M.Sc (N)

Page 1
INTRODUCTION
• Successful case management relies on
critical pathway to guide care
• Critical pathway refers to the expected
outcomes and care strategies developed
by collaborative practice team

Page 2
HOW TO DEFINE..
• Critical paths are guides that outline the
critical or key events expected to happen
each day of patient’s hospitalization
-Cohen & Cesta,2001

Page 3
HOW TO DEFINE..(2)
• Critical pathways are one method of
planning, assessing, implementing and
evaluating the cost- effectiveness of
patient care

Page 4
HOW TO DEFINE..(3)
• A series of methods and instruments to
allign member of the interdisciplinary and
interprofessionally team for the care of the
pre defined patient population in order to
realize an efficient, patient centered, coordinated program of care
-Sermeus &
Vanhaecht,2002

WHAT ARE ITS FEATURES..
•
•
•
•
•
•

Predetermined course of progress
Variance analysis
Fiscal planning
Directing
Orientation
Identifies outcome

Page 7
WHAT DOES IT CONTAINS..
•
•
•
•

Specific medical diagnosis
The expected length of stay
Patient identification data
Appropriate time frames (in days, hours,
minutes or visits) for intervention
• Patient outcomes
• Interventions presented in modality
groups ( medications, nursing activity & so on)
• Nursing diagnosis

Page 8
What it is actually….
• Clinical tools that organize, sequence and time
the major interventions of the nursing staff,
physicians, for a particular case type, condition,
diagnostic category or nursing diagnosis
• Describe an institutions collective standard of
practice, clinical budget

Page 9
What it is actually….
• Provides direction and predictability to
patient care and to caregivers interacting
in that case
• Shows something that must occur in the
sequence before one may proceed.

Page 10
COMPONENTS
• Clinical Pathways have four main components
(Hill, 1994, Hill 1998):
1. a timeline
2. the categories of care or activities and their
interventions
3. intermediate and long term outcome criteria
4. and the variance record

Page 11
How to develop critical pathway
Professional involved….
• Physician
• Nurse manager
• Staff nurse
• Social worker
• Dietician
• Occupational therapist
• pharmacist
Page 12
How to develop critical pathway
• Retrospective chart review or concurrent
chart review
• identify costs associated with the
treatment
• Pathway development teams are
organized to develop the tool

Page 13
How to develop critical pathway
• Patient care expectations and critical events are
identified for incorporation into the path
• Small groups within the development to refine
the elements of the path

Page 14
How to develop critical pathway
• Newly developed tools can be tested on
previously admitted patient
• Implementation with collaboration with
other professionals

Page 15

HEALTH CARE REFORMS

Page 24
INTRODUTION
• Health care reform is a general rubric
used for discussing major health policy
creation or changes for the most part,
governmental policy that affects health
care delivery in a given place

Page 25
Introduction
• Despite various development plans, lack
of or inadequate basic infrastructure, both
social and physical, continues to remain a
major constraint to progress in many parts
of our country

Page 26
Definition
• Health care Reform is defined as a
sustained, purposeful change to improve
the efficiency, equity and effectiveness of
the health sector’
-(Berman 1995).

Page 27
AIMS
• Broader the population that receives
health care coverage
• Improve the access to health care
specialists
• Improve the quality of health care
• Decrease the cost of health care

Page 28
Reform strategies
• alternative financing (user-fees, health insurance,
community financing, private sector investment)
• institutional management (autonomy to hospitals,
monitoring and management by local government
agencies, contracting)
• public sector reforms (civil service reforms, capacity
building, productivity improvement); and
• collaboration with the private sector (public/private
partnerships, joint ventures)

Page 29
A.N.A PROPOSA L FOR
HEALTH CARE REFORM

• Health care delivery system restructuring
• Universally available standard health care
package
• Phase in of services, initial emphasis on
pregnancy and children
• Changes to reflect changing national
demographics

Page 30
A.N.A PROPOSA L FOR
HEALTH CARE REFORM
•
•
•
•
•

Long term care coverage
Insurance reform
System review and evaluation
Case managed health care
Decreased health care costs.

Page 31
Health care reforms in various
countries

Page 32
THE NETHERLANDS
• Health care insurance based on risk equalization
• compulsory insurance package is available to all
citizens at affordable cost without the need for
the issued to be accessed for risk
• Health insurers are now willing to take on high
risk individuals because they receive
compensation for the higher risks

Page 33
RUSSIA
• Compulsory medical insurance with privately
owned providers in addition to state run
institutions
• Health care reforms in 2011 allocate more than
300 billion rubles to improve health care in
country
• Medical insurance tax paid by companies for
compulsory medical insurance will increase from
current 3.1% to 5.1% from 2011

Page 34
TAIWAN
• Taiwan changed the health care system
in1995 to National Health Insurance model
• As a result 40% who had been previously
uninsured are now covered
• 72.5% are happy about it, but they are
unhappy about the cost of premium ($20/
month)

Page 35
UNITED KINGDOM
• Private sector health care is quiet small (15%)
• Focus is on prevention of ill health
• Baby formula milk fortified with vitamins and
minerals to improve the health of the children
• Measles, mumps & chicken pox were mostly
eradicated with national programs of vaccination

Page 36
UNITED STATES
• 17% of GDP is spent on health care, but 77% of
Americans have at least one chronic disease
• U.S ranks 31st in life expectancy and 40th in child
mortality
• Health care system ranks 37th among nations
• Therefore the reforms are concentrating on
reducing the cost of health care rather than on
improving outcomes

Page 37
Page 38
UNITED STATES
• The mixed public private health care system in
U.S is the most expensive in the world
• Greater portion of GDP is spent on it
• According to 2008 common wealth fund report,
U.S ranks last in the quality of health care
among developed countries
• WHO,2000 ranked U.S health care system 37th in
overall performance & 72th by overall level of
health

Page 39
UNITED STATES…
• U.S Government provides health care to
just over 25% of its citizens through
various agencies but otherwise does not
employ a system
• Health care is generally centered around
regulated private insurance methods

Page 40
GERMANY
• Sickness fund- but able to opt out if they
have a very high salary

Page 41
SWISS
• Use more of privately based health
insurance system where citizen are risk
rated by age and sex, among other factors

HEALTH IN INDIA

Page 43
INDIAN SCENERIO
• 37% of Indian population is undernourished
• 55% have a diet which is calorie sufficient but
nutrient deficient
• 8% is over nourished
• Total imbalance of nutrition leads to anemia, TB
and many disease which increases the disease
burden

Page 44
INDIAN SCENERIO…
• Arthritis. HT, DM, CVD, cancer and elderly
increases the disease burden
• 65% of Indian population lives in rural areas
while only 2% qualified medical doctors are
available
• Government spending on Health care continues
to be one of the lowest in the world

Page 45
INDIAN SCENERIO…
• Penetration of Med claim is currently done by
state-owned insurance companies, covering only
about 2.5 million people i.e. less than 0.50% of
the country’s population

Page 46
INDIAN SCENERIO…
• Report on National Commission on Macroeconomic and
Health, 2005
Households undertook nearly three- fourths of all
health spending
Public spending was only 22%
Public private health spending ratio :
 In India-1:4
 In China- 2:3
 In Pakistan- 1:3

Page 47
Indian health care is expected to double between 2009 and 2012.

• World Bank (2004) estimated that at independence the
private sector in India had 8% of health care facilities.
Today 93% of all hospitals, 64 %of beds, 80-85% of
doctors, 90% of out patients and 60% of inpatient are in
private sector.
• Private health sector has over 71,000 crore market in
India
• The CII McKinsey report of 2004 expects it to grow to
156,000 crore by 2012

Page 51
Reasons for lack of access to
Govt facilities
• Better availability
• Convenience
• Perceived quality of private care

GOI is adopting alternative means
of financing such as seeking loans from the
World Bank and other international financing
institutions to upgrade and manage the labour
welfare and health programs (such as National
Family Welfare Program and Employee State
Health Insurance Scheme) in the country

Page 56
ESTABLISHMENT OF CORPORATE
HOSPITALS
• GOI has encouraged the establishment of corporate
hospitals in order to improve the quality of healthcare.
• These corporate hospitals have tie-ups with most
insurance companies and large business organizations
to provide superior healthcare for the employees.
• Eg: Apollo Hospital chain, Escorts Hospital, Tata
Memorial Hospital, Max Healthcare, and Fortis Hospital
chain from Ranbaxy

Page 57
Employee health care reform in
India
• Economic reforms was launched in India in 1991
• In addition to the involvement of the public and
private sector corporations, various government,
international and multi-lateral health agencies,
and other private stakeholders such as private
health insurers got involved in the reform
process.

Page 58
Social Insurance Scheme
• Covers only 3% of population
• Employees State Insurance Scheme
(ESIS)
• Central Government Health Scheme

• ESI provides six social security
benefits to employees:
1. Medical benefit
2. sickness benefit
3. maternity benefit
4. disablement benefit
5.dependant’s benefit
6. funeral expenses
Page 60
ESIC
• Insurance system which provides both cash and
medical benefits
• Spread over 677 centers in 25 states & union
territories across India, covering 7.8 million
employees and more than 25 million
beneficiaries

Page 61
Public Private Partnership
• means to bring together a set of actors for the
common goal of improving the health of a
population based on the mutually agreed roles
and principles
-WHO 1999

Page 62
Public Private Partnership
• Entrusting Health Centers to NGO
Special features:

 PHC and CHCs handed over to
NGOs
 Finances managed by Govt.
Operations managed by NGO

Page 63
It is employed in

• purchase and distribution of drugs in bulk
• contracting specialists for high risk pregnancies
• national disease control programs
• adoption and management of primary health centers
• contracting out medical education and training
• engaging private sector consultants
• Telemedicine
• Contracting out of Information, Education &
Communication (IEC) services
Page 64
Community based Participatory
research
• Medical officers to use community based
participatory research to partner with
community and develop, test and
disseminate programs that they can
sustain and improve health.

Page 65

• Check up
• Referrals
• Preventive measures
• Treatment
• Submission of report
• Remedial measures

Page 80
MEDICAL TOURISM
• India is a popular destination for medical tourist
who receive effective medical treatment at lower
costs than in developed countries
• As the Indian healthcare delivery system strives
to match international standards the Indian
healthcare industry will be able to tap into a
substantial portion of the medical tourism market

Page 81
MEDICAL TOURISM
• Reduced costs, access to the latest
medical technology, growing compliance
to international quality standards and ease
of communication all work towards India’s
advantage

Page 82
MEDICAL TOURISM
•

A recent CII-McKinsey study on healthcare says Medical
Tourism alone can contribute Rs. 5,000-10,000 crores
additional revenue for tertiary hospitals by 2012, and will
account for 3-5 per cent of the total healthcare delivery
market.
• What India needs to do is to strengthen basic
infrastructure like Airports, Power, Roads etc. to support
these initiatives.

Page 83
PROBLEMS
• lack of sufficient evidence based
information about, and the impactassessment of various initiatives
• Providing employee health insurance
cover is not a mandatory requirement in
the private sector in India till now

Page 84
PROBLEMS
• Local authorities have been given
authorities to implement national
programmes but there is no financial
authority
