3HEALTHCARE REFORM IS A TOP ISSUE GLOBALLY
16
Improving healthcare is a top public priority in
every country . . .
. . . but where to start?
Health systems are complex . . .
- Difficult to determine what to do
- Quick wins are hard to identify
- Success is hard to measure
Percent per country ranking health as the top
personal concern
Poland
Russia
China
Bulgaria
Rapid change is difficult . . .
- Many stakeholders, most with different interests
- Hard to rapidly increase skills
Germany
India
Italy
Japan
Sweden
- Based on growth over the past 40 years,
projections show health costs could hit 50 of
GDP in more than half of the OECD countries by
2100
Funding is limited and costs are already high

4HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS LEADERS ARE UNDER PRESSURE TO
TACKLE MULTIPLE CHALLENGES
Responding to rising costs
- Improving value for spending
- Ensuring rational adoption of new drugs, devices,
and technologies - Creating value conscious consumers and cost
competitive providers
Providing access
Delivering high quality
How to best balance cost, quality, and access
in a manner that is both sustainable and
consistent with social values and political
goals?
- Defining "right" level of care and coverage
- Defining role of private and public sectors
- Ensuring equity across the system
- Managing rising numbers of chronic disease
patients - Reducing variations in clinical practice
- Adopting evidence-based care

9OUR BASIC BELIEF IS THAT HEALTH SYSTEMS REFORM IS
A LONG JOURNEY THAT REQUIRE VISIONARY LEADERS
- There is no best system, adapting reform to local
context matters - Major transformation typically requires 25 years
of sustained effort - Support from the top is crucial to shape the
direction, it is imperative to understand the
full story - Success is driven by
- Clarity of direction and what success will look
like relevant to existing context - Clarity on behaviours which need changing, and
how that will happen - The momentum generated by a few of successful
quick-win projects with substantial quantifiable
impact - Capability building at all levels of the system,
supported by significant leadership inspiration
and energy
Health systems reform is a journey Visionary
leaders will experience highs and lows but if
thoughtful of the overall direction, will improve
the health of the population in a tangible and
measurable way, improve access and manage costs
10ACHIEVING IMPACT REQUIRES ATTENTION TO A SET OF
CORE PRINCIPLES
Successful health system transformation
Focus change on the target end state
Take a holistic view of the health system
Develop leadership at every level
Follow the patients journey
Use a multi-stakeholder partnership to drive
change

- Social and private sector actors
- National public health outcomes
- International goals (e.g., MDGs)
- Patient journeys through the health system
- Key clinical pathways
- Top level Ministry leadership
- Mid level system leadership
- Clinical leadership
- Governments
- Donors and bi/multi-laterals
- Private sector
- Social sector and NGOs
Engage the system from within
Millennium Development Goals
11HEALTH SYSTEM REFORM REQUIRES CHANGING AN ENTIRE
SYSTEM, NOT JUST THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH
1
Alternative/ traditional medicine
Ministry of Finance (health system financing)
Social Sector (NGOs, community service
organizations, think tanks)
Ministry of Labour (health care work force
domestic and international)
- Health systems play a role in a countrys human
and economic development - While reform may require change at the micro
level, it will also require change at the macro
level including many other aspects of government
Parastatal companies (access to
telecommunications, power, water for health
facilities)
Ministry of Education (health care degree
programs, bursaries and secondary school sciences)
Private Sector (health care and large employers)
Regional and local governments (sanitation,
hospitals, schools and infrastructure)
Ministry of Works and Transport (facility
construction, renovation and repair, and roads)

REGULAR TRACK OF PROGRESS

A CLINICAL PATHWAYS APPROACH IDENTIFIES
IMPROVEMENT AREAS ACROSS THE PATIENTS LIFE SPAN
UK EXAMPLE
Proposed key changes required to deliver
world-class care based on best practice
- Women should be offered choice of home birth,
midwife-led or obs-led care - Obstetrics units with at least 96 hrs/week
consultant cover - Every obstetrics unit should have a co-located
midwifery unit - 11 midwife-led care should be provided in labor
within existing resources - Antenatal and some postnatal care should be
provided in local dedicated hubs
- More should be invested in proven health
improvement programs - The NHS should play a greater role in improving
the health of its employees - All health professionals should be incented to
improve health at each interaction - Need for more partnership working to help people
stay healthy
- Integration of community and secondary care
services - Pro-active primary care to reduce emergency
admissions - Develop London-wide best practice Care Pathways
for different LTCs (e.g., DM, COPD, HTN, Asthma) - Routine diagnostics provided in a community
setting
- Improve access through local 24/7 urgent care
centers with doctors on-site - A single point of contact (by telephone) for
urgent care - Centralization and networks for Major trauma, MI,
and Stroke - Dispatch and retrieval protocols for LAS need to
be aligned with centralization
- More specialized inpatient care should be
centralized into major acute hospital - Shift less complex surgery, diagnostics, and
outpatients out of major acute hospitals - Better use of the day case setting for many
procedures - Improve community-based services (e.g., community
nursing)
- Commission end-of-life service providers to
co-ordinate end-of-life care - People have an end-of-life care plan, including
preferences on place of death - All organizations should meet good practice
(e.g., gold standards framework) - Greater investment to support people to die at
home
14STRONG INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE LEADERSHIP IS
REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT AND SUSTAIN CHANGE
PRIORITIES
4
Leadership development can effect significant
lasting change
Necessary shifts in traditional leadership
development approaches
To
From
- Today, many health interventions can not be
implemented or brought to scale because of weak
system leadership, among other factors - Strengthening leaders will improve the
effectiveness of actors within the public health
system - A collective leadership team in a coordinated
fashion, with aligned intent, focused on the most
crucial challenges in the system will achieve
step-change improvements in the health of the
system - Developing leaders in a complex adaptive system
such as public health can catalyze positive
increasing returns and create public health
systems that evolve organically to higher levels
of performance
- Shifting aspects of the system while developing
the people in it
- Developing people in system
Objective
- Public healthcare professionals
- The individual
- Inclusion of the private sector, adjacent systems
leaders (e.g., education, finance), others - Collective leadership team as well
Target
- Technical/managerial skills
- Special project for action learning
- Mindsets (meaning, purpose, etc.) as well as
skills - Broader set of skills (e.g., interpersonal, etc.)
- Joint initiatives to shift system at leverage
points
Curriculum
- Injection of best practice from outside
- External faculty
- Offsite program
- Additive
- Episodic
- Engagement from within enable local capacity to
develop, tailor, embed, extend learning - Building on/removing barriers to what works
already
Delivery Mechanism
155
REFORM SHOULD BE DRIVEN BY A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER
PARTNERSHIP
Reform will require commitment and resources from
a wide group actors both public and private over
3 to 5 years
Private sector
Donors and bi-/multi-laterals
- Deep functional expertise
- Core competence in specific business areas, e.g.,
supply chain management, corporate finance,
social marketing - Broad-based business and organizational
experience - In-depth knowledge across multiple industries and
organizations - Specific product offering
- Specific products and services required by the
health system, e.g., consumables and
infrastructure
- Financial support
- Ability to finance projects that support
government efforts as well as to test new
approaches and initiatives - Broad health system experience
- Experience across multiple geographies to share
knowledge and approaches - Deep knowledge in health
- Depth in knowledge across health system
financing, human resources, infrastructure,
operations, and enablers such as IT - Government influence
