MCC Objectives: Population health 78-4 Administration of effective
health programs at the population levelRationale: • Knowing the organization of the health care
and public health systems in Canada as well as how to determine the most cost-effective interventions are becoming key elements of clinical practice. Physicians also must work well in multidisciplinary teams within the current system in order to achieve the maximum health benefit for all patients and residents.

MCC Objectives: Population health 78-4 Administration of effective
health programs at the population levelEnabling objectives (1)• Describe at a basic level:
– methods of regulation of the health professions and health care institutions;– supply, distribution and projections of health human resources; – health resource allocation; – organization of the Public Health system; and – the role of complementary delivery systems such as voluntary organizations
and community health centres.• Describe the role of regulated and non-regulated health care providers and
demonstrate how to work effectively with them. • Outline the principles of and approaches to cost containment and economic
evaluation.• Describe the main functions of public health related to population health
assessment, health surveillance, disease and injury prevention, health promotion and health protection.
• Demonstrate an understanding of ethical issues involved in resource allocation.

MCC Objectives: Population health 78-4 Administration of effective
health programs at the population levelEnabling objectives (2)• Define the concepts of efficacy, effectiveness, efficiency,
coverage and compliance and discuss their relationship to the overall effectiveness of a population health program.
• Be able to recognize the need to adjust programs in order to meet the needs of special populations such as new immigrants or persons at increased risk.
• Participate effectively in and with health organizations, ranging from individual clinical practices to provincial organizations, exerting a positive influence on clinical practice and policy-making.
• Define quality improvement and related terms: quality assurance, quality control, continuous quality improvement, quality management, total quality management; audit.
• Describe and understand the multiple dimensions of quality in health care, i.e. what can and should be improved.

Events Post 1984
• 2001: Kirby & Romanow commissions– Attempts to reform the health care system– Focus on long term sustainability
• 2005: Chaoulli decision (Quebec)– Controversial interpretation of the CHA in regards to banning of
private clinics.
• 2012 Drummond report (Ontario)– Emphasis on home care
![Page 9: Back to Basics, 2012 POPULATION HEALTH : Health Care Organization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814e4e550346895dbbd9a3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Canada Health Act PrinciplesPublic administration Administered for non profit and
accountable to a provincial government
Comprehensive All medical necessary services provided by hospitals, medical practitioners
Universal All insured persons have equal coverage
Accessible Reasonable access without financial and other barriers
Portable Coverage between provinces
![Page 10: Back to Basics, 2012 POPULATION HEALTH : Health Care Organization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814e4e550346895dbbd9a3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Problems with the Canada Health Act
• Only partial coverage– Physician services in and out of hospital only– What is “medically necessary”– Only those “provided by hospitals”– Not all hospitals must provide all services
• Does not legislate which services must be provided– Only that federal government will not provide funding
if conditions not met• Impact of other legislation
– Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom
![Page 11: Back to Basics, 2012 POPULATION HEALTH : Health Care Organization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814e4e550346895dbbd9a3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Ways of organizing a system
• Publicly financed and provided– UK (?), Scandinavia
• Insurance based system for all– Tax based - Canada – Compulsory premiums - Japan
• Insurance based system for some– US– Wouldn’t meet requirements of Canada Health Act
• Purely private– Mainly underdeveloped countries– Wouldn’t meet requirements of Canada Health Act
![Page 12: Back to Basics, 2012 POPULATION HEALTH : Health Care Organization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814e4e550346895dbbd9a3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Some Data
• 2010: total health care expenditures were $5,614/person or about $192billion, 11.7% of GDP down from 2009 (SIM web link)
• 70% from public sector (45% in the USA)• 29% spent on hospitals, 18% on drugs, 14%
on MDs• Research shows that private-for-profit care
is more expensive (and potentially less effective)
![Page 13: Back to Basics, 2012 POPULATION HEALTH : Health Care Organization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814e4e550346895dbbd9a3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Methods of paying doctors (SIM web link)
• Fee-for-service: unit is services. Incentive to provide many services, especially procedures.
• Capitation: unit is patient. Fixed payment per patient. Incentive to keep people healthy, but not to make yourself accessible.
• Salary: unit is time. Productivity depends on professionalism and institutional controls– Practice plans
• Combinations of above, e.g., "blended funding“– Family health networks (Ontario)
![Page 14: Back to Basics, 2012 POPULATION HEALTH : Health Care Organization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814e4e550346895dbbd9a3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Methods for paying hospitals
• Line-by-line: separate payments for staff, supplies, etc. Cumbersome, rigid.
• Global budget: fixed payment to be used as hospital sees fit. Fails to recognize differences in case mix.
• Case-Mix weighted: payment for total cost of episode, greater for more complicated cases. Now used in Canada.
• New technology: OHTAC reviews requests. If approved, government pays. If declined, hospitals can pay for it from core budget.

24
Role of Federal Government
• General responsibility for international health, public health, aboriginal health, etc.
• Funding: has the greatest taxing power• Its provision of funding allows it to enforce
the Canada Health Act, despite its lack of constitutional authority...
• Reductions in federal contributions have reduced its influence
![Page 25: Back to Basics, 2012 POPULATION HEALTH : Health Care Organization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814e4e550346895dbbd9a3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Role of Provincial Governments
• Responsibility for health (and most other expensive services) lies with the provinces
• Provinces provide most of the funding for health services
• Therefore, they are the main decision-makers: hospitals, public health, etc.
![Page 26: Back to Basics, 2012 POPULATION HEALTH : Health Care Organization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814e4e550346895dbbd9a3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Decision Making in Ontario (1)

![Page 27: Back to Basics, 2012 POPULATION HEALTH : Health Care Organization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814e4e550346895dbbd9a3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Decision Making in Ontario (2)
• Drugs – Ontario covers prescriptions for approx 20% of
population• Welfare recipients• Over 65
– Decision on what drugs to fund influenced by Committee to Evaluate Drugs• Based on level of evidence• Cost effectiveness
![Page 28: Back to Basics, 2012 POPULATION HEALTH : Health Care Organization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814e4e550346895dbbd9a3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Decision Making in Ontario (4)
• Politics– Many decisions are politically motivated not
necessarily evidence based or efficient• HPV vaccine• Newborn screening• Preoperative use of EPO
![Page 31: Back to Basics, 2012 POPULATION HEALTH : Health Care Organization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814e4e550346895dbbd9a3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

78.1: MEDICAL ECONOMICS (1)
• Define the socio-economic rationales, implications and consequences of medical care– Medical care has impact on costs to society;
both financial and other (non monetary) resources.
– This objective aims to raise awareness of these types of issues.
![Page 32: Back to Basics, 2012 POPULATION HEALTH : Health Care Organization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814e4e550346895dbbd9a3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
MEDICAL ECONOMICS (2)
• Does effective medical care reduce health care spending?
• How do we value non-fiscal benefits such as quality of life, ‘health’, not being dead?
• Should resources be spent on health or other societal objectives?
• How do we value non-traditional expenditures, etc which impact on health (Healthy Public Policy).
![Page 33: Back to Basics, 2012 POPULATION HEALTH : Health Care Organization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814e4e550346895dbbd9a3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Principles of cost-containment
• Three approaches to improve cost effectiveness of health care delivery– Eliminate ineffective care– Reduce costs of effective care
• Substitute cheaper but equally effective care,– day surgery for hospital admission, – nurse practitioners for some primary care, – generic drugs
• Reduce unit costs– reduce salaries (risk of reduced effectiveness) or fees (but quantity
provided may increase)
– Adopt only new interventions that are cost effective

Acknowledgements
• The economic analysis was funded by a grant from the Public Health Agency of Canada to the Canadian Paediatric Society.
![Page 43: Back to Basics, 2012 POPULATION HEALTH : Health Care Organization](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814e4e550346895dbbd9a3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Methods• Analysis was conducted through a Markov model which
follows a cohort of children each month from birth to 5 years.
• Analysis uses pertinent data on the natural history of rotavirus and the effects of vaccination.
• Estimates of heath care costs for children requiring hospitalizations and Emergency Department visits were derived from the IMPACT surveillance and emergency department studies and other Canadian studies.
• The model estimates the effect of vaccination on costs and quality adjusted life years (QALYs).

Conclusions
• From a societal perspective, a universal vaccination program against rotavirus will be both cost saving and more effective than no vaccination assuming there are limited additional costs of administration.
• From a health care system perspective, a program would not be considered cost effective at current vaccine costs– Reducing the costs of the vaccine by 50% would make
vaccination cost effective
