Concept information
Preferred term
comparing health systems
Definition
- Comparison is elemental and learning inevitable in life as much as in health services research. We know what something is only by reference to what it is not, while the very process of referring and distinguishing depends on patterns of classification and categorization inherited from others and inhabited by virtue of the language we use.
