Data Collection Methods
Hospital productivity-statistics describe changes in the volume of hospital outputs and total inputs as well as changes in the total productivity of hospitals calculated on the basis of the output and input data. Two kinds of indicators are used for the outputs: episode and DRG period of care. In hospital benchmarking, the data include somatic specialised health services provided by the public sector. The regional comparison also includes data on inpatient services and day surgery provided by the private sector. Data are published at the level of regions, providers and specialities.
