AB  - KCE Reports 313C (2019)The fourth edition of the Belgian Performance Report was published in 2019. It analyses our health system according to five dimensions: accessibility, quality, efficiency, sustainability and equity of care. In addition, five specific care topics have been examined: preventive care, mental health care, care for the elderly, end-of-life care, and care for mothers and newborns. The result is a dashboard containing 121 indicators.The report highlights the strengths and weaknesses using “green lights” and “red lights”. In 2019, for example, green lights were used for the 5-year survival rate after colorectal cancer, neonatal mortality, and the use of low cost medications. Red lights alerted us to the overconsumption of antibiotics, the decrease in influenza vaccination coverage among the elderly, and the turnover forecasts in general medicine.
