Europe's healthcare in numbers: not everything is as it appears

Across Europe, healthcare systems operate with different levels of capacity and varying healthcare practices, from the amount of hospital beds per capita to the average lengths of stay. Yet as the data shows, more care or more capacity does not automatically lead to shorter waiting lists or fewer preventable deaths.

Our infographic brings these contrasts into focus, illustrating some notable differences between healthcare systems across Western Europe. By visualising these metrics side by side, it becomes clearer that capacity alone doesn’t predict how well a healthcare system is functioning.

So what does influence accessibility and quality? This is where healthcare analytics come in. Robust data and the right analytics, enable healthcare organisations to understand trends, identify inefficiencies and pinpoint best care delivery practices. With these insights, they can make informed decisions about where to improve, while keeping care at the highest quality.
