Future Challenges

6

Cost-effectiveness Analysis and Health System Planning: Problems with Where we are Today

• Insufficient attention to the instruments of policy

• Insufficient attention to the platforms that carry interventions

• Insufficient attention to non-incremental interventions

(focus is on ICER)

7

Cost-effectiveness Analysis and Health System Planning: Problems with Where we are Today

• Insufficient attention to urgency of intervention

• Failure to consider financial risk protection

• Limited consideration of health system capacity constraints

8

Instruments of Policy

• IEC

• Taxes and subsidies

• Regulation and legislation

• Direct finance (number and location of providers)

• R&D

9

Intervention Delivery Platforms

• Primary Care

• Hospitals

• Public Health

• Inter-sectoral

• Support

10

District Hospital

11

Medical and pediatric service TB treatment; AMI and stroke treatment, IMCI for severe cases, complicate malaria

Surgical, obstetric and trauma service Delivery, trauma, other ‘essential” surgical services

Specialized Hospitals

12

Multi-specialty referral hospital As for district hospital but also a broad range of more complex cases

Single specialty hospitals Psychiatric, TB, cancer, obstetric fistula repair

Support Platforms

13

Platform Examples

1. Disease, risk factor and demographic NHANES; DHS; Censuses; Sentinal surveillance surveillance systems

2. Education and training of health Medical, dental and nursing schools;

professionals in-service training

3. Monitoring and evaluation of Effective coverage surveysInterventions, expenditures and (commencing); appropriate

household consequences of ill-health surveys

4. R&D Basic scientific to operational research; product

development and evaluation

5.Insurance systems Mandatory health insurance in almost all countries of OECD

Analyzing the burden of a health problem to identify control and research needs

14

Temporal Character of Interventions

15

Temporal Character Examples

1. Urgent

2. Moderately time sensitive

3. Not time sensitive

4. Ongoing

• C-Section for obstructed labor• Malaria treatment• AMI treatment

• Immunization• TB Treatment

• Elective surgery (cataract replacement; obstetric fibula repair)

• Dietary and other behavioral change• Medical management of AIDS,

vascular risk, diabetes, psychiatric disorders
