PaRIS Survey – Results

International survey reveals strengths and challenges of Luxembourg’s healthcare system

Based on the PaRIS (Patient-Reported Indicator Surveys), which gathered the perspectives of over 107,000 people aged 45 and over in 1,800 medical practices across 19 countries, the OECD study enables an international comparison of patients’ experience of care and their perception of health outcomes. It also analyzes how healthcare systems respond to the needs of people with chronic diseases.

Commissioned by the Direction de la Santé, the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH) conducted the PaRIS survey in Luxembourg, gathering responses from 1,590 patients on their health, their care experience, and their socio-demographic characteristics. Data were also collected from 52 medical practices throughout the country. READ MORE.

Country Note

This country note leverages the main findings of the publication, Does Healthcare Deliver: Results from the Patient-Reported Indicator Surveys (PaRIS), to provide a focused assessment for Luxembourg.

Flagship Report

This PaRIS flagship report presents the results from the first international survey of primary care patients aged 45 years and older, with an emphasis on the largest and fastest-growing group of healthcare users: people with chronic conditions. By capturing patients’ self-reported health outcomes and experiences, this survey offers an invaluable perspective for assessing healthcare systems across the OECD and beyond.

FAQs

Why are we doing this survey?

How do patients experience care? Do they get the outcomes they expect? Unfortunately, these metrics are rarely measured in a systematic and rigorous way. It is difficult to improve what is not measured.


PaRIS helps health systems focus on patients by systematically collecting data on the outcomes and experiences that matter most to them, revealing how health systems contribute to people’s lives.


This information allows health services to learn and improve, and to deliver the ultimate objective of health care: maximizing people’s health and wellbeing.

Why has Luxembourg taken part?

The LIH has been mandated by the Directorate of Health of the Ministry of Health to carry out the PaRIS survey in Luxembourg. This survey has been commissioned by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, https://www.oecd.org/health/paris/), on behalf of its members.

PaRIS is an international initiative conducted in 23 countries around the world. Luxembourg is taking part in this survey, and will use the findings to improve health services for patients, their families and communities.

How does it work?

The PaRIS conceptual framework links two data sources in the main survey:

  • Data provided by patients about their demographics, health conditions, health literacy level, and health behaviors. The patient-reported measures on general physical, mental, social health outcomes and experiences of health care.
  • Data provided by health care providers about clinic characteristics, remuneration and care models.

The main phase of the study aims to recruit 75 GPs and 75 patient/GP pairs according to specific inclusion criteria.

Who will PaRIS help?

  • Policy makers, by having better information on where to focus quality improvement efforts and prioritise spending.
  • Health care providers, by better understanding how to improve the quality of the care they provide.
  • Patients, by having their say on their outcomes and experiences.
