Abstract
This study aimed to examine principles and ways to arrange a centralized mechanism of health insurance programs in Thaialnd and other countries in managing care for high-cost the chronically ills, and develop guidelines for the three Thai national health security schemes, including commonalities and differences in cancers, chronic care for end-stage kidney diseases, and HIV/AIDS. In addition, it explored how Thai secondary- and tertiary-care hospitals provided care for these three groups of patients under conditions set by the three health security schemes, and identified any impacts on treatment and continuity of care for high-cost chronic diseases, particularly when patients switched schemes. Finally, the study purposes included development of policy proposals for reorganizing management systems for high-cost chronic care of the health secuirity schemes. Three major methologies were applied, including literature review on Thai and international experiences, key stakeholder interviews and case studies in six selected public hospitals. The study found that management systems of the three health security schemes of Thailand for high-cost chronic diseases varied in terms of conceptual thoughts, policies, implementation, as well as performance monitoring. The variations were identified both among programs within the schemes, and between the schemes. There was no central information system and management mechanism that was designed with patient-centered intention, or with particular aims that differed from acute care, namely focusing on continuity of care. Thus, the systems did not support coordination and monitoring beneficiaries’ data to allow tracking scheme changing, health service utilization and health outcomes in order to review health benefits, service operation, as well as predict and manage health expenses in caring for the diseases and their complications. Assessed from governing bodies of the scheme and current operations, The Civil Servant Medical Benefit Scheme (CSMBS) had the most limited capability to issue proactive policies in managing high-cost chronic diseases. The Universal Coverage Scheme (UC) and the Social Security Scheme (SSS) seemed to have quite similar directions in defining benefit packages, despite differences in designing approaches. Each scheme had its own processes and patient access channels, which resulted in patient re-registration and in coverage gap of 15-45 days when patients need to change schemes.More differences could be found in payment mechanisms for different services and payment methods. In addition, they differed in quality management, requirements and standards, some of which affected patient access to care, service arranagement in hospitals or other service providers. Hospitals did not separate clinics or service units for chronic patients from different schemes, except in some hospitals for chronic hemo-dialysis. Policy recommendations for management of high-cost chronic diseases may include integrated policies for managing the diseases among the three national health schemes, aiming for coverage, access, quality, efficiency and equity, having an integrated governing body at a policy level to determine criteria for selecting and designing health benefits for eligible high-cost chronic diseases, especially benefits for particular disease groups such that they would be flexible, up-to-date, appropriate and cost-effective. Moreover, clinical practice guidelines and recommendations applicable for all schemes should be reviewed and developed. They should take into account capabilities and limitations of the health services system of the country, suggesting areas for development and not aggravating unrealistic expectations among patients. Besides, critical points or areas of the services should be determined and subsequently used to monitor quality of care and access. In addition, a common system for registering chronic patients should be set up, or linked among different relevant databases to enable patients to receive continuous care and ensure portability of benefit coverage in order to avoid coverage gap. Quality assurance activities for the providers should also be standardized. Care should become multidisciplinary and makes best use of existing database. Key performance measures should be set up and used to provide feedback for providers with recommendations for improvement. They could also be applied during site visits and contract reviews, as well as feed back to primary service providers of targeted population.
