This variable describes the features of the current healthcare system. The variable indicates the healthcare system cluster based on the main actor type in the regulation and the financing dimension of the healthcare system.
Coding rules
The variable codes result from the combination of the the main actor types responsible for healthcare regulation and financing (see value labels). The State-based cluster is characterized by state regulation and state financing, i.e. general government financing as the main source (1). The State-regulated societal-financed cluster is typically financed through social insurance schemes (2). In the State-regulated individual-financed cluster private out-of pocket spending is the main source of health financing (3). The State-regulated global-financed cluster is dependent on international donors while the national state remains responsible for regulatory issues such as the allocation of money (4). In the Societally-regulated state-financed cluster societal actors such as the representatives of health insurance funds and provider associations take a strong role in regulation while the main share of financing is generated through general government revenue (5). In the Societally-based cluster societal actors are responsible for regulation as well as financing. In the Privately-based Cluster (7) private insurance and/or the market-relation of health service providers and patients characterizes regulation and financing. (0) indicates inconclusive or missing information. (99) indicates that no healthcare system under public responsibility was detected. The data is set to the year 2022, yet refers to 2022 or the most recent available information.
