1 Observatorio Europeo sobre Sistemas Sanitarios Suszy Lessof Allicante, 26 May 2003 European Observatory on Health Care Systems www.observatory.dk

2 Contexto Desafios/retos sanitarios comunes Globalizacion de las presiones Escasa evidencia sobre la efectividad real de muchas politicas sanitarias La informacion disponible carece de relevancia para politicos sanitarios y agencias

3 Respuestas Convergencia en las estrategias adoptadas Transferencia de modelos, reformas e ideas a traves de contextos socio-economicos, culturales distintos Reforma rica en ideologia pero pobre en conocimiento Politica sanitaria basada en la evidencia Observatorios

4 A new drug cannot be introduced…without exhaustive scientific trials, but we usually introduce new ways of delivering health services with little or no scientific evaluation … If health care system changes were submitted to the same scrutiny as new drug evaluations, they would probably not even be allowed to move from the animal to the human experimentation stage. Source: Hiullman 1998 Politica sanitaria basada en la evidencia

5 De la torre de marfil academica –Es necesaria mas investigacion –El jurado todavia esta deliberando –Demasiado pronto a comentar, …. A la politica reactiva del dia a dia –Agenda politica –Electoral pressures - short termism, ideology –Necesidad de resultados quick and dirty a corto plazo Politica sanitaria basada en la evidencia

6 Un papel del Observatorios Analisis comprensivo - disponibilidad de informacion en areas claves Analisis riguroso - c alidad scientifico Oportuno - timely Relevancia (pertinente, relacionado, apropriado) to policy makers needs Accesible - target dissemination /communication

7 Un papel del Observatorios Cubrir el gap entre la evidencia y la politica sanitaria –Regional –Nacional –Internacional

9 Mision del Observatorio Europeo El Observatorio Europeo sobre sistemas sanitarios apoya y promueve la politica sanitaria basada en la evidencia a traves del analisis comprensivo y riguroso de los sistemas sanitarios en Europa

10 Principios centrales Cubrir el espacio entre la evidencia cientifica y las necesidades de los politicos sanitarios Analisis comparativo de la evidencia existente Desarrollo de lecciones practicas y alternativas en politica sanitaria

11 Most countries are dealing with health care reforms as if each was on Mars. Few have tried to learn from others. (...) Instead of each country trying out its own experiments, they should be studying each others for ideas and pitfalls. The Economist (1991) Comparaciones internacionales

12 International differences in health care systems and approaches to reform can provide analysts with a natural experiment, which, if rigorously analysed, can facilitate learning from other countries successes and failures.
