Abstract
One of the main challenges for health policy makers is analyzing available information, assessing risks arising at specified times, and taking evidence-based decisions. This is a particularly difficult process in healthcare and, accordingly, making health-policy decisions. This article examines and presents the opportunities for assessing regional disparities and health risks through an appropriate selection of indicators (parameters) and calculating the relevant risk ratios. A comparative analysis of the risk assessment was carried out in two periods 2014 and 2016 as well as the change in the risk ratios The methodology for selecting the indicators, the respective computational techniques, as well as the results obtained for the different indicators are presented. On the basis of these indicators, a composite risk factor was calculated for both the respective group of indicators for the respective region and the comparison between the two periods. The authors demonstrate the need to analyze regional differences as well as to objectify the risks by calculating the respective coefficients.
