DHCPR
The first national report on the performance of the Dutch health care system, Its focus is on quality, access and costs in 2004. link
The Dutch Health Care Performance Report (DHCPR) presents a broad picture based on 125 indicators. Where possible, comparisons in time and between countries are presented. The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport has commissioned the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment to produce the DHCPR every two years.
The quality of care is internationally above average in many respects. However, there is still much room for improvement with respect to the effectiveness of prevention and care, patient safety, coordination of care and integrated care.
On productivity, the Dutch evaluation says candidly that there is no indication of any strong improvement in the decade to 2004, that hospital productivity has been failing to match the rest of the economy, and that the rate of patient discharge is lower than that in neighbouring countries. The system may be cushioned, the report acknowledges, by what it calls "proverbial Dutch thrift" - people's relatively limited use of medication, less frequent visits to the GP, and low (indeed, falling) rate of hospital referral.
