The
Health Systems in Transition (HiT) series provide detailed descriptions of
health systems in the countries of the
WHO European Region as well as some additional
OECD countries. An
individual health system
review (HiT) examines the specific approach to the
organization, financing and delivery of
health services in a particular country and the
role of the main actors in the
health system. It describes the institutional framework, process, content, and implementation of
health and
health care policies. HiTs also look at reforms in progress or under development and make an assessment of the
health system based on stated objectives and outcomes with
respect to various dimensions (
health status,
equity, quality,
efficiency,
accountability).
