Peterson-KFF Health System tracker
The Peterson Center on Healthcare and KFF partner to monitor how well the U.S. healthcare system performs in terms of quality and cost. Since 2015, the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker has provided clear, up-to-date information on trends, drivers and issues that impact the performance of the U.S. system.
The Peterson Center on Healthcare partners with KFF to measure the performance of the U.S. healthcare system through the lenses of quality and cost. Providing timely, trusted evidence, the Tracker illuminates the challenges our health system faces—and the opportunities to improve it.
The Tracker translates complex, national healthcare data into easy-to-understand and actionable insights for healthcare providers, payers, consumer advocates, media and policymakers. Chart collections, dashboards, an interactive tool to explore national health spending, and briefs that analyze the latest healthcare issues provide a broad view of the healthcare system’s performance and a detailed look at specific indicators. Performance data can be compared to similar countries, and visualizations and analyses allow users to examine national and household healthcare spending.
