Comparative analysis of US health care



Comparative analysis of US health care

Introduction

There is no second opinion to the idea that USA spends more than any other country for the matters relating to health but in contrast the outcomes are not that good and because of this it is often argued that other health systems are superior due to the good outcomes and because they avoid higher administrative costs.Though no one is ever turned down for the inability of paying still around 18000 people die every year in USA because of no insurance or because of being bankrupted of medical debts. Still with the figurative results of different universal health survey groups these statements are unsettled or might even be false (depending on counter arguments).

All the developed countries are facing three inexorable problems: Inadequate quality, growing costs and partial access to care but there is much analysis published which tells that other countries have found much more efficient solution to these problems.

National and international health care policy

Organizations related to global health policies and procedures based on their research on developed countries health systems report that there are more than 1200 health systems found in these more than thirty countries. This analysis is based on data from Canada, Norway, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Australia, Sweden, France ,Switzerland Denmark and the united states and it shows that the health spending and the intensity of the health care issues is topped by the US over other countries (Kelley and Hurst, 2006). US physicians and hospital beds are fewer and there are comparatively lower hospital and physician visits than other countries. Prices, prescription drug utilization and expenditure over medicine all emerge to be highest in the U.S. Same is the case with consumption,supplies and prices of diagnostic scans.Quality measures taken by US are variable on the basis of performance but still ranksup in the order when it comes to five year cancer survival programs. It's doing all right on `in hospital case specific` mortality, and is doing poor on admissions in hospital for amputations and chronic conditions due to diabetes. Research suggestscrossnational learning might improve health system performance.

Comparison

Economists have long known that the statistics on health care comparison are twisted and tweaked and have potential errors in them, knowing that might make comparisons a bit less important still data from international comparisons of health care systems can make the general public aware of what level of health care are they receiving and what can they opt for. It provides a yard stick on the basis of which the shortcoming of the nation's health care can be taken care of and the overall performance could be improved. The idea of adoption of the health care system in order to avail a reasonable chance of improving US health care methods was widely rejected when the California Kaiser Permanente and British national health service were compared (based on its cost effectiveness) it was found that the Kaiser delivers much convenient primary care with detail and also ...
