Health care expenditure and other data.
This international compendium from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Secretariat contains available data for the 24 Member countries for 1960 through 1987. The Federal Republic of Germany is listed as Germany. Tables are presented for expenditure on health, health care pricing trends, social protection and public participation, utilization of medical services and available personnel resources, selected variations in common medical care practice, selected health status indicators, and demographic and general economic background data. There may be some inconsistencies between the data presented in the articles in this issue and those in this data compendium. The articles were based on earlier versions of the Health Data File. As a result, revisions to the data in a number of countries, including Canada, France, Germany, and Italy, are not reflected in the articles. However, the changes are relatively minor and do not affect the results presented in the articles in any substantive way.
