Cross-Country Comparisons of Health Care Systems

Abstract

Because of the differences between healthcare systems across the globe, the ability to critique the positives and negatives of each system can be a daunting task. To diagnose the differences between healthcare systems, a better method of classification needs to be developed so that these differences can be more easily understood.  This presentation explores a new method of healthcare system classification and applies this classification system to nations alongside statistics that highlight system differences within their categories.
