Living longer but not healthier. Time to rethink chronic care

New research shows the growing burden of chronic diseases, calling for more prevention, earlier intervention and shared responsibility beyond health-care systems.

Zurich Insurance Group (Zurich) has published The Value of Chronic Care, a new report that analyzes how well health systems are responding to the growing burden of chronic diseases across all 38 OECD countries.

The research introduces an index that measures how well health-care systems are prepared to manage the rising burden of chronic disease. It suggests that outcomes aren't mainly driven by countries' healthcare spending. They depend more on how effectively care is organized, coordinated and delivered over time.
