1 Australian pricing models: understanding the NEP and NEC Sarah Neville, Ph.D. Executive Director, Data Analytics Samuel Webster, Ph.D. Director, Pricing

2 Outline Australian context and IHPA NEP versus NEC why two models? National Efficient Price National Efficient Cost 2

3 Australian Context and IHPA 3

4 Australian context IHPA determines the National Efficient Price annually FFFFFFFFFFFFFF = (PPPPPPPPPP VVVVVVVVVVVV) Commonwealth funding is provided by the National Health Funding Body to the hospital 4 States and territories determine the volume and distribution of services

5 The Independent Hospital Pricing Authority (IHPA) IHPA designs the pricing system to promote safe, efficient healthcare for all Australians Independent of all governments Can not be directed on pricing Governed by a 9 member board Established under the National Health Reform Act as playing a key role in the national implementation of Activity Based Funding (ABF) Strong consultation and transparency agenda Determines the National Efficient Price (NEP) and National Efficient Cost (NEC) annually 5

6 Activity based funding a requirement of Commonwealth funding for hospitals National Health Reform Agreement is signed by all First Ministers. This agreement outlines the establishment of IHPA Sixth NEP was established for NEP17 at $4,910 Fifth NEC was established for NEC17 at $5.406 M First National Efficient Price (NEP) was established for NEP12 at $4,808 First National Efficient Cost (NEC) was established for NEC13 at $4.738 M

8 NEP versus NEC: Why two models? 8

9 Why two models? ABF does not work for all hospitals Economies of scale Criteria for block funding ensures that only smaller hospitals are eligible 9

10 NEP versus NEC NEP NEC Model Patient based Hospital based No. hospitals ~ Total expenditure ~ $30 billion ~ $2 billion Data quality Good Fair (at hospital level) Funding flow Commonwealth to LHN Commonwealth to state 10

11 National Efficient Price 11

12 What? Statistical modelling Statisticians How? Why? Develop NEP to drive efficiency and improve transparency Actuaries Analysis of activity and cost data Consultation with stakeholders Economists Mathematicians Collaboration with other teams 12

26 Cost per NWAU A hospital or LHN s cost per NWAU measures actual cost adjusted for casemix This allows hospitals providing vastly different services to be compared fairly also known as benchmarking Cost per NWAU is influenced by both length of stay and the inherent cost profile of a hospital/lhn 26

30 Outline NEC Why not ABF? Pricing development Future directions 30

31 Why not ABF? 31

32 The Commonwealth will fund hospital services better funded through block grants, including relevant services in rural and regional communities NHRA A1(c) 32

33 Background Supporting remote communities Health service gaps Employment Transparent funding Flexibility 33

34 Health Reform and IHPA The efficient cost will be determined annually by the IHPA to ensure the Local Hospital Network has the appropriate capacity to deliver the relevant block funded services and functions. NHRA A4 34

35 Hospitals or Services? Technical requirements for ABF can not be satisfied Absence of economies of scale or lack of financial viability 35

36 Pricing Development 36

37 Challenges 400+ block funded hospitals 280 ABF hospitals $2 billion in expenditure $30 billion for ABF Outside metro and regional hubs varied services 37
