HOW DATA CAN
DRIVE
IMPROVEMENTS IN
HEALTH SYSTEMS
Mark Pearson
Head, OECD Health Division
Japanese Health Economics Association
21 July, 2012
Structure of my talk
1. A cautionary tale: don’t ask me which
health system is ‘the best’
2. Getting better international measures of
health inputs
3. Getting better international measures of
health outputs
4. Prices and volumes of activity

What do we currently spend on health?
2. BETTER INTERNATIONAL
MEASURES OF INPUTS
Three dimensions of health accounting
Healthcare
Consumption
What types of health
goods and services are
consumed?
SHA
Accounting
Framework
Who pays?
Health
Financing
Source: Adapted from IHAT for SHA 2011
Who
provides the
service?
Service
Provision
SHA 2011: What is new and improved?
• Refined boundary setting
• Continuity facilitated:
– Functions, Providers, Financing
• New health care
classifications:
– Factors of provision
– Financing revenues
• Introduction of capital
classification
– Separate reporting for current
and capital
• Consistent labelling and
categories introduced:
– Link to intl. standards SNA 2008, provider
classifications (e.g. ISIC)
– Larger compatibility
between functions of care
and providers
– Closer correspondence to
financing “functions” of
revenue raising, pooling
and purchasing
