### Methodology
In an integration process, data from various internal and external sources are confronted and analysed. This process results in records of healthcare providers (called actors) that provide insight into expenditure, funding sources and functions. Price and volume data will also be available.
This is done for more than 80 actors. Per actor, the expenditure on specific forms of care is determined by funding source or function (=cluster of activities with a specific (care) purpose), or divided between funding sources and functions according to the SHA where the distribution is based on or information within the expenditure itself, or external information such as GDP or surveys by, for example, De Nederlandsche Bank or Dutch Healthcare Authority.
### Population
Activities for the purpose of care provided by healthcare providers.
Health care providers with activity in section Q of NACE rev.2 (Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community) (divisions 86, 87 and 88), or belonging to the Health Care Providers class of the System of Health Accounts. It concerns each economic unit (including households) that provides care products (goods or services) to the end user, or takes care of their administration, policy, management and financing. For example, in addition to general hospitals, the prison hospital, pharmacies, internal occupational health services, health insurers and government belong to the population. The providers are grouped according to a breakdown by actors, which corresponds to or adds up to the SHA’s Health Care Providers classification plus an additional classification for well-being, childcare and social services.
The activities/products are classified according to the classification of health care functions of the System of Health Accounts 2011, with a residual category covering the rest of welfare care (as defined in NACE 87 and 88).
