- 1. MODELS OF HEALTH SYSTEM Mr. Chiranjeebi Shah M.Sc. M.P.H.
- 2. Purpose To know the major healthcare systems around the globe To Compare and contrast major systems of healthcare To be well acquainted with Beveridge and Bismark Models of Health System Models To identify and know the existing system of Health care in Nepal
- 3. Do You Agree that :-“IS HEALTH CARE A RIGHT?” YES? Because Health is Human Right “ New Nepal , a Healthy NEPAL”
- 4. GLOBAL CONTEXT There are about 200 countries on our planet, and each country devises its own set of arrangements for meeting the three basic goals of a health care system: keeping people healthy, treating the sick, and protecting families against financial ruin from medical bills. But we don’t have to study 200 different systems to get a picture of how other countries manage health care. For all the local variations, health care systems tend to follow general patterns.
- 5. DIFFERENT HEALTHCARE MODELS Each nation’s health care system is a reflection of its: History Politics Economy National values They all vary to some degree However, they all share common principles There are four basic health care models around the world
- 6. DIFFERENT MODELS OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES According to T. R. Reid’s; there are four basic models of Health Care services: THE BISMARCK MODEL . THE BEVERIDGE MODEL THE. NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE MODEL THE OUT-OF-POCKET MODEL [Some countries have also mixed model that is the combination of public and private enterprises]
- 7. 1. THE BISMARCK MODEL Germany, Japan, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Japan, and Latin America Named for Prussian chancellor Otto von Bismarck, inventor of the welfare state Characteristics: Providers and payers are private Private insurance plans – financed jointly by employers and employees through payroll deduction The plans cover everyone and do not make a profit Tight regulation of medical services and fees (cost control)
- 8. 2. THE BEVERIDGE MODEL Named after William Beveridge – inspired Britain’s NHS Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Cuba, and the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs Characteristics: Healthcare is provided and financed by the government, through tax payments There are no medical bills Medical treatment is a public service Providers can be government employees Lows costs b/c the government controls costs as the sole payer This is probably what Americans have in mind when they think of “socialized medicine”
- 10. 3. THE NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE MODEL Canada, Taiwan, South Korea Characteristics: Providers are private Payer is a government-run insurance program that every citizen pays into; has considerable market power to negotiate lower prices National insurance collects monthly premiums and pays medical bills Plans tend to be cheaper and much simpler administratively than American-style insurance Can control costs by: (1) limiting the medical services they will pay for or (2) making patients wait to be treated
- 11. 4. THE OUT-OF-POCKET MODEL Rural regions of Africa, India, China, and South America, Nepal “no-system” countries Characteristics: Only the rich get medical care; the poor stay sick or die Most medical care is paid for by the patient, out-of-pocket No insurance or government plan
- 12. TWO –TIER HEALTH CARE Government owned health care institutions Run and conducted by Government o Semi Government or Community HFs or Decentralized HFs run by local authorities and community In most of the countries, with government health care system, a parallel private system is allowed to operate and this system is called as two-tire health care. The scale, extent and funding of these private system is variable. The other major models are public insurance systems Publically-funded health care model Social security health care model- insured health workers Social health insurance- all or many insured by HIP
- 13. COMMON PRINCIPLES OF ALL MODELS Coverage Coverage for every resident (old or young, rich or poor) Moral principle of all developed countries except for US Every country rations care – not everything is covered! Quality Other developed countries produce better “quality” results than U.S. Cost All other systems are cheaper than in the US Foreign employers pay far less for health coverage than US companies Effect? Choice Many countries offer greater choice than most Americans have
- 14. BUSINESS MODEL FOR US HEALTHCARE Too expensive! Mediocre outcomes Inadequate & inequitable access Profit seeking Wasteful? Harmful? Bottomless expectations of patients and physicians We are not getting our money’s worth!
- 15. UNITED STATES HEALTH SYSTEM COVERAGE Richest country in the world Many Americans do not get the care they need Ranked last of 23 developed nations in providing universal care (Commonwealth Fund) 45 million (15% of population) have no health insurance Millions are “underinsured” Not curing people with curable diseases? Risk of financial ruin due to medical bills Medical bankruptcy is a unique American problem 60% of bankruptcies are a result of medical bills Approximately 700,000 Americans/year
- 16. US QUALITY RANKINGS Ranked 37th in list of 192 countries (WHO) Ranks 66th out of 100 on a scorecard assessing efficiency, equality, and access (Commonwealth Fund Commission) Outlier in health spending and information technology (OECD) Estimated 44 to 98,000 deaths/year from medical errors (IOM, 1999)
- 17. GREAT BRITAIN Physician Choice Patients have very little provider choice Copayment/Deductibles No deductibles Almost no copayments (prescription drugs) Waiting Times Huge problem Benefits Covered Offers comprehensive coverage Terminally ill patients may be denied treatment
- 18. CANADA Insured Single payer system – 100% insured Each province must make insurance: Universal (available to all) Comprehensive (covers all necessary hospital visits) Portable (individuals remain covered when moving to another province) Accessible (no financial barriers, such as deductible or copayments) Funding Federal government uses revenue to provide a block grant to the provinces (finances 16% of healthcare) The remainder is funded by provincial taxes (personal and corporate income taxes) Spending 9% of GDP Private Insurance At one time all private insurance was prohibited; changed in 2005 Many private clinics now offer services on the black market
- 19. CANADA Physician Compensation Physicians work in private practice Paid on a fee-for-service basis These fees are set by a centralized agency; makes wages fairly low Physician Choice Referrals are required for all specialist services except the ED Copayment/Deductibles Generally no copayments or deductibles Some provinces do charge insurance premiums Waiting Times Long waiting lists Many travel to the U.S. for healthcare
- 20. FRANCE • Insured – About 99% of population covered • Cost – 3rd most expensive health care system – 11% of GDP • Funding – 13.55% payroll tax (employers pay 12.8%, individuals pay 0.75%) – 5.25% general social contribution tax on income – Taxes on tobacco, alcohol and pharmaceutical company revenues • Private Insurance – “more than 92% of French residents have complementary private insurance” – These funds are loosely regulated (less than U.S.); the only requirement is renewability – These benefits are not equally distributed (creates a two-tiered system)
- 21. FRANCE • Physician Compensation – Providers paid by national health insurance system based on a centrally planned fee schedule – fees are based on an upfront treatment lump sum (similar to DRGs in US) – However, doctors can charge whatever they want – The patient or the private insurance makes up the difference – Medical school is free – Legal system is fairly tort averse • Physician Choice – Fair amount of choice in the doctors they choose • Copayment/Deductible – 10% to 40% copayments • Waiting Times – Very little waiting lists/times • Technology – Government does not reimburse new technologies very generously – Little incentive to make capital investments in medical technology
- 22. GERMANY • Insured – 99.6% of population – sickness funds – Those with higher incomes can buy private insurance – The federal gov. decides the global budget and which procedures to include in the benefit package • Funding – Sickness funds are financed through a payroll tax (avg. 15% of income) – The tax is split between the employer and employee • Private insurance – 9% of Germans have supplemental insurance; covers items not paid for by the sickness funds – Only middle- and upper-class can opt out of sickness funds • Physician Compensation – Reimbursement set through negotiation with the sickness funds – Providers have little negotiating power – Very low compensation – Significant reimbursement caps and budget restrictions
- 23. GERMANY Copayment/Deductibles Almost no copayments or deductibles Technology Low technology compared to U.S. Waiting Times WHO reported that “waiting lists and explicit rationing decisions are virtually unknown” Benefits Covered There is an extensive benefit package which even includes sick pay (70% to 90% of pay) for up to 78 weeks
- 24. JAPAN Insured Universal health insurance based around a mandatory, employment-based insurance “The Employee Health Insurance Program” requires that all companies with 700 or more employees to provide workers with health insurance Small business workers join a government-run small business national health insurance plan The self-employed and the retired are covered by Citizens Insurance Program administered by municipal governments Costs Not as high as U.S.; average household spends $2300 per year on out-of-pocket costs Japans have a healthy lifestyle – lower incidence of disease Funding 8.5% (large business) or an 8.2% (small business) payroll tax Payroll taxes are split almost evenly between employer and employee Those who are self-employed or retired must pay a self-employment tax Private Insurance Very rare for Japanese to use this; less than 1%
- 25. JAPAN Physician Compensation Hospital physicians are salaried Non-hospital physicians are paid on a fee-for-service basis Hospitals and clinics are privately owned but the government sets the fee schedule Physician Choice No restrictions on physician or hospital choice No referral requirements Copayment/Deductibles Copayments are 10% to 30% Capped at $677 per month for the average family Technology High levels of technology; comparable to U.S. Waiting Times Significant problem at the best hospitals b/c they cannot charge higher prices
- 26. NEPAL:- OUT -OF –POCKET MODEL Most Health care by Government and now private sectors are also in place especially in urban areas A variable health care services across the country Purely; private enterprise and public funded health institutes provide health care services Health insurance system is very negligible The free health care policy 2006,amended January 2008 and “New Nepal, Healthy Nepal”January 2009 and urban health policy has made Nepal to provide at least basic health care free of cost to all citizens and universal free health care to targeted groups eg. Ultra poor, senior citizens(> 60 years), disabled, FCHV, cancer, renal and heart patients are also subsidy to total fee leading to universal health care
- 27. HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN NEPAL Integration of services Primarily based on allopathic system Encouraged community participation Various levels of service outlets Different cadres of doctors, nurses, paramedics and so on Accessibility Comprehensive Decentralization, bottom up planning
- 28. OBSTACLE OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN NEPAL [BARRIERS TO DEVELOPMENT OF HCS] Political instability Unstable economy Difficult terrain and topography Poverty Ignorance and prevailing bad cultures Corruption Problem of brain drain No proportional distribution of health workers Excess burden and load of tasks to lower level health workers Functional management not in time and place
