Input Costs For Healthcare Providers

This dataset shows how much health providers spend on the inputs needed to produce healthcare goods and services (factors of provision). This information is typically tracked at national aggregate levels to meet the need to ensure an efficient, appropriate allocation of resources in the production of healthcare services. Specific policy needs may require information regarding total payments for human resources, expenditure on pharmaceuticals, and other significant inputs. Furthermore, the financial planning of health programmes and services often relies on information about the volume and mixture of factor spending.
