  1. Jhpiego’s collaboration with the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation - EGPAF PBF initiative Performance-based Finance (PBF) in Mozambique Edgar Necochea, Director Health Systems Development Jhpiego - an Affiliate of Johns Hopkins University

  2. The EGPAF PBF initiative in Mozambique • Implemented by the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation with funding from CDC/PEPFAR (AIDS funds) • Started in 2009 with cost reimbursement and PBF component in 2010 • Includes approximately 27 districts and 2 provincial directorates of health

  3. Jhpiego has collaborated with EGPAF providing tools for the assessment of the quality component of the PBF initiative in Mozambique in two areas: infection prevention and control and maternal health • Jhpiego is improving quality of care in these areas in the country using its Standards-based Management and Recognition (SBM-R) approach

  4. SBM-R in Mozambique • Infection Prevention and Control (IPC): implemented nationally in all hospitals of the country (45) and 82 health centers, with CDC support • Model Maternities: implemented in 34 facilities planned expansion to 122 by 2014, with USAID support • Others: Model wards, pre-service education • Adopted by the Mozambican MOH, key part of the MOH national quality strategy

  5. Mozambican MOH Quality Strategy 1. Promote and guarantee the dissemination and adoption of evidence-based health practices and standardize healthcare processes with base on these practices: a. Update service delivery norms and guidelines working with the professional and specialty associations. b. Continue and expand the implementation of the SBM-R approach currently used in IPC and Model Wards and Maternities. c. Promote the use of the WHO check-lists as job aids that reinforce the adoption of evidence-based practices in areas such as safe surgery and patient safety.

  6. The SBM-R approach

  7. There is significant amount of evidence on what works in healthcare, but… • Many countries are not implementing even the basic standards of care in their facilities

  8. Rand Corporation study, 2003 • 12 cities in the U.S., 6,712 patients • 439 performance standards for 30 acute and chronic conditions and preventive care • Clinical records review plus phone interviews • Average: 54.9% recommended care (acute: 53.5%, chronic: 56.1%, preventive: 54.9%) • Range: between 78.8 (cataracts) and 10.5% (alcohol dependency) • Gap between best care based on evidence and average care

  9. The critical gap Between: • What is known • What is done

  10. The reality in many low resource settings • Few health workers for service provision • Staff overburdened by workload • Poor working conditions, lack of resources • Low motivation of staff • Weak pre-service education, often staff lack basic knowledge and skills • Dysfunctional management systems, including patient records and information

  11. What we were looking for Less emphasis on problem analysis and more focus on providing a solution that is: • Practical • User-friendly • Informative • Challenging • Fun

  12. From evidence to action Systematic reviews of the evidence (Scientific basis) Guidelines (Synthesis of the evidence) Standards (Care maps, check-lists)

  13. The Standards-Based Management and Recognition Approach

  14. Sample performance standard for EOC Area: Pregnancy Care Y, N, NA Verification Criteria Comments Perf. Standard • The facility conducts a routine rapid assessment of pregnant women • Observe in the reception area or waiting room if the person who receives the pregnant woman: • Asks if she has or has had: • Vaginal bleeding • Headache or visual changes • Breathing difficulty • Severe abdominal pain • Fever • Immediately notifies the health provider if any of these conditions are present

  15. Sample performance standard for IP Area: Operating Room Verification Means Comments Y, N, N/A Criteria 1. The cleaning equipment is processed before reuse or storage • Observe if the mops, buckets, brushes and cleaning cloths are: • Decontaminated by soaking for 10 minutes in 0.5% chlorine solution or other approved disinfectant. • Washed in detergent and water. • Rinsed in clean water. • Dried completely before reuse or storage.

  19. Types and uses of measurement ACTION EVIDENCE

  24. Motivation • Empowerment • Challenge • Growth • Achievement • Healthy competition • Fun

  25. Recognition as an incentive • Feedback • Social recognition • Material recognition

  26. The EGPAF PBF initiative

  27. Components • Cost-reimbursement (input-based): provider receives funds based on budget line items, submits justifications to EGPAF (without receipts, no payment); approximately 60% of budget • Performance-based (output-based): provider is paid for services delivered (without service, no payment); approximately 40% of budget

  28. Functions and entities • Regulator/Provincial health directorate: monitors quantity and quality of services, establishes procedures for usage of PBF funds • Purchaser/EGPAF: verifies and pays • Provider/Health facility & District health department: provides services • Consumer/civil society: utilizes services, controls results, and measures client satisfaction

  29. Quantity indicators • HIV indicators (50%): PMTCT (4), Pediatric HIV (5), Care and treatment program (6) • Non-HIV indicators (50%): MCH program/TB/Primary health (6)

  30. PBF model EGPAF –Mozambique PBF model is similar to the Rwanda model based on price for service • HIV indicators taken from PEPFAR indicators, with comparatively robust M&E system. • Additional components are the quality tools (IMQ, MM and PCI) approved by MOH. • Equity bonus (for remote districts) • Patient satisfaction bonus (based on independent patient satisfaction survey)

  31. Equity and quality indicators • Equity factor: 0.20 or 0.25 • HIV Quality Index (QI): 0.25 • Infection Prevention and Control QI: 0.125 • Model Maternity QI: 0.125 • Client Satisfaction Index: 0.05 These are percentages of the total amount for quantity (quality represents 75% of the amount for quantity.)

  32. Reporting and verification • Quarterly and semi-annual reports from beneficiaries • Verification: Quality tools: quarterly for HIV(IMQ); Infection Prevention and Control and Model maternities: semi-annual • When targets are met for a particular quantity indicator, it will receive a 4% bonus (of the total amount for the specific indicator)

  33. Community verification • Independent verification of quantity service data reported by the health facility • Independent assessment of client satisfaction

  34. Equity factor • For districts that face greater obstacles in service delivery (lack of investment, resources, or other constraints) • Amount to 20 or 25% of the total amount for quantity x Price(Basis for payment)

  35. Use of funds • A minimum of 60% of funds should be used for health staff incentives • A maximum of 40% for other activities like reinvestment in the HF.
