Gross domestice product is a significant indicator of country economic performance. Most of the times this term is being used by our Economics loving healthcare fraternity to match how poor is our country healthcare facility.
moreover, GDP is global indicator in terms of comparision in healthcare if we combine it with the % of per capita health spending.
Going by the current statistics America leads with highest GDP ,then is Japan, China , Germany , france & so on India is being rated on 12th position.
If we grade the % of GDP expenditure on healthcare USA remains the leader and the other countries putting up their strong presence are switzerland , France ,Germany and so on.
But if we rate altogether by the WHO's current health system performance USA stays far behind the countries from the countries who spends approximately 8- 11% of their GDP.
It has always being a challenge to compare Business performance with health performance but still all developing as well as developed country strongly rely on their economic parameters .
Performance assessment has always been a matter of debate as even by treating maximum number of patients India & china are rated among the worst countries for their health system performance.
In future healthcare sector requires more accurate parametrs to measure its performance (Than % of GDP & Per capita expenditure in value)

Could it be that the GDP, that gold standard of economic data, might not be the best way to gauge a nation's relative prosperity? Since it became the prime economic indicator during the Second World War (to monitor war production) many have...

I agree to the points mentioned by Prakash. Apart from that I believe the financial crisis has not hit healthcare organizations involved in care giving. To be specific the demand for healthcare has not reduced as the disease burden remains to be...

Microeconomics focuses more on basic theories of supply and demand and how businesses decide how much of something to produce and how much to charge for it. Micro is the basic level and all other economic theory gets built on top of it. Micro...

Macroeconomics is flashier. It touches on GDP, inflation, unemployment and other things you read about in the newspaper. By itself macroeconomics is half of economics. It examines the economy in the large, focusing on feedback from one component...

Affordable dental plans are important to your overall health coverage. Without affordable dental plans, you could unnecessarily pay thousands of dollars for simple procedures. Affordable Dental Care is an unmet need in many families. Luckily there is an affordable solution for uninsured people that can give you coverage so you can get an appointment quickly. One of the best features of affordable dental plans is the fact that there is no underwriting period to wait around for like there is with traditional insurance. Once you complete your application, select a dentist, and make your annual one-time payment, you are covered. Families are eligible for coverage as well. If you choose a family plan, your family is covered at the same time you are. A healthy mouth is a key component to an overall healthy body. There are serious medical conditions that show symptoms that begin in the mouth. There are several things that you need to know when on the hunt of an affordable dental coverage....

It usually takes us much longer to change our moods than we’d like it to take. Here are ten things you can do in ten minutes or less that will have a positive emotional effect on you and those you love. 1. Watch "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. See it online at Oprah.com. This is a deeply moving segment that may be the best ten minutes you've ever invested in front of a computer. 2. Spend a little while watching the sunset with your mate. Nothing extra is necessary. Just sit and take in the natural beauty of the sky and appreciate being able to share it with the one you love. 3. Sit quietly by yourself. It doesn't really matter where or when. Just let your feelings bubble up and then experience the thoughts flowing out of your mind. Clearing your head and heart will give you extra energy to get through the rest of the day. 4. Write a thank you note to your mate. When was the last time you thanked your partner for just being who he or she is and being with you? Doing this in...

Way back in 1897 William Faulkner said, “ I believe that man will not merely endure; he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among the creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of kindness and compassion .” I’m not talking about anything new here; it’s just a reminder of what we all knew and seem to have forgotten. We seem to have been taken in by the sheer pace of things around us – the violence, the economy driven work culture, the information boom, etc etc – you know them all – and the media has only added up to the pace. We need to look around us. Where have all courtesies gone ? Been to a gathering lately ? This is a wake-up call , a reminder !! We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibres connect us with our fellow human beings; and along those fibres, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects . We need to re-learn to give; so that some of us eventually receive. It's the...

The other day I was in a restaurant and saw a sign advertising "Sliders Fridays." From what I gathered, they offered a deep discount on tiny hamburgers, called sliders, on Friday nights. The interesting thing about this discovery is that I own the restaurant and it's the first I knew of it. (Stacey's at Waterford: www.eatatstaceys.com ) I don't just own the restaurant. I also manage it, although I use that term loosely. I've taken the concept of hands-off management to the next level. Most of the time I have no idea what the staff is up to. They organize customer events, execute marketing ideas, hire and fire, change the menu, and pretty much anything else they want. I only get involved if there is a largish expense that needs to be approved. I see the financials daily, by e-mail, but I'm mostly about the bottom line. As a well-known critic of managers, I painted a big red bulls eye on my back when I started managing the restaurant. For the first year I was involved in the details...
