Framework of Effective Health Care Coverage

Abstract

The distribution of health care interventions to individuals who need them is a crucial step, which should contribute to achieve social goals such as improving the health of the population and reducing health inequalities. This natural focus on delivery of interventions is the reason for the attention paid to measures of utilization and access to health care services in the process of defining health policy. But the delivery of health care services can be valued through a more comprehensive measure of health care coverage. The time gap between the actions of the health system and health care coverage as their semi-product is less than between the actions of the health care system and the final results they achieved on patients.
