PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AN IMPORTANT CONCEPT IN ASSESSING WHETHER A HEALTH SYSTEM HAS ACHIEVED ITS GOALS

Performance measurement concerns the effectiveness of services provided by a health care system and the system’s achievements in meeting the expectations of customers and patients. Performance measurement includes quality assessments, system resources and financial features that reflect the impact of health care service providers ‘ activities. Performance data can be used to guide consumer preferences, satisfy needs, and define best practices and priorities for development.

International comparisons of Health System data have been used for years to provide information on health policy discussions (Anderson, Hussey 2001). Health care decision makers are trying to improve performance by cutting spending while maintaining improvements in quality and access to service. International differences between health care systems can provide important lessons in finding answers to these difficult issues. Structural differences in health care delivery can be attributed to differences in performance (Anell, Willis 2000). The main purpose of assessing health system performance is to provide information to countries to improve the quality and performance of their own health systems.

Two aspects of health system performance measurement are important: first, identify shortcomings in the health care system and funding of the justice, to respond to the expectations of the people of countries with similar income levels and achieve similar levels on issues such as health, helps to explain why when they fail; and secondly, the health care system is assessed according to the year of the indicators that provides. Both of these benefits, if specific health system policies (including finance and presentation mechanisms), the specific socio-economic conditions, especially if they differ, can provide a basis for this policy in the future to verify or reject.

There are huge differences in countries ‘ health status, as well as income and education levels. Some of these differences are due to the performance of the health care system. Planning and content of Health Systems, Health Systems Performance Measurement and World Health Organization approach 9
and differences in management turn into differences created by socially valuable outcomes, such as improving health, responding to people’s expectations, or fairness in finance. Decision makers at all levels need to measure changes in the performance of the health system, identify factors affecting this performance, and identify policies that will lead to better results with a change in current conditions. The performance of sub-components of the system – such as regions within the country or public health services-are also issues that need to be measured. Meaningful and comparable information on health system performance and key factors that explain performance changes can support the scientific foundations of health policies at national and international levels. For evaluating health system performance, a credible and ready-to-use model is crucial for the work of governments and development organizations.

The performance of Health Systems has been a major problem for policymakers for years. Most countries have recently been introduced to reforms in the health sector that have taken improving performance as a clear goal (Tandon et al. 2000). Financing reforms (for example, social health insurance contributions and user), service provision (e.g., managed care-managed care-autonomous hospitals), administration (e.g., the regulation of private sector health-related legal regulations) and resource development (e.g., staff re-training) tended (Evans et al. 2001). There is extensive literature on the recent debate about how performance can be best measured so that reforms in the health sector and the effects of reforms can be assessed. Measuring performance, on the other hand, requires a clear model that determines the goals of a health system, where outputs can be evaluated and performance can be measured.

Many models have been proposed for measuring health system performance, and these are indicators of the importance given to measuring performance. These models are all a rich mix of different ideas and methods. Models for measuring health system performance often make two types of errors. One section tries to measure all of the very different and comprehensive topics. Different models, for example, with health and health inequalities, scope, equitable funding, quality, and customer satisfaction, resource allocation efficiency, technical efficiency, cost restrictions, political and financial about acceptability aims Some other models, on the other hand, act on the idea that indicators are easy and convenient, and accept a system of performance evaluation that continues the conceptual and technical shortcomings of existing measurements. In fact, both models are unsatisfactory for a comprehensive and meaningful assessment of health system performance. A proper and consistent model should reveal what health systems are for. The actual goals of health systems must be clearly stated, these goals must be measured, and the key factors affecting performance and the general view of performance must be investigated. An important application of this model was made in the World Health Organization’s 2000 report, and the statistical octet of the report provided information on health system performance for each country. (Murray, Frank 2000; Murray, Frank 2000a).
