Health at a Glance 2023
OECD Indicators
Health at a Glance provides a comprehensive set of indicators on population health and health system performance across OECD members and key emerging economies. These cover health status, risk factors for health, access to and quality of healthcare, and health system resources. Analysis draws from the latest comparable official national statistics and other sources.
Alongside indicator-by-indicator analysis, an overview chapter summarises the comparative performance of countries and major trends. This edition also has a special focus on digital health, which measures the digital readiness of OECD countries’ health systems, and outlines what countries need to do accelerate the digital health transformation.

Consultations with doctors
Consultations with primary care doctors are for many people the most frequent contact with health services, and often provide an entry point for subsequent medical treatment. Consultations take place in doctors’ clinics, community health centres, hospital outpatient departments or, in some cases, patients’ own homes. Increasingly, teleconsultations are offered to patients, whereby consultations take place online, often through video calls (OECD, 2023[1]).
