Summary

Casemix systems in NSW health funding are analyzed. The Resource Allocation Formula (RAF) is preferred over case payment due to current limitations, though a hybrid model is possible.

Area of Science:

  • Health economics
  • Public health policy
  • Hospital financing

Background:

  • The NSW public health system utilizes a casemix modified population-based funding formula, known as the Resource Allocation Formula (RAF).
  • Current casemix funding models face challenges including output orientation and limited applicability to certain patient types.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the role and effectiveness of casemix systems in the NSW public health system.
  • To compare the existing Resource Allocation Formula (RAF) with case payment as hospital funding mechanisms.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of hospital funding models.
  • Evaluation of the Resource Allocation Formula (RAF) against case payment criteria.
  • Assessment of shortcomings in current casemix funding.

Main Results:

  • The Resource Allocation Formula (RAF) is currently deemed more suitable than case payment for hospital funding in NSW.
  • Shortcomings of casemix funding include output orientation, inapplicability to ambulatory/non-acute care, and restricted global expenditure control.
  • Case payment is not recommended as the primary hospital funding mechanism due to these limitations.

Conclusions:

  • The Resource Allocation Formula (RAF) remains the preferred funding model for NSW public health, despite identified limitations.
  • Case payment introduction is cautioned against due to current system inadequacies.
  • A combined approach of population-based funding at the area/region level with case payment for individual agencies presents a potential future model.
