ABSTRACT

This study aimed to explore the institutionalization maturity of the Korean National Health Accounts and was guided by the WHO's 2023 framework. A qualitative and quantitative assessment was conducted with eight experts in health sector to examine the level of institutionalization of health accounts in terms of demand, governance and financing, technical capacity, and data use and dissemination. The assessment found that governance, financing, and technical capacity are good, while the use and dissemination of data is moderate. Demand for health expenditure data was also not good. Based on the assessment, it was concluded that a systematic review of the demand for and utilization of health expenditure data, ensuring the reliability of statistical quality, and diversifying the ways of providing information, including databaseization of input data for calculating Current Health Expenditure, are the main issues to be addressed.
