On a range of zero to 100, theHealthcare Accessand Quality (HAQ) Index evaluates healthcare outcome ratings, with 100 being the best. Scores range from 90 to 96.1 for countries with the greatest healthcare systems in the world. With a score of 96.1, the Netherlands is in first place. ...
We also observed increases in LE and HALE among all countries. However, this was also challenged by increases in unhealthy life years (ULYs) and their constant percentage of LE. The HAQ index of LICs was also found to be low, although it had increased during the...
See the Healthcare Access and Quality Index (HAQ) 1990–2015, where Spain scored 90 points out of a maximum 100, placing it eighth in the world rankings, above the healthcare systems of Italy (89), France (88), Greece (87), Germany (86), the UK (85) and Portugal (85) [68]. ...
Study Design and Methods: The study employed a cross‐sectional design using data on blood donation rates from 171 countries from the 2021 WHO Global Status Report on Blood Safety and Availability and three healthcare quality indicators (i.e., Healthcare Access and Quality [HAQ] Index, life ...
(PHRs), and current blockchain-driven systems handled mainly through technology. Repositories differ in security and quality. Depending on circumstances, the sensitivity and value of the health data contained in archives differ greatly from patient to patient. It isn’t easy to know which digital ...

These have the potential to improve the quality and sustainability of healthcare facilities. For this, a reference framework based on indicators is needed, which allows their periodic evaluation, and the formulation of improvement measures. In the medical literature, there are previous quality ...
The present work proposes a new decision support tool for assessing the sustainable suppliers in the healthcare supply chain. For this purpose, the classical Measurement of Alternatives and Ranking according to Compromise Solution (MARCOS) model is integ
We employed principal component analysis to create a single, interpretable summary measure–the Healthcare Quality and Access (HAQ) Index–on a scale of 0 to 100. The HAQ Index showed strong convergence validity as compared with other health-system indicators, including health expenditure per capita...
A linear regression analysis was conducted to examine the association of health outcomes with the Healthcare Access and Quality (HAQ) index. Results: LE and HALE increased with improved HAQ index from 1990 to 2019. However, the number of unhealthy years of life incre...
