• Aim is to benchmark the efforts of countries to
manage and measure health care quality and
provide advice on reforms for improvement
• Latest reviews:
Sweden (December 2013)
Norway (May 2014)
Czech Republic (June 2014)
• Upcoming reviews: Turkey, Italy, Australia,
Japan, Portugal and UK

Quality - System level
Quality Reviews: Raising Standards

Quality: disease level - Report on CVD
• Report to be published early next year
• Despite the success, rising levels of obesity and diabetes are threatening prospects for further gains.
• Ageing population will lead to greater demand and complexity of health care needs.
• Greater resources improves quality of CVD and diabetes care
– Gains are not automatic and depends on how resources are allocated and managed
– Performance is linked to access to care, quality of care initiatives and payment systems
• Substantial scope for further improvements along the entire pathway of CVD and diabetes care remain
• Strengthening lifestyle policies, primary care (prevention/long term care) and acute care

• Support countries to make better use of existing data
to measure and improve the quality of health care
• Advisory panel of experts in law, privacy regulation,
IT, health policy, statistics, research and civil society.
• 8 high-level recommendations and practical examples
to help countries strengthen health data governance
to enable data to be used safely.
• Report and workshop on data governance in May
2015
Quality: Health data infrastructure
Contact: Jillian Oderkirk (HD)

• Objectives of the project: 1. Document geographic variations in health care
not only across countries but also within countries
2. Analyse possible causes of medical practice variations
3. Explore policy options to reduce unwarranted variations and improve
resource allocation
• Focused on hospital medical admissions and a
selected set of diagnostic and surgical procedures
• 13 countries participated
Final report launched at a conference in Berlin on
15-16 September 2014
Value for money: Geographic

• Two main streams of work:
1. Measuring coverage: – Paper on cot-sharing by function of care and mechanisms to protect
people from high copayments to be published before the end of this year as Health Working Paper.
2. Benefit basket: what is paid or not by public/collective systems?
– A new paper will examine how countries define the benefit package and make decisions for coverage of borderline cases.
– It will include a few case studies.
– Draft report to be discussed at the December Health Committee.

• Joint Senior Budget Officials and Health Committee network
• Key topics: – OECD survey of budget officials : Budgeting for health, practices
and challenges.
– Can we speak about a ‘post-crisis’ fiscal outlook for health spending?
– User charges and co-payments: how useful and how dangerous?
– Controlling health care expenditure in decentralised environments.
– Financing universal health care: the need for close co-operation between health and budget Ministries.
– The challenges of using open data in health policy.

Health Workforce
• Three main streams of work:
– Changes in domestic education and training policies for
doctors and nurses
– Recent trends in health workforce migration
– Extent of skills mismatch in health sector (with possible follow-
up work to improve data and evidence for policy evaluation)
• Co-operation with other international organisations
– EC (Action Plan, Joint Action on Health Workforce Planning
and Forecasting)
– WHO (Health Workforce Department, Headquarters)
