CALCULATION OF HEALTH SYSTEM SUCCESS INDEX OF COUNTRIES ACCORDING TO MORTALITY, HEALTH EXPENDITURE AND HEALTHY LIFE EXPECTANCY

Aim: The aim of this study is to measure the health system success of G10 countries according to the dimensions of death, expenditure and healthy life expectancy by creating an index and comparing it multidimensional for both 2005, 2015 and 2020. Methods: In the study, the "health system success index" consisting of three dimensions and four indicators was created. Dimensions were determined as quality of life, spending success-financial success- and death- mortality. While calculating the success index, indicators were used for each dimension and “quality of life index” for quality of life, “spending success index” for spending success and “living index” for death were formed. A general health system success index was obtained by taking the geometric average of the three indices created with the help of dimensions Results: According to the 2005 health system success index, Japan was the most successful country among the G10 countries, while the USA was found to be the country with the lowest success index. Conclusion: The country with the highest success index in 2020 was again Japan, while the Netherlands ranked 2nd as the country that made the most progress in this process. Similar to 2005, the USA was found to be the country that was relatively unsuccessful in 2020.
