Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development The OECD provides a setting where Governments compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and co-ordinate domestic and international policies. For more than 40 years, the OECD has been one of the world’s largest and more reliable sources of comparable statistics

System of Health Accounts Background (1) The System of Health Accounts: proposes an integrated system of comprehensive and internationally comparable accounts provides a uniform framework of basic accounting rules and a set of standard tables for reporting health expenditure data

System of Health Accounts Background (2) The goal of the collaboration between OECD, EUROSTAT and WHO is to reduce the burden of data collection for the national authorities responsible for the provision of statistical information This joint effort also increases the use of international standards and definitions

Joint Health Accounts Questionnaire Methods In 2005 the 3 organisations agreed to intensify their collaborative actions through a joint data collection based on: a functional classification of health care (HC) a classification of health care financing (HF) a classification of health care providers (HP) a classification of financing sources (FS) a classification of resources (RC)
