  4. Clinical and day treatments: Data • Hospital Discharge Register (Dutch LMR) For every patient: • Date of birth • Diagnosis (ICD-codes) • Hospitalisation days • Clinical (≥ 24 hrs) or day treatment (< 24 hrs)

  5. Clinical and day treatments: Index • Diagnosis Age-groups: • Diagnosis: 3-digit ICD • Age: 7 classes Volume indices: • Discharges per DA-group are counted • Clinical and day treatments are added • Index per DA-group: Dischargesyr t / Dischargesyr t – 1 Weights for DA-indices: • Hospitalisation days • Annually adjusted

  6. Index for other services • Outpatient: Visits yr t / visits yr t – 1 Similar index for remaining services: • Treatments yr t / treatments yr t – 1 • Blood takings yr t / blood takings yr t – 1 • Births yr t / births yr t – 1

  7. Overall Laspeyres index • Clinical and day (D): • Other services (R): • Overall index: Cost weights

  8. Output general hospitals

  12. Labour productivity • Sector: General hospitals • LP = Output / Labour input • Labour input: • Measured in fte’s • Correction for sick and maternity leave • Differentiation by profession group • Group weights based on salaries

  13. Labour productivity: Results

  14. Comparison with other sectors
