OECD - Health Care Quality Indicators Project

www.oecd.org/document/...html

HCQI builds on the efforts of several OECD countries and two international collaborations in developing indicators of health care quality at the national level.

During 2004 the project was in the process of collecting preliminary data, and examining its international comparability, for an initial set of 17 indicators. It is hoped that a research report will be published in 2005.

5 technical papers were released containing the recommendations of 5 Expert Panels, respectively, on additional indicators in 5 priority areas.
