Brief overview of:
Expenditures on health services (National health care accounts) (macroeconomic)
Data quality
Break partly in 1998. International comparable data is available from 2005 onwards (System of Health Accounts definitions and scope available). The previous years, 1998-2004, will be adjusted in the near future to become internationally comparable.
Consistent time series from 1998 onward; older series have been adjusted from 1972 onwards, but are less detailed.
Applicability
Strengths:
The data source provides information about complete health and social care coverage. It is the basis for medium term forecasts on healthcare of the CPB (official economic forecasts) and is the basis for the Cost-of-Illness studies of RIVM (breakdown also to population classes!).
Weaknesses:
The dataset provides only expenditure data and no cost data, as well as no data for pharmaceutical and medical equipment industries, given the methodology of the System of Health Accounts.
