1. Different approaches to performance assessment and management Some insights for Turkey (part 2)
2. Outline
Caution note
Daring exercise, especially from an outsider perspective
to apply some of this to the Turkish setting / ask questions more than make observations
A few reflections based on what I have learned from the countrys health system, and also more generally what I have observed in a number of countries
certainly the challenges I want to bring about in today-s presentations are challenges faced by the vast majority if not all countries with already a solid purchasing mechanisms who want to move forward and try out some new ideas
Trigger some questions / reflections for the next 2 days / as has been done by Enis this morning, open up the box, set in the wider context, push to have a comprehensive view on hospital performance / serve as orientation for maybe one or two good discussion????
Not for simplification for more complexity but when I see the incentive based payement, you can definitely tackle with complexityCaution note

3. One ultimate goal: improved health Add a few more extracts froom the Tallin Charter which we see in the strategy mapAdd a few more extracts froom the Tallin Charter which we see in the strategy map
4. From generic goals to country-specific objectives actionable by policy Delivering health services to individuals and to populations
Policy-makers throughout the Region value and strive to make possible the provision of quality services for all, particularly for vulnerable groups (
)
Patients also want to have a relationship with their health care provider based on respect for privacy, dignity and confidentiality
Effective primary health care is essential for promoting these aims, providing a platform for the interface of health services with communities and families, and for intersectoral and interprofessional cooperation and health promotion.
Health systems need to ensure a holistic approach to services, involving health promotion, disease prevention and integrated disease management programmes, as well as coordination among a variety of providers, institutions and settings, irrespective of whether these are in the public or the private sector, and including primary care, acute and extended care facilities and peoples homes, among others.
LINK TO NEXT SLIDE: 12. The practical application of these broad goals in each country requires the identification of
objectives that are linked to the goals and actionable by policy, and that are relevant in the
context of the countrys sociopolitical priorities and economic and fiscal means. Improving
access to high quality health care and enhancing peoples knowledge of how to improve their
own health are examples relevant to all countries. The objectives should be specified in a
measurable way to enable explicit monitoring of progress. This approach orients the design,
implementation and assessment of health system reforms.

Delivering health services to individuals and to populations
Policy-makers throughout the Region value and strive to make possible the provision
of quality services for all, particularly for vulnerable groups, in response to their
needs, and to enable people to make healthy lifestyle choices.
Patients want access to quality care, and to be assured that providers are relying on the
best available evidence that medical science can offer and using the most appropriate
technology to ensure improved effectiveness and patient safety.
Patients also want to have a relationship with their health care provider based on
respect for privacy, dignity and confidentiality.
Effective primary health care is essential for promoting these aims, providing a

10. Satisfactory hospital performance is defined as the maintenance of a state of functioning that corresponds to societal, patient and professional norms.
High hospital performance should be based on professional competences in application of present knowledge, available technologies and resources; efficiency in the use of resources; minimal risk to the patient; responsiveness to the patient; optimal contribution to health outcomes.
Within the health care environment, high hospital performance should further address the responsiveness to community needs and demands, the integration of services in the overall delivery system, and commitment to health promotion.
High hospital performance should be assessed in relation to the availability of hospitals services to all patients irrespective of physical, cultural, social, demographic and economic barriers.
The Performance Assessment Tool for quality improvement in Hospitals (PATH) Many definition of hospital performance to draw on. This is just one for illustrative purpose only (note in parenthesis that ¨Turkey is participating to PATH and PATH was presented here last year - hence resonate well here)
2 messages here:
Performance is not just about clinical effectiveness, productivity/financial sustainability, staff orientation but it is also about responsive governance
look up the PATH definition.. Much highlighted in Enis presentation. And again in my presentation.

12. On the importance and difficulty of aligning incentives / one country example Discrepancy between strategic statement, performance measurement and internal accountability measures
Lack of data
Lack of knowledge and tool
Lack of leadership
National Hospital Development Plan:
Ensure access to high quality care
Optimize the cost for establishing and operating hospital network
Optimize network through for instance sharing of facilities and specialization for increase volume
What is looked at by governance board, matters is volume and prices, and patient satisfaction (patient complaints essentially) as it relates to market share and hence volume
The strategic focus is marked by the recent hospital reforms and aligned on the Hospital Network Development Plan (Government of Estonia, 2003) which states that the three objectives for the hospital network are (1) to ensure access to high quality care, (2) to optimize the cost for establishing and operating the hospital network and (3) to ensure the sustainability of the hospital network. Measurable targets were set to assess the achievement of those objectives in terms of (a) reducing the average length of stay in acute care (b) reducing acute care beds and (c) increasing the bed occupancy rate in acute care. We observed that hospital strategic priorities are aligned to the measurable targets (a to c) rather than to the stated objectives (1 to 3). Access, and quality of care (objective 1) as well as optimization of the network (objective 2) (through for instance sharing facilities or specializing for increased volume) are largely under-represented. In the context of hospital reforms and relative uncertainty regarding survival, what matters, and hence what is measured and looked at with scrutiny by the supervisory board and the management board, are volume and prices (content of the contracts with EHIF) and patient satisfactions (patient complaints essentially). Hence, we generally observe significant discrepancies between strategic statements, performance measurement and internal accountability structures. The discrepancies between stated priorities and performance measures were explained by a lack of data (though a lot of data are being collected, see below), a lack of knowledge of the tools (indicators, reports) and a lack of leadership or interest in investing in an integrated performance management system.

13. On the importance and difficulty of aligning incentives / one country example Stated objectives Measurable targets:
Reduce average length of stay
Reduce acute care beds
Increase bed occupancy
14. Focus on economical and financial indicators rather than quality
Don't use the word performance in Estonia. This word is mostly understood by the stakeholders and politicians as financial balance and economical sustainability. What matters for them is 1) finance, 2) volume of services (and waiting list), and 3) complaints (scandals in newspapers).
Focus on long-term survival and access to scarce resource
The strategic priority is to survive in a difficult environment with less funding and more waiting time -- Supervisory board are essentially interested on financial and economical issues; they do not interfere in quality issue. The only quality discussed by supervisory board are volume and bed use
With competition,
Either define a unique competitive advantage
Either compete on all fronts to maximise volume
with the competition, are we supposed to increase our volume or to do what we are supposed to do and cooperate with primary care?
In this context, build reputation on quality of care, scrutinized by supervisory board: volume, prices and patient satisfactionFocus on economical and financial indicators rather than quality

15. Health promotion in hospitals Health promotion: the process of enabling to increase control over and to improve their health (Ottawa Charter for health promotion)
Aims at improving the health of hospital patients both
by improving the quality of hospital services
and by offering additional services when necessary
Strategies for all target groups aim at improving
self management of health (including health / disease literacy, lifestyles etc.)
the co-production of health
the health impact of the hospital setting
at supporting communities to improve their health impacts on the target groups.
Increasing prevalence of lifestyle related disease requires a more expended scope and systematic provision of activities such as education, effective communication strategies to enable patients to take an active role in chronic disease management or motivational counselling
This concept aims at improving the health of hospital patients, staff and the community population, both by means of improving the quality of hospital services, and by offering additional services where necessary. Strategies for all target groups aim at improving self management of health (including health / disease literacy, lifestyles etc.), improving the co-production of health, at improving the health impact of the hospital setting, and at supporting communities to improve their health impacts on the target groups.

Cross-setting clinical care pathways (Belgium and Slovenia)
Establish function for coordination and early discharge preparation (e.g. case manager, discharge planer)
Monitor readmissions
Understand reasons for delayed discharge
Undertake surveys among other care providers
Collaboration agreements with other care providers
Cross training programs for GPs, home nurses, etc.
Again directly link to Enis
