-Compare and contrast the ways in which the performance is measured nationally and internationally;
-Based on your review of the literature, what additional indicators could be included to measure the performance of the Australian healthcare system.
Method:
-Access recent peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed literature.
-Collect evidence that enables you to compare how health system performance is measured in Australia and how it is measured in other nations.
-Find out the indicators used to measure the performance of the Australian healthcare system.
-Find out the indicators used by the OECD to measure the performance of the Australian healthcare system.
-Compare and contrast the ways in which the performance is measured nationally (and internationally).
-Based on your review of the literature, what additional indicators could be included to measure the performance of the Australian healthcare system.
