Book excerpt: There is increasing interest in comparing Canada's health system internationally. Enhancing accountability and promoting benchmarking and mutual learning are among the reasons for looking at how health system performance varies across countries. Although there are methodological challenges in terms of having consistent and comparable data, there is value in understanding how Canadian results compare internationally. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is a comprehensive and reliable source of international health care data. Every two years, the OECD releases Health at a Glance, a report that compares member countries on a number of key health indicators. The objective of this Analysis in Brief is to focus on the Canadian results for a selection of OECD indicators and to identify specific areas where Canada performs well and where it can improve.
