a conceptual lens through which to view the health system structures, its inputs and the outputs and outcomes that they feed into.2. The Health System Performance Assessment (HSPA) Framework for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) offers policy-makers a conceptual tool to assess performance effectively. 1.1. It provides a rigorous description of the four health system functions - governance, resource generation, financing and service delivery - and their sub-functions that matter most for the function-level and overall system performance.1.2. It builds on existing tools and frameworks but orients the analysis of health system assessment exercises towards system performance.1.3. It identifies impacts on health system performance and encourages operational focus.3. The HSPA Framework for UHC has real-world applications and helps direct policy action. 1.1. It allows policy-makers to understand how the health system works and how its functions and sub-functions are linked to the "assessment areas" that explain performance.1.2. It provides an explanation of the health system bottlenecks that contribute to specific policy challenges.1.3. This will support efforts to pinpoint the person, group or institution that can and should take responsibility for remedial action and promote accountability.1.4. Its insights into the governance function will help policy-makers to use governance as a lever to achieve health system goals.

Download or read book Assessing Health System Performance Proof of Concept for a HSPA Dashboard of Key Indicators written by OECD and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, jointly developed by the European Observatory, OECD, and WHO Europe, serves as a proof of concept for a Health Systems Performance Assessment (HSPA) dashboard. HSPA is pivotal for health system transformation, providing policymakers with key indicators to identify and address system performance issues. This brief represents a step towards more policy-friendly dashboards, emphasizing the need for a focused set of HSPA indicators aligned with policy goals. The brief highlights the alignment and complementarity of the WHO-Observatory global HSPA framework and OECD's renewed framework, which aid policymakers in navigating health systems with actionable, policy-relevant indicators. These frameworks establish connections between performance indicators, health system functions, and overarching goals, supporting a coherent policy dashboard. Tracer indicators, like workforce, digital health, and service delivery outcomes, are emphasized as crucial for assessing key policy areas. The report underscores the importance of investing in data collection and infrastructure at national and international levels to make HSPA effective. It advocates for continuous improvement and collaboration among major international organizations, including WHO, OECD, EU, and the Observatory, to align methodologies and support informed policy decision-making.

This book was released on 2013-06-16 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Advances in Health Management written by Ubaldo Comite and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-08-23 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The production of healthcare services had been out of the business, organizational, and technological dynamic that continually revolutionized the production of all other goods and services for a long time. Nowadays, this marginality has ceased as the need for healthcare is rising. Healthcare is now at the center of attention influenced by the never-ending demand of medical technology and substantial resource scarcity that imposes substantial organizational and entrepreneurial innovations. One decisive challenge that has emerged from such a situation is the management of healthcare processes, in the broad sense: healthcare professionals are called upon to demonstrate their ability to cope with complex problems because they are characterized in an institutional, ethical, organizational, and economic sense. With its eight chapters in a single segment, this book makes it possible to realize the specific nature of the problem. Its multidimensionality and the original approach are contributed and harmonized by scholars belonging to different disciplines.
