This book was released on 2024-03-11 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been significant interest globally in understanding how purchasing arrangements can be designed strategically to optimize the delivery of health services. Given the growing burden of chronic diseases worldwide and the costs they are likely to impose on health systems, it is imperative that health services for chronic diseases are purchased in a way that contributes to the objectives of universal health coverage, including improved quality, and ultimately achieves better health outcomes. This paper explores the role of purchasing arrangements in improving the quality of chronic disease care. Specifically, the paper provides an overview and summary of the types of payment methods that have been used, summarizes evidence of their effectiveness in improving the quality of chronic care and assesses the enablers and barriers to the implementation of purchasing reforms. For that matter, a scoping review of the peer-reviewed literature was conducted, focusing on payment methods that seek to improve the quality of chronic disease care published. The lessons from these payment initiatives implemented to improve the quality of chronic disease care, mainly from HICs, suggest that they are a promising tool but, nonetheless, the quality and equity aspects need more attention in terms of the design of such initiatives as well as in terms of evidence generation. The significant information technology infrastructure and resources required to implement such arrangements potentially limit their applicability in low-resource settings.

Download or read book Scoping review on alternative purchasing arrangements written by Cassandra Simmons and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scoping review aimed to identify alternative purchasing arrangements (apart from fee for service [FFS] and pay for performance [P4P]) and their associated service delivery models that countries have used to improve the quality of chronic care, as well as to assess how these purchasing arrangements have impacted the quality of care. A scoping review of academic and grey literature published between 2013 and 2022 was carried out on alternative purchasing arrangements and their impact on the quality of chronic care using causal inference methods. The analytical approach consisted of clustering articles around similar purchasing arrangements or programmes, summarizing the evidence across the clusters, and highlighting the service delivery aspects and institutional design features that potentially impacted the quality of care. This research provided information to the WHO and OECD joint publication Purchasing for quality chronic care: summary report.

A suggested organizing framework to better align the incentives inherent in payment and accountability with improvements in quality. Key steps to promote evidence-based practice and strengthen clinical information systems. Analyzing health care organizations as complex systems, Crossing the Quality Chasm also documents the causes of the quality gap, identifies current practices that impede quality care, and explores how systems approaches can be used to implement change.
