National governments have learned  to look across national borders in order to improve their policy  systems, as in the case of health care, the subject of this book.  There is a need to compare policy results, and therefore international  comparison of statistical data is of great importance. \u003cbr\u003e  For decades, international organisations like OECD and WHO have  collected and distributed statistical information of member states in  order to describe developments within these countries. However,  comparability across countries has always been problematic. The task  of international comparison of statistical data has only reluctantly  been adopted due to difficulties caused by differences in definition  and methods of data collection. \u003cbr\u003e  In this book a method is presented for the advancement of  international comparison of health care. Starting points are the  determination of the boundaries of national health care systems and  the activities that take place within these boundaries. \u003cbr\u003e  This book is meant for all those working in the international health  care field or interested in international comparison, who want to be  aware of the pitfalls of international comparison and who want to  learn, from the described experiences, how to solve problems of  comparability.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792357155\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4675-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x203cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 302\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541797236876,"sku":"9780792357155","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792357155.jpg?v=1770818731","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792357155","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
