Abstract:
In this special edition of the Journal, we have brought together papers with the aim of contributing to primary health care reform in Australia. The papers will stimulate further debate and increase the evidence base through which policies can be informed. Does primary health care in Australia need reform? Are there fundamental problems with the health system demanding a reform response? The challenges confronting Australia's health care system over the next decade are real and well documented (Productivity Commission, 2005; Australian Medical Workforce Advisory Committee [AMWAC], 2005). They include the ageing population and longer life expectancies, the increasing prevalence of chronic illness and co-morbidity, heightened consumer expectations, advances in health technologies and shortages in the health workforce.

Abstract:
This paper analyses recent health reform agenda in Canada. From 1988 until 1997, the first phase of reforms focused on service integration through regionalisation and a rebalancing of services from illness care to prevention and wellness. The second phase, which has been layered onto the ongoing first phase, is concerned with fiscal sustainability from a provincial perspective, and the fundamental nature of the system from a national perspective. Despite numerous commissions and studies, some questions remain concerning the future direction of the public system. The Canadian reform experience is compared with recent Australian health reform initiatives in terms of service integration through regionalisation, primary care reform, Aboriginal health, the public?private debate, intergovernmental relations and the role of the federal government.

Abstract:
In common with other Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)countries, Australia is experiencing growth in expenditure on health care. However, while many other nations continue to pursue some variation of managed competition to address these problems, Australia has chosen a more incremental reform path, with initiatives such as the General Practice Strategy, restrictions in doctor supply and coordinated care trials. This article reviews the likely effectiveness of such initiatives in the light of experience and evidence of budget-holding in achieving similar objectives overseas. It concludes that budget-holding offers a more effective strategy than current 'piecemeal' reforms to contain costs and increase efficiency within Australian health care.

Abstract:
The AHR Models of Care section aims to provide a diverse number of articles that canvas many areas of health care. In this issue, we look at transition care and mutidisciplinary case conferencing in aged care services, and a psychosocial model of care in breast cancer services. The first article by Giles et al is entitled ?The distribution of health services for older people in Australia: where does transition care fit??. The second article is ?Perceptions of multidisciplinary case conferencing in residential aged care facilities? by Halcomb et al. A case study write up of a quality assurance project is also presented ? ?The Breast Service Psychosocial Model of Care Project? by Williams and Mann. As this year draws to a close, there are multiple health care reforms occurring in Australia and abroad. One of the more dominant reforms occurring is the United States health care reform considering universal coverage of its population (among other relevant reforms). The last issue of AHR included in its Models of Care section an article highlighting some of the possible ways forward for health insurance coverage of its population. Before this time and since then, there has been ample debate and discussion around draft bills of legislation and the possible frameworks and principles that any eventual reform policy would incorporate. Likewise, in Australia, there is much occurring in health reform. The Rudd government commissioned a National Health and Hospitals Reform Commission in 2008 who provided their final report A healthier future for all Australians in June 2009.1 It has outlined 123 recommendations for long-term health care reform in Australia. The report is being dissected and discussed among the government, industry and to a lesser extent the public at large. The Rudd government?s decision to wait at least 6 months to digest the report and call for particular actions is both deliberate and strategic. Other federal government reports which have received considerable attention are Australia: the healthiest country by 2020 ? National Preventative Health Strategy,2 and a discussion paper around a future National Primary Health Care Strategy.3 The former was completed in June 2009 and released to the public in September 2009 and the discussion paper entitled Towards a National Primary Health Care Strategy was released in 2008. As of the time this Editorial is being written, a final draft National Primary Health Care Strategy has yet to be released to the public. I urge all readers of AHR to look at these documents to get a taste for the priority of reforms being discussed in the federal government. There are similarities and differences among the issues canvassed in both the US and Australian government health reform bills, policy discussion papers and reports. As in the topics of articles offered in AHR issues, areas of discussion include financing and governance, quality and safety, inequalities, health information, public versus private health, health service utilisation, workforce and many other areas concerning health care. As a key difference, Australia is not debating the universal coverage component. This is already valued among the majority of citizens in this country and has no intention of being changed. Yet, the financial structures and governance of health care in Australia are being hotly debated. A similarity among reforms in both countries is that they are largely battling with broader (and deeper) issues of ?values? and ?ideology?. It is important to distinguish this from the particulars of any report or bill of legislation and acknowledge that both countries are at important crossroads. Watch this space.

Abstract:
Health system changes may increase primary health care workers’ dilemmatic space, created when reforms contravene professional values. Dilemmatic space may be a risk factor for burnout. This study partnered with six Australian primary health care services (in South Australia: four state government–managed services including one Aboriginal health team and one non-government organisation and in Northern Territory: one Aboriginal community–controlled service) during a period of change and examined workers’ dilemmatic space and incidence of burnout. Dilemmatic space and burnout were assessed in a survey of 130 staff across the six services (58% response rate). Additionally, 63 interviews were conducted with practitioners, managers, regional executives and health department staff. Dilemmatic space occurred across all services and was associated with higher rates of self-reported burnout. Three conditions associated with dilemmatic space were (1) conditions inherent in comprehensive primary health care, (2) stemming from service provision for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and (3) changes wrought by reorientation to selective primary health care in South Australia. Responses to dilemmatic space included ignoring directives or doing work ‘under the radar’, undertaking alternative work congruent with primary health care values outside of hours, or leaving the organisation. The findings show that comprehensive primary health care was contested and political. Future health reform processes would benefit from considering alignment of changes with staff values to reduce negative effects of the reform and safeguard worker wellbeing.

Abstract:
Inefficiencies in the co-ordination and integration of primary and secondary care services in Australia, have led to increases in waiting times, unnecessary presentations to emergency departments and issues around poor discharge of patients. HealthPathways is a program developed in Canterbury, New Zealand, that builds relationships between General Practitioners and Specialists and uses information technology so that efficiency is maximised and the right patient is given the right care at the right time. Healthpathways is being implemented by a number of Medicare Locals across Australia however, little is known about the impact HealthPathways may have in Australia. This article provides a short description of HealthPathways and considers what it may offer in the Australian context and some of the barriers and facilitators to implementation. What is known about the topic? Early evidence on HealthPathways suggests that the program does seem to be strengthening relationships between GPs and secondary care specialists. In New Zealand advances in efficiency and system integration have been noted. However, there is limited evidence on the effectiveness of HealthPathways in Australia. What does this paper add? It is one of the first published papers to provide a perspective around HealthPathways and draws existing evidence and research to explore some of the barriers and facilitators to the development and implementation of HealthPathways in Australia. What are the implications for practitioners’? Early evidence suggests HealthPathways could help GPs and other practitioners’ in the delivery of health services, it could also help to strengthen practitioner relationships.

Abstract:
THE ?SUBSTANTIAL PRIVATE SECTOR?1 ROLE in Australian health care has sometimes given rise to fears of ?Americanisation? of the Australian health care system, particularly in the media. For example, in 2000 Kenneth Davidson wrote, ?The USstyle health financing route being taken by the Howard Government is mad and bad.?2 The US system is the ?leading example? of ?inferior system performance?3 and is often viewed as a system to be feared and avoided. Despite spending far more per capita than any other country on health care, the United States nonetheless fails to provide equitable health care for everyone. The system is ?a paradox of excess and deprivation?,4 spending far more than other systems without providing adequate care and treatment for all. Although the US system is seen as frightening in Australia, broad historical and political similarities such as the ?strong?5 role and ?long history?5 of private insurance and powerful, vocal physicians? groups1,5 make the Australian experience a useful comparative one for US policymakers. As Altman and Jackson note, the US system will probably not develop into a fully public system, but a system combining private and public aspects along the lines of the Australian model is possible.5 Furthermore, while politicians in the US at the state and local levels have attempted to address the issue of universal or near-universal coverage for some time, previous efforts sought to expand coverage using existing programs instead of establishing a new system.6 More recently, the state of Massachusetts and the county (municipality) of San Francisco have introduced near-universal health care programs. Although introduced nearly simultaneously, their development processes and structures differ. In addition, the Massachusetts plan in particular was viewed as a potential model for future sub-national and possibly national health reforms. Thus, this short paper examines the two plans as two different approaches to health care reform in the US and compares them to the Australian system, asking the question whether or not current reform efforts in the US make the system more like that in Australia, or are likely to do so in the future.

Australian Journal of Primary Health 13, no. 2 (2007): 38. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/py07022.

Full text
Abstract:
The need for reform of primary care is driven by health system inequity, inefficiency, sub-optimal quality of care and outcomes. In Australia, there has been no systematic analysis of the relevance and applicability of international reforms of differing models of primary care delivery and the implications for addressing these issues in the local context. We used a narrative review and synthesis approach to analyse evidence from four English-speaking comparator countries (New Zealand, Canada, United Kingdom, United States of America) and one European country (Netherlands). In this review the term "primary care" refers to the system of health care workers (predominantly general practice, nursing and allied health professionals) who provide locally-based first contact care in the community setting. The existing international evidence does not support the adoption of any specific model of primary care delivery that is suitable to the Australian context. However, the evidence does suggest four key mechanisms that should form the basis of future reform. This includes the funding of GP services, quality and performance frameworks, stronger regional structures to support primary care, and investment in practice infrastructure. This paper provides an overview of the review methods and findings. A full report and in-depth discussion of findings are available from http://www.anu.edu.au/aphcri/Domain/PHCModels/index.php

Abstract:
This thesis uses a policy research framework to examine the development, implementation and evaluation of the casemix-based health care reform policies that were embedded within the 1988 and 1993 Medicare Agreements between the Commonwealth Department of Health and states and territories of Australia. Alford's (1975) conceptual framework of structural interests is used to examine the power of strategically placed interests in health care, and the barriers and challenges those interests pose to reform of the hospital system in particular. Alford (1975:14) argued that health systems must be understood in terms of the continuing struggle between the dominant structural interests (mainly doctors) and the challenging structural interests (government bureaucrats, health administrators, health planners and academic researchers) who try to reform the health system. Casemix-based hospital management information and funding systems provide tools for understanding hospital activity and costs and in doing so, provide incentives for improving efficiency and reforming clinical practice. The aims of the study were to gain a better understanding of the processes used in developing the reform policies; to explain in an analytical way, who influenced what was decided in relation to policy development and implementation; to examine the impact of the implementation of casemix-based funding policies in two Australian states from the points of view of the structural interests in health care; and to summarise the implications for future health care reform policy development m Australia. The data collection methods used for this study include depth interviews with fifteen casemix 'elites', a focused synthesis of important documents related to casemix policy, and secondary analysis of hospital activity data to evaluate the impact of casemix-based funding in the States of Victoria and South Australia. The findings clearly demonstrate that the inclusion of the casemix-based reform policies into the 1988 Medicare Agreements was a deliberate approach by the challenging structural interests to signal a new era of reform and accountability for the Australian public hospital system. The use of the Casemix Development Program as a policy instrument was seen by the stakeholders to have a positive impact in terms getting commitment to policy direction and for developing expertise in casemix-based systems, but it was criticised for a lack of research priorities and the subsequent waste of funds. Casemix-based funding systems were seen by the stakeholders to have both positive and negative aspects. Both the challenging and dominant structural interests agreed that there was an improvement in management information and financial systems, giving them better information for budget allocation and resource management. This resulted in improved hospital access and efficiency, as measured by patient throughput, length of stay and average cost per casemix-adjusted separation. The dominant structural interests found that with better information and more accountability for resource use there was an improved focus on team work and patient management. Despite these improvements, there was a belief among the dominant structural interests that quality of care had deteriorated under casemix-based funding. Negative aspects of casemix-based funding systems were seen to include a focus on technical efficiency at the expense of allocative efficiency and an emphasis on acute hospital services and throughput without consideration of the resources required for other services; particularly community services which had to deal with early discharges. Stakeholders also felt that there was increased pressure on bedside clinical staff with the increases in patient throughput and acuity, and that these pressures threatened the ability of so called teaching hospitals to adequately train health professionals and to conduct research. While the casemix-based reform policies resulted in a coalition of the challenging and dominant structural interests to improve health care delivery in Australia, there is no evidence to suggest that there has been any real change in the social, economic and political structures which reinforce medical dominance in health care in Australia. Recommendations for future policy research and policy learning are made with a view to improving the nature of health care reform policy and its impact on the health of the Australian population.

Abstract:
Hospitals worldwide are under pressure to perform and models abound to remedy poor performance. Reform, however, is contested, uneven and slow. One reason is that few models address a core issue in reform: the management of clinical work. A further reason is that stakeholder groups, specifically policymakers, managers and clinicians, limit opportunities for collaborative problem solving as they seek to impose their own frame of reference in the struggle for control. I hypothesise that performance will be relatively better in hospitals that have in place strategies of agreement to set the objectives of reform, such as participative problem identification, problem solving and decision making, together with a method to manage clinical work. This hypothesis was tested in twelve public hospitals in three Australian states between 1999 and 2001 using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Government and hospital policy documents were assessed and semi-structured interviews were conducted to gauge the attitudes and practices of managers and clinicians regarding health care reform. The results of the research show that hospitals with inclusive strategies for change, principally strategies of agreement, joint education and skills development, team-based incentives to direct and reward effort and a method of clinical work management, performed better than those without. Findings indicate that policy was developed and communicated as a rational top-down process that tended to exclude diverse views. Although the effect of different jurisdictional policy processes on hospital performance was not clear, they had considerable impact on the environment of reform. Cost containment and patient safety dominated as policy objectives. These alone did not engage clinician interest or address service quality. The connection between the quality of care and its cost did not appear to be understood. Organisational structures and processes necessary to support reform, that is communication forums for objective setting and performance review, integrated clinical and corporate accountability systems and organisational capacity building were not in place in the majority of hospitals studied. An organisational model of clinical work management was developed to improve cost-effectiveness by balancing clinical autonomy and clinical accountability based on the research results.

Abstract:
Internationally, health systems have been undergoing an extended period of endemic change, where one effort at health system reform inevitably seems to lead to further attempts to make adjustments, re-direct the focus of the reform effort, or bring about further, sometimes very different changes. This phenomenon is described as churning in this thesis. Churning is a result of continual efforts to adjust and �improve� health systems to address intractable �wicked� problems, often through applying solutions based on neo-liberal reform agendas that have influenced public sector reform in developed countries since the early 1980s. Consistent with this, the South Australian health system has been caught up in a cycle of change and restructuring for almost thirty years. This qualitative study explores a case study of unsuccessful organisational change initiated by a group of health care agencies in the southern metropolitan area of Adelaide, South Australia, which took place between 1996 and 2001. The agencies sought to develop and establish a regional health service through a process they called �Designing Better Health Care in the South� which aimed to improve the way that services were provided in the area, and to enable the agencies to manage the increasing budgetary and workload pressures that they were all experiencing. A significant policy shift at the state government level meant that this initiative was no longer supported by the central bureaucracy and could not proceed. The agencies reverted from a focus on regional planning and service delivery to an institutional focus. The changes that are described within the scope of the case study are universally recognisable, including centralisation, decentralisation, managerialism and integration. The experience of Designing Better Health Care in the South as an unsuccessful attempt to implement change that was overtaken by other changes is also a universal phenomenon within health systems. This study locates the case study within its historical and policy contexts. It then analyses the key themes that emerge from consideration of the case study in order to understand the reasons for constant change, and the structural and systemic impediments to successful reform within the South Australian health system as an example of health systems in developed countries. As a case study of organisational change, Designing Better Health Care in the South was a story of frustration and disappointment, rather than of successful change. The case study of Designing Better Health Care in the South demonstrates the tensions between the differing priorities of central bureaucracy and health care agencies, and the pendulum swing between the aims of centralisation and regionalisation. The study uses the theory of negotiated order to understand the roles of the key themes of trust, partnership and collaboration, and power and control within the health system, and to consider how these themes affect the potential for the successful implementation of health care reform. Through analysis of the case study, this thesis contributes to an understanding of the difficulties of achieving effective reform within health systems in advanced economies, such as the South Australian health system, because of the complex power and trust relations that contribute to the functioning of the health system as a negotiated order. The study is multidisciplinary and qualitative, incorporating a number of social science disciplines including sociology, political science, historical analysis and organisational theory. Data collection methods for the study included interviews, focus groups, document analysis and a survey.

Abstract:
Three groups of health care professionals were canvassed for their views on euthanasia - student nurses, practising nurses and doctors. The aim of the research was to make a possible contribution to a formalised health policy on this issue for the ACT. The following forms of euthanasia were covered by the research: (i) voluntary active euthanasia: (ii) voluntary passive euthanasia: (iii) involuntary active euthanasia: (iv) involuntary passive euthanasia. Passive forms of euthanasia were found to be the most acceptable. Voluntary forms of euthanasia were not found, in general, to be more approved of than involuntary forms of euthanasia. However, active forms of euthanasia were much less acceptable than passive forms. In order to adapt the research findings to a methodology for policy use. Allison's models (1971) of public policy development were modified into a single model. This provided an application of the research results in such a way as to allow for the development of a possible formalised policy on euthanasia, and practical applications. The conclusions drawn from the research findings and the subsequent recommendations are supportive of law reform and the implementation of a new policy on the issue of euthanasia.

This thesis is concerned with US health care. It is focused especially on the health insurance market. It introduces basic characteristics of the US insurance system and discusses its main problems. The goal of this thesis is to determine whether voluntary private insurance is the main source of problems that the US health care system currently experiences. In order to do that, greatest deficiencies of US insurance policies, especially private ones, are identified based on the efficiency criterion. It is also briefly evaluated if identified deficiencies are going to be affected by the current health care reform.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation studies Oregon primary care physicians' attitudes toward health care reform. Two models of reform are examined: one, health care rationing such as that proposed by the Oregon Health Plan (OHP); and, two, support for national health insurance (NHI). This work examines the necessity for changing the present health care system, traced from the early origins of the medical profession to the present day health care "crisis." The high cost of health care is examined and an overview of the OHP is provided, including citations from John Kitzhaber, M.D., author of the plan. Overall, Oregon primary care physicians overwhelmingly supported health care rationing policies. Just under 75 percent of the physicians expressed support for health care rationing policies such as that proposed by the Oregon Health Plan. However, just under 48 percent of the same physicians expressed support for national health insurance (NHI). Internal medicine physicians were most supportive of health care rationing policies and OB/GYN physicians were least supportive. Conversely, pediatricians were most supportive of NHI and OB/GYN physicians were least supportive. Regression analyses explained 11.5 percent of variation in support for health care rationing policies and 20.9 percent of their support for national health insurance (NHI). While strong support measures were found for health reform such as that proposed by the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), no similar measures of support for NHI emerged. Almost universal support for health care reform such as the OHP was found among primary care physicians across the state, however similar patterns were not found for NHI. It appears from the research's findings that attempts to change the health care system that include the physician's ability to ration care would be more successful than a more systematic change such as would occur under a national health insurance program. This dissertation points out that physicians represent strong supporting forces and/or opposing forces for health care reform. Their attitudes toward such reform must be considered if successful change is to occur in the U.S. health care system.

Yilmaz, Volkan. "Health reform and new politics of health care in Turkey." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2014. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/7635/.

Full text
Abstract:
The health care system in Turkey has undergone a transformation process since the Health Transformation Programme (HTP) launched in 2003 and significantly increased marketization in health care provision. This study asks the following questions: What political dynamics enabled the introduction of health care reform in Turkey? What kind of political conflicts did the reform generate? How and to whose benefit have these conflicts been resolved? As a historically grounded, single country case study, this study draws on 33 in-depth interviews conducted with major political actors who were involved in the HTP. This study concludes that the reform under consideration was a product of two factors: the World Bank’s pro-market approach to health reforms that became internalised in the health care bureaucracy in Turkey after the mid-1980s, and the controlled populism of the Justice and Development Party (the AK Party). With the introduction of the HTP, the power distribution upon which Turkey’s health care system is based has been changing in three ways. First, the Turkish Medical Association (TTB) lost its leverage in health care policies. Excluded from the reform process, the only success of the TTB was using judicial activism to block the government’s attempts to introduce a full time work requirement for medical doctors. Second, the reform gave birth to the emergence of a new political actor in health care politics, namely private health care provider organisations. Private health care provider organisations, which avoided confrontational discourse in their relations with the government due to the financial dependency of the sector on the state, succeeded in altering the legal and administrative limits that the reform put on their opportunities for capital accumulation. Finally, the transformation of the AK Party from a catchall party to a cartel party that undermines the electoral competition in Turkey might put the representation of the citizens’ interests on health care policies at risk.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Walker Unit opened in 2009 as the first of its kind in Australia to provide an intensive longer stay secure psychiatric inpatient rehabilitation programme for adolescents with severe mental illness who had not benefited from at least one but generally repeated admissions or prolonged care in other tertiary inpatient unit settings. Unusually, this happened at a time when the focus of reform in mental health at a State and National level is on community models, early intervention and community residential care rather than extended inpatient care in the specialist clinical sector. As a first of its kind, the Unit is an important innovation in inpatient mental health care and has garnered a reputation in the clinical sector for creating value in mental health care.

Abstract:
We assessed the health care reform and its effects on household’s welfare such as access to health care and household economic burden. We used descriptive analysis on 2002-2011 Ministry of Health and OECD Health Statistics. The main result is about using health care. Access to health care increased after health care reform in Turkey. Number of applications to health care service server and its units rose. On the other hand, financial burden of health care on household’s budget decreased number of applications. The main result percentage of not consulting a specialist even needed to consult a specialist but did not during the past 12 months is %4.9 in 2003 and %19.9 in 2010. To improve health care access, policy makers should improve public sector provision of health care, increase social security benefit packages and protect poor and vulnerable.

Abstract:
Today all over the world costs of medical services are growing and alternative ways of effective financing of health care are being researched. During the reforms the Kyrgyz Republic introduced a system of compulsory medical insurance, the institution of family medicine and a "single payer" system. Methods of payment for hospital services flush to an artificial increase in the number of hospitalizations and unnecessary assignment of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The main brake of health care reform is underfunding of sector. Improving health care is possible by limiting the free medical care. The replacement of free care by paid services occurs spontaneously, there are abuses and the shadow economy in health care. The Compulsory medical insurance doesn’t have such terms as an accident, insurance risk, and the current model in Kyrgyzstan is not a real model of insurance and serves as a kind of state-funding health care. The most part of the population in rural areas is not involved in the payment of health insurance due to unemployment. Patients pay a fee in addition to medication, and also carry out informal payments to doctors, that is, patient with co-payments have to repeatedly pay for the same medical service without a guarantee of a cure. Taking into account the experience of other countries, the imposition of patient payment for their own care is more just to bringing the patient for his treatment.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents projections for 18 Latin America and Caribbean countries of pensions and health expenditures over the next 50 years, compares them to advanced countries, and calculates estimates of the fiscal gap due to aging. The exercise is crucial since life expectancy is increasing and fertility rates are declining in virtually all advanced countries and many developing countries, but more so in Latin America and the Caribbean. While the populations of many of the regions countries are still relatively young, they are aging more rapidly than those in more developed countries. The fiscal implications of these demographic trends are severe. The paper proposes policy and institutional reforms that could begin to be implemented immediately and that could help moderate these trends in light of relevant international experience to date. It suggests that LAC countries need to include an intertemporal numerical fiscal limit or rule to the continuous increase in aging spending while covering the needs of the more vulnerable. They should consider also complementing public pensions with voluntary contribution mechanisms supported by tax incentives, such as those used in Australia, New Zealand (Kiwi Saver), and the United States (401k). In addition, LAC countries face an urgent challenge in curbing the growth of health care costs, while improving the quality of care. Efforts should focus on improving both the allocative and the technical efficiency of public health spending.
