Title	Bismarck or Beveridge: a beauty contest between dinosaurs
Published in	BMC Health Services Research, June 2007
DOI	10.1186/1472-6963-7-94
Pubmed ID	17594476
Authors	Jouke van der Zee, Madelon W Kroneman
Abstract	Health systems delivery systems can be divided into two broad categories: National Health Services (NHS) on the one hand and Social Security (based) Health care systems (SSH) on the other hand. Existing literature is inconclusive about which system performs best. In this paper we would like to improve the evidence-base for discussion about pros and cons of NHS-systems versus SSH-system for health outcomes, expenditure and population satisfaction.

This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 February 2021.

All research outputs

#3,118,273

of 23,308,124 outputs

Outputs from BMC Health Services Research

#1,361

of 7,801 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#7,060

of 69,087 outputs

Outputs of similar age from BMC Health Services Research

of 20 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 23,308,124 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.

So far Altmetric has tracked 7,801 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its peers.

Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 69,087 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
