The reference criteria for assessment bands

  • 1. I nternational standards, if existing (i.e.: Caesarean

rate by WHO);

  • 2. Regional

standards set

  • ut

by the Regional Government;

  • 3. The regional mean, standardized by several factors

to allow comparisons across Health Authorities.

To visually represent the results of the six areas, each Health Authority has a personal “target” diagram, divided in five assessment bands. The more the Health Authority is able to reach

  • bjectives and obtain good results in each of the six

areas, the nearer the performance indicator is to the centre.

From 2007 the evaluation system is available on web after registration: http://performance.sssup.it/toscana Each year MeS-Lab issues an annual Report with the performance of the Tuscan Health Authorities and delivers it to the Regional Board, the Regional Council, the management and all interested citizens.

Linking measurement to performance management in public health care systems

Performance evaluation allows policy to be linked to management and to orient output results in order to achieve outcomes. Some evidences from the Performance Evaluation System (PES) adopted in the Tuscan health care system

How is the Tuscan Health system managed? The Performance Evaluation System

  • Indicators
  • f the PES

are selected since 2004 by Tuscan Health Authorities, Regional Administration professionals, health professionals

  • Continuous improvement and better results than other italian regions

Reward system in the Tuscany Region

INTRINSIC HEALTH PROFESSIONALS Professional reputation public disclosure of results Enabling peer review mechanism EXTRINSIC CEO (managers) Financial incentives that can achieve the 20% of the salary

CEO’s rewarding system added emphasis on the Tuscan PES: incentivized indicators improve 2.7 times than other PES indicators. Moreover the results

  • f a second model on 2008-2010 data show that incentivized indicators that

keep into account the baseline performance improve more than the

  • thers (OR 1.5).

Due to this empirical evidence, in 2011 every Health Authority receives personalized target for each indicator of the Tuscan PES in order to gather the financial reward related to the overall indicator.

SLIDE 33

The performance evaluation system is able to drive improvement… but is it also a tool to achieve equity?

The Pes shows that there is large variation not only between north and south but also in each region. Variation management across and within the regions should be included in the governance system as a strategic tool at each level.

Performance Maps 2008 - 2009

The capacity to improve in the interregional benchmarking has been

  • btained

by assigning an evaluation score to the percentual variation 2008‐2009 of each indicator considering: ‐ the distance from the median of the interregional benchmarking, if the indicator has worsened ‐ the distance from the first and third tertile

In every quadrant in the region where it has been bossible to calculate the variability between the Health Authorities the indicators in red are the ones where the intraregional variability has increased from 2008 to 2009, in green the ones where it has decreased, in black the ones where it has not been possible to calculate the variability.

In literature, the high variation in this field is mostly explained either by the distribution of supply which determines demand or by the services reimbursement system. Actually, in the Tuscan health care system hospitalizations are not reimbursed on the basis of the DRG system, nor are physicians reimbursed for each service delivered. However, there is still a significant variation which differs according to the surgical service considered.

indicators which measure the reduction of variability within the health authority relating to some elective surgical procedures:

52

Reduce High – Low ratios of HRs of selected elective surgical procedures Written Patient guidelines for each elective surgical procedure

Subjects involved: Physicians but… managers have to create the conditions that may support physicians in the process

Allowing patients to make choices more consciously: developing guidelines to help patients to orient themselves Involving health professionals to discuss their behaviour and benchmark their results

Reduction of variability where there are no standards but could affect equity

SLIDE 53

Conclusions

Including the variation dimension in the Tuscan PES is it going to work? … we hope! Avoiding unwarrented variation will be reached only if policy makers, physicians and patients collectively engage in a joint effort to reduce it. This is even truer in today’s era of rising costs, when taking actions to reduce variation may not only benefit citizens in terms of healthcare quality but also assure the economic sustainability of the whole healthcare system. Thanks!
