Assessing health system responsiveness to the needs of older people

CONCLUSIONS: Responsiveness can be comprehensively assessed by (i) approaching the intrinsic features of the system via its inputs, outputs, and outcomes, and (ii) measuring the impact of the system on meeting the needs of older people in terms of their health, financial protection, and expectations. Further consensus is needed to develop a list of core indicators that could be used as a baseline for measuring a health system's responsiveness to the needs of older people.PMID:34621304 | PMC:PMC8489740 | DOI:10.26633/RPSP.2021.127
