COMPARISONS OF HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS IN THE COUNTRIES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The type of health system and the resources used determine health outcomes. The sample of 31 countries (the European Union (EU-28) plus Iceland, Norway and Switzerland) is clustered according to indicators reflecting these three aspects, as well as standards of living, to discover the extent of the relationships between these factors in these countries. The indicators used to reflect health outcomes are Life expectancy at birth (LE); Healthy life years in absolute value at birth for females (HLYf) and for males (HLY m); and Death rate due to chronic diseases (DR). Concerning healthcare inputs (resources), the indicator used is Current healthcare expenditure (CHE) (percentage of GDP). Two partial expenditure ratios in classification by healthcare financing schemes are also used to reflect prevailing healthcare system models. These are government schemes and compulsory contributory health insurance schemes. Data in two years (2015 and 2016) were used and a hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) applied. The core cluster 2 countries, which are the new member countries, apart from Malta, Cyprus and Slovenia, are the worst performing countries. Cluster 1, containing the core developed countries - Austria, Germany, France, Switzerland and the Benelux countries, was evaluated as the second-best performing cluster in both years, although its average CHE ratios and GDP per capita are the highest. On the other hand, countries, which shifted from cluster 4 to cluster 3 (referred to as cluster 4-3 countries: Iceland, Ireland, Malta, Norway and Sweden) were evaluated as the best performing countries, along with the core cluster 3 countries (Italy and Spain), and Cyprus. The type of healthcare system model does not seem to be a factor that significantly affects performance. The positive relationship between GDP per capita and the CHE ratio can be identified after omitting some outliers (especially Luxembourg). Between these two indicators and the performance in LE and DR the relationship is much more significant than between them and the HLY indicators.
