2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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)

7. The uses of health goods and services

8. System of Health Accounts 2011
3 analytical interfaces
Health consumer
breakdown of expenditure according to disease, age, gender, region and SES
Provision
cost structures (Factors of provision) and separate treatment of capital formation
Financing
the financing arrangements (HF), the institutional units (FA) and the revenue raising mechanisms (FS).

9. Current health expenditure and gross capital formation
Current expenditure on health:
final consumption expenditure of resident units on health care goods and services
Gross fixed capital formation:
total value of the assets that health providers have acquired during the accounting period and that are used
repeatedly or continuously for more than one year in the provision of health services

10. Joint data collection 2011 Results - Indicators

Private HE components analysis

Health Expenditure and Financing
The share of health spending in GDP is 4.5% in Asia compared to 9.6% in OECD countries.
The share of public spending in total health spending is much lower in Asia compared to OECD countries: 62% vs. 72% respectively.

20. HaG – Asia/Pacific 2012 (3)
The growth rate in per capita health spending in real terms was 5.6% per year in Asia, on average between , higher than the 4% observed across OECD countries. The growth rate for China, Viet Nam and the Republic of Korea was even more rapid – almost twice the average rate for the region.

23. HaG – Asia/Pacific 2012 (4)
The share of public spending decreased in Mongolia, Singapore and the Philippines, while it increased in Thailand, China, Indonesia, Cambodia and Nepal.
A large part of private health spending is out-of-pocket.
