Abstract
Presented is an introduction to a set of new indexes that describe the quantity, price and combined expenditure on hospital services delivery by the states and territories in Australia. These indexes provide a consistent account of healthcare productivity, which can be disaggregated into sub-indexes that map directly to the underlying activity and cost-structures of health sector providers and their payers.
