Tracking rehabilitative care expenditure under the System of Health Accounts 2011

Overview

Tracking rehabilitative care expenditure under the System of Health Accounts 2011 is a technical note that provides methodological and practical guidance to improve the identification, classification, and measurement of rehabilitative care spending within national Health Accounts. Developed as a supplement to the SHA 2011 methodology, it clarifies concepts, terminology, and boundaries, and addresses common methodological challenges. The note offers practical approaches to data collection, mapping, estimation, and reporting, supporting health accounts teams and rehabilitation stakeholders in producing more consistent, comparable, and policy‑relevant expenditure data to inform planning, financing, resource allocation, and monitoring of rehabilitation services within health systems.
