Özet:

The performance measurement in health is the process of monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of the services provided by the health care system to meet the needs and expectations of patients. Significant and comparable information on health system performance ensures the establishment of strong health policies at national and international level. A comparable assessment of health performance is possible, especially by comparisons with countries in the same or higher income group, and ensures the detection of health system deficiencies or better aspects. This study aimed at comparing the performance of the G20 health system in 19 countries (except the European Commission) where Turkey is a member. In this regard, the Malmquist Total Factor Efficiency Index (MTFV) has been used as one of the methods commonly applied in the country’s health systems comparison. According to the results of the analysis, Turkey is among the countries that showed increased efficiency in the health system in the period 2000-2010, 2010-2015 and 2000-2015.

Significant and comparable information on health system performance ensures strong health policies at national and international level. A comparable assessment of health performance is possible, especially through comparisons with countries in the same or higher income group, and provides for the elimination of deficiencies or better aspects in the health system. In this study, it is aimed to compare the performance of health care systems of the G20 members (excluding European Union Commission), whose one of members is Turkey.  In this respect, the Malmquist Total Factor Productivity (MTFP) Analysis, which is one of the most frequently used methods in the comparison of health systems in the country, was utilized. The results showed that Turkey’s healthcare system is one of the healthcare systems which show increase in efficiency in 2000-2010, 2010-2015 and 2000-2015 time periods.
