Health and health care targets

This study, commissioned by the Belgian National Institute for Health and Disability Insurance (NIHDI), explores international experience in the setting of national health and health care targets, with a view to drawing conclusions relevant for Belgium in this area. It notably assesses how the topic has been addressed in the scientific and grey literature and explores more in-depth the cases of Austria, Germany, and Sweden, which have a long experience in setting national health(care) targets. The synthesis of the main lessons learned leads to specific policy recommendations.
