[Defining a set of indicators for the evaluation of healthcare needs and of the performance of local health authorities]
Abstract
A set of indicators for assessing healthcare needs and evaluating healthcare services are needed. This paper presents a set of indicators for evaluating healthcare districts, defined by a local health authority in the city of Rome. The set of indicators was developed by selecting 11 areas of interest and assigning to each area indicators that would allow an evaluation of its main functional aspects. Overall, 99 indicators were chosen and listed under one of two sections: basic and specific indicators. Annual measurements of the indicators is performed and a study will be conducted during 2010 to evaluate the system of indicators.
