"The HECM results have been published in an annual report to the parliament and Ministry of Health. Its results provide these bodies with a better understanding of the impact of aging of the population, therapeutic innovations, the evolution of medical practice, and public health interventions, as mentioned above through examples. It also provides them with insightful information to prepare the Social Security Funding Act and the Public Health Act, in particular, to identify priority public health actions to improve the resilience of the health system, which includes preventive actions. In addition, data used to identify health conditions and individual calculated expenditures are accessible through SNDS to a large number of health system actors and researchers, which can facilitate territorial diagnoses, research on health services and care pathways, and health economics studies. At the international level, these methods could be applied, or adapted according to data availability, in other countries with large-scale individual data on health care spending. Our results are also useful for international comparisons of the economic burden of disease in various populations and health systems."
