| Summary: | This paper outlines changes that have
been made in the 2019 version of the Health Equity and
Financial Protection Indicators database. On the financial
protection side, the changes include an increase in the
number of indicators from five to 14; revisions to several
previous data points, reflecting the analysis of new surveys
(or adaptations thereof); and refinements to the estimation
of out-of-pocket expenditures. On the health equity side,
the 2019 database includes 198 more data points than the
9,733 in the 2018 database, reflecting the addition of 535
new datapoints, and the dropping of 337 previously included
data points now considered to be substandard. |
