    Global illness measures assess health service performance by classifying patient states and societal valuations. This enables data-driven planning and combines mortality and morbidity data for comprehensive health system evaluation.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Public Health Policy
    • Biostatistics

    Background:

    • Global measures are essential for evaluating overall health service performance.
    • These measures translate medical outcomes into actionable data for planning.
    • They require a universal classification of illness states and societal valuations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a framework for global illness measures.
    • To define the properties of a suitable classification and valuation scale.
    • To discuss challenges in deriving and applying these measures.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a patient-agnostic illness classification system.
    • Creation of a societal valuation scale for health states.
    • Methodology for aggregating individual outcomes in heterogeneous populations.

    • Discussed practical challenges in their derivation and application.
    • Presented examples of applying a global measure to specialists and UK population data.

    Conclusions:

    • Global illness measures provide a unified approach to health service assessment.
    • Societal valuations and a comprehensive classification are key to their utility.
    • These measures can inform planning across all administrative levels, including government.
