OECD Indicators

image of Health at a Glance 2021

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 health care, and health 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 the health impact of COVID-19 in OECD countries, including deaths and illness caused by the virus, adverse effects on access and quality of care, and the growing burden of mental ill-health.

People‑centredness of ambulatory care

Given the importance of incorporating people’s voices into the development of health systems and improving quality of care, national efforts to develop and monitor patient-reported measures have been intensified in recent years. In many countries, specific organisations have been established or existing institutions have been identified and made responsible for measuring and reporting patient experiences of health care. This has frequently resulted in regular collection of patient experience data and standardised procedures for analysis and reporting.
