3. Process of the Rwandan PBF National Model Creation • Three PBF pilot programs: • Cyangugu PBF pilot by NGO Cordaid 2002 onwards • Butare PBF pilot by NGO HNI-TPO 2002 onwards • Kigali Ngali PBF pilot by bilateral cooperation agency BTC 2005 start • End 2005/early 2006: process to create one common national model for Health Centers and Hospitals • Series of information meetings and workshops with stakeholders at the national level • 2 day workshop in January 2006 • 4 day team ‘extended team retreat’ January 2006 • 4 day workshop with all partners February 2006 for the design of a national model for Health Centers • 2 day workshop with partners July 2006 to design the national PBF model for District Hospitals

4. Indicators? (i) • Cyangugu Model 2002-2005: • Project covered 620,000 people • Fee for Service/Case based Reimbursement type of incentive payment • Budget approximately $2/c/yr • $0.5 to $0.75/c/yr for program costs • $0.41/c/yr for health center output payments • $0.84 to $1.09 for district hospital output payments • Covering 4 DH and 26 health facilities (with 14 health posts and 19 private dispensaries as second tier contractees) • 20 indicators at the health center ranging $0.09 to $5.40 • 18 indicators at the hospitals ranging $1.07 to $26.80

5. Indicators? (i) • Cyangugu Model 2002-2005: • District Health Team contracted for performance-based supervision • ‘Bonus’ for excellent quality and good community client survey results which included clients satisfaction and amount of out of pocket payments (15% additional) • Business Plans • Community Client Satisfaction Surveys • NGO is purchaser and controller (“fund holder”) • Written purchase contracts with second tier contracts by prime contractees • Public; FBOs and Private for Profit Sector

6. Indicators? (ii) • Butare PBF model 2002-2005 • Project covering 384,209 population • Fee for Service/Case based Reimbursement type of incentive payment • 36 health centers and, later, 3 district hospitals • Budget $0.24/c/yr of which $0.09 for program costs • 4 community outreach indicators ranging $0.18 and $8.93 • 23 health center indicators ranging $0.07 and $6.25 • 19 district hospital indicators ranging $0.36 and $14.30 • 9 performance indicators for the district health teams • “Quality” not taken into account purposefully • Steering Committee with NGO as secretariat/TA • Written contracts (three levels)

7. Indicators? (iii) • Kigali Ngali Model 2005- • 1.4 million catchment population • 75 health centers and three district hospitals • ‘Tacit’ (verbal) agreements • Value of indicators mitigated by composite indicators being met (‘quantity * “quality”’) and expressed in ‘points’ and not in money (available budget spent 100%) • Part of a larger traditional health project, ‘input’ financing with $1.57/c/yr funds, of which $0.08/c/yr for PBF • 22 composite indicators at health center level ranging $0.18 and $5.36 • 48 composite indicators at district hospital level ranging -$44.50 (penalty) to $44.50 • 31 composite indicators for the district health team • Bilateral agency with PIU inside MOH department

8. Initial National Health Center Model(s) • National Health Center Model 2006 – December 2007 • Covering 6.51 M population (entire 23 district population) • Seven control districts • About 258 health centers • “Contracting In” approach • Fee for Service/Case Based Reimbursement • 16 primary health indicators (2008: 14) ranging $0.09 to $4.46 • 15 HIV service indicators (2008: 10) ranging $0.47 to $8.90 • 10 districts singular PMA indicators; 23 districts singular HIV indicators; • 13 districts ‘composite’ PMA indicators

9. Initial National Health Center Model(s) • National Health Center Model 2006 – December 2007 • In 10 districts: Quarterly Quality Supervisory Checklist 185 composite indicators across 13 services (excluding HIV services) • till end 2006 > 70% composite score = 100%, >40% <70%= 50%, <40% = 25%; after Jan 2007 linear relationship: • Performance measure HCearnings = (Quantity * Unit Fees) * Quarterly Composite Quality Measure • In 13 districts no Quarterly Quality Supervisory Checklist, but ‘composites’ for each indicator with Value = (Quantity * “% Composite Score” * Unit Fee) • “Contracting in” type of intervention: three levels of contracts/agreements, creation of quasi market: GOR contracting with its own and FBO facilities (and in five districts with private for profit sector also)

10. Initial National District Hospital PBF Model(s) • National DH PBF model: July 2006 to December 2007: • 52 composite indicators with ‘point values’ • Budget allocated 20% administration; 30% quality assurance and 50% clinical activities in 13 hospitals • Budget allocated $602/bed/yr • Budget allocated according to budget available (variable point score = available budget gets consumed 100%) in 14 hospitals • Budget allocated $35K to $130K per hospital per year based on number of staff

11. 2007 PBF Disbursements (23 Districts)

12. New National Health Center Model • New National Health Center Model Jan 2008- • 405 health centers (since April 1, 2008) • 9.5 M population • Fee for Service/Case Based Reimbursement conditional on ‘validation’ criteria (composites) for basic health services (compromise) but no ‘validation’ criteria for HIV services • Revised Quarterly Quality Supervisory Checklist with 118 composite indicators across 13 services, including HIV services • Performance measure: • PMA HCearnings = (((Quantity * ‘% Validated’) * Unit Fees) * Quarterly Composite Quality Measure) • HIV HCearnings = ((Quantity * Unit Fees) * Quarterly Composite Quality Measure)

13. New National DH PBF Model • New National District Hospital PBF model: Jan 2008- • 52 composite indicators • All 39 Rwandan district hospitals • Available budget from all sources pooled and modeled 20% administration; 25% supervision and 55% clinical activities • Administration 200 ‘points’ with varying point values $11.40 to $69.96 depending on ‘index burden’ (staff) • Supervision 295 ‘points’ with varying points values depending on the number of health centers to be supervised with budget of $3,181/HC/yr • Clinical Activities with one point value of $13.5, and 18 ‘categories’ (DRG look-a-likes), indicator values ranging $1.34 to $8.34 • All indicators subject to composites.. • Annual global prospective budgets ranging from $54K to $330K
