The overall objective of this project is to develop a database researchers can access to conduct international comparisons. There is considerable interest in international comparisons among policy makers, health service researchers, pharmaceutical and equipment manufacturers and others. However, no readily accessible datasets is available to support this type of research. Such a database would be accessed by researchers in multiple countries and will foster transfer of data and knowledge between countries. To develop the database, the following technical and procedural issues will be addressed: * Sources of Data and Countries to be included, * Desired data elements for comparison, * Construction and Verification of dataset * Development of a user-friendly front-end, * Method for updating the database over time. The objectives for Phase I are to: 1) Identify data sources in addition to the OECD, WH0 and Johns Hopkins datasets, 2) Identify data element to be included by reviewing dataset contents, 3) Develop a method for handling missing data, and 4) Illustrate the use of the data via a publishable research article comparing several countries on a common variable. Phase II objectives will be to expand the scope of the database, merge existing files, and development of a user-friendly access System.

该项目的总体目标是开发一个数据库研究人员 可以访问进行国际比较。有相当大的 对政策制定者、卫生服务之间的国际比较感兴趣 研究人员、制药和设备制造商等。 然而，没有易于访问的数据集来支持这种类型 研究。这样的数据库将被多个研究人员访问 国家之间的数据和知识转移 国家。 开发数据库，​​需要解决以下技术和程序问题 将解决： * 数据来源和所包括的国家， * 用于比较所需的数据元素， * 数据集的构建和验证 * 开发一个用户友好的前端， * 随着时间的推移更新数据库的方法。 第一阶段的目标是： 1) 确定除 OECD、WH0 和约翰·霍普金斯之外的数据源 数据集， 2) 通过审查数据集内容来识别要包含的数据元素， 3）开发处理缺失数据的方法，以及 4）通过可发表的研究文章说明数据的使用 比较几个国家的共同变量。 第二阶段的目标将是扩大数据库的范围、合并 现有文件，并开发用户友好的访问系统。
