Abstract

The health care system is one of the most
important social systems of each country. That is the
reason for considerable interest among the policy
makers in obtaining information that indicates the
performance of their health care systems. This
information is needed to set up a fundament for
monitoring the progress of the health care system
over time as well as its comparison with other health
care systems. Starting hypothesis of this paper is that
there is a need of public disclosure of health care
systems performance data in order to improve the
accountability in the health care delivery. This would
be of great benefit for the public, for the providers of
health care services, for the health care policy
makers, as well as for the funders of health care
services. In this context, attempt is made to elaborate
the problems encountered in the pursuit to improve
the performance of health care systems. The purpose
is to present the key areas of action directed towards
improving the performance of health care systems
that would have a double benefit: first, it will allow
detection of contributors and noncontributors toward
improving the performance, and second, it will
provide the basis for developing evidence - based
policy aimed at reforming the health care systems.

Keywords: health care, performance measurement,
responsibility.
