Description
The data is provided by OECD (The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) whose mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. OECD’s work is based on continued monitoring of events in member countries as well as outside OECD area, and includes regular projections of short and medium-term economic developments. The OECD Secretariat collects and analyses data, after which committees discuss policy regarding this information, the Council makes decisions, and then governments implement recommendations. The OECD Health Datasets offers the most comprehensive source of comparable statistics on health and health systems across OECD countries. It is an essential tool to carry out comparative analyses and draw lessons from international comparisons of diverse health systems.
Capturing the patients’ perspective of health care is becoming increasingly important as health systems strive to be more responsive to the needs of the people using their services. The HCQI (Health Care Quality Indicators) project has identified measurement of patient experiences as a priority for indicator development and quality improvement. To explore the possibilities for cross-national comparison of patient experiences, the OECD commissioned the Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Services to perform a review of the use of national and international surveys to measure patient experiences. Based on this review and the outcomes of further consultation with country experts, academics in the field and key international partners, the HCQI project developed a population-based survey, and undertook the cognitive testing of the questionnaire and a pilot data collection. Patient experience indicators have been collected for international reporting. The HCQI project continues to focus on learning and sharing developments on national systems for measuring and reporting patient experiences including Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and experiences with integrated care and safety and to improve quality of indicators for international reporting. This work moved forward in collaboration with key organizations and country experts, including the Commonwealth Fund and the WHO.
Through the use of a structured expert review process, the HCQI project initially identified rates of avoidable admissions for long-term conditions and rates of lower limb amputation in diabetics as valid, internationally comparable indicators of the quality of primary care. Further indicators on the quality and safety of prescribing in primary care have subsequently been developed.
According to the methodology used to calculate the indicators for all indicators belonging to Avoidable hospital admissions group of indicators were included cases with the specified ICD-10 codes and excluded the following:
– Cases where the patient died in hospital during the admission
– Cases resulting from a transfer from another acute care institution
– Cases with Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Group (MDC) 14 or specified pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium codes in any field
– Cases with MDC 15 or specified Newborn and other neonates codes in any field
– Cases with cystic fibrosis and anomalies of the respiratory system diagnosis code in any field
– Cases that are same day/day only admissions
For prescription related indicators below are detailed methods used to calculate the indicators.
Cholesterol lowering medication for diabetic patients:
– Numerator: number of people who are long-term users of glucose regulating medication (A10B) with concomitant use of ≥ 1 prescription of cholesterol lowering medication (C10); the codes belong to the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System (ATC)
– Denominator: number of people who are long-term users of glucose regulating medication (A10B) in the database
Number of people who are long-term users of glucose regulating medication (A10B) are defined as individuals who use >270 Defined Daily Doses (DDD) of A10B per year.
Antihypertensive medication of first choice for diabetic patients:

– Denominator: number of people who are long-term users of glucose regulating medication (A10B) with concomitant use of ≥ 1 prescription antihypertensives (ATC-C02) or diuretics (ATC C03) or betablockers (ATC C07) or calcium channel blockers (C08) or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) (C09) or C10BX03 or C10BX04, or C10BX06, or C10BX07, or C10BX09, or C10BX10 or C10BX11
Number of people who are long-term users of glucose regulating medication (A10B) are defined as individuals who use >270 Defined Daily Doses (DDD) of A10B per year.
Long-term benzodiazepines or related drugs:

Long-acting benzodiazepines or related drugs:
– Numerator: number of individuals ≥ 65 years of age at 1 January for each year, with ≥ 1 prescription long acting benzodiazepines (N05BA01, N05BA02, N05BA05, N05BA08, N05BA11, N05CD01, N05CD02, N05CD03, N05CD10)
– Denominator: number of individuals ≥ 65 years of age at 1 January for each year
Antibiotics for systemic use:
– Numerator: sum DDD of all ATC J01 prescriptions
– Denominator: population at 1 January
Second line antibiotics:
– Numerator: sum DDDs of all ATC J01D and J01M prescriptions
– Denominator: sum DDDs of all ATC J01 prescriptions
Long-term anticoagulating drug in combination with an oral NSAID:
– Numerator: number of individuals who are long-term users of anticoagulating drugs acenocoumarol (B01AA07) or warfarin (B01AA03) or phenprocoumon (B01AA04) or dabigatran (B01AE07) or rivaroxaban (B01AF01) or apixaban (B01AF02) with concomitant use of ≥ 1 prescription of NSAID (M01A or M01B)
– Denominator: number of individuals who long-term users of ATC-codes acenocoumarol (B01AA07) or warfarin (B01AA03) or phenprocoumon (B01AA04) or dabigatran (B01AE07) or rivaroxaban (B01AF01) or apixaban (B01AF02)
Individuals who are long-term users of anticoagulating drugs are defined as individuals who use >270 Defined Daily Doses (DDD) of the B01A codes listed above.
Breaks in the time-related continuity of data on which the calculated indicators values are based are specified in the content of dataset. There are also specified the cases were the methodology used for data collection was different (deviations).
