1 Study of Enhanced Quality of Care Assessment Instruments in Senegal s Performance-Based Financing Program Presenter: April Williamson, Program Officer, R4D Global Maternal and Newborn Health Conference Mexico City, Mexico 11/20/15
2 Study duration: Location: Senegal (Dakar, Kaolack, Kaffrine, and Kolda regions) Research team: Co-Principal Investigators: Marty Makinen, Results for Development (R4D); Jurrien Toonen, Netherlands Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) April Williamson and Emily Allen (R4D); Christel Jansen (KIT) Key partners: Senegal s MoH Abt Associates/Senegal World Bank Financial and technical support: USAID s Translating Research into Action (TRAction) 11/20/15 2
3 Translating Research into Action, TRAction, is funded by United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under cooperative agreement No. GHS-A The project team includes prime recipient, University Research Co., LLC (URC), Harvard University School of Public Health (HSPH), and subrecipient research organizations.
4 Study Context What is performance-based financing (PBF)? PBF schemes create incentives for provision of high quality and quantity health care by injecting performance-based cash into the facility while increasing local decision rights on all financial and productive resources, and also strengthening local accountability and oversight mechanisms - Fritsche et al., 2014 (PBF toolkit) 11/20/15 4
5 Study Context Inputs Health Facility Ac2vi2es Outputs Financing 11/20/15 5
6 Study Context 2012: Performance-Based Financing (PBF) program piloted in Kaffrine and Kolda regions; 2015 expansion to 4 new regions Quality checklists are used to deflate bonus payments for quantity results 2013: Review and Revision of the PBF program concluded that there was a need to: Improve the primary-level (Health Post/Health Center) quality checklists Develop a quality checklist for the hospital level Better understand how provider behavior changes in response to the quality checklists 2015: USAID/Abt Associates/MoH process evaluation provided some initial findings on provider behavior, but further study is still needed 11/20/15 6
7 Study Objectives Correspond to identified needs from 2013 Review & Revision 1. Improve primary-level quality checklists 2. Develop quality checklist for the hospital level 3. Explore black box of provider behavior in response to quality checklists 4. Provide recommendations based on the above 5. Contribute to the knowledge base on quality assessment mechanisms for PBF 11/20/15 7
8 The Black Box
9 Black Box Study Component Objectives Conduct an in-depth study on the black box of how and why providers respond to quality incentives Beyond focusing on quality scores Identify possible complements to facilitate quality improvements Provide recommendations for improvements to the program s quality component 11/20/15 9
10 Literature Review Existing literature on PBF programs and quality is limited The black box of provider behavior identified as an area where further study is needed Some anecdotal evidence that PBF programs can lead to improved provider behavior Greater autonomy and accountability Increased productivity and motivation More collaboration within structures (but not between health systems levels) 11/20/15 10
11 But Literature Review (cont.) Most studies did not include an explicit focus on provider behavior Evidence is anecdotal, not systematic Evidence is mixed on the effects of quality incentives Mechanisms for quality improvement are not systematically explored 11/20/15 11
12 Anecdotal Evidence from Senegal Source: Evaluation du processus du projet financement basé sur les résultats dans le secteur de la santé au Sénégal (USAID/ Senegal, Abt Associates, MoH) Objective of the evaluation: Document the PBF program s process of implementation, initial results, and challenges 11/20/15 12
13 Senegal s Quality Scores Highest scores Lab services Family planning Vaccina2on and newborn care Lowest scores M&E/HIS Maternal care Infec2ous diseases 11/20/15 13
14 Anecdotal Findings on Provider Behavior Greater staff involvement More autonomy, accountability, and active management More respect for working hours and reduced absenteeism Quality improvement Greater adherence to norms, protocols, and hygiene standards More attention to customer care Organization and management More systematic planning and implementation of activities, including regular monthly coordination meetings Better management of data, including emphasis on drug supply to avoid stock-outs 11/20/15 14
15 Anecdotal Findings on Provider Behavior Use of PBF payments Used for personnel bonuses and facility and service improvements (e.g. strengthening equipment and supplies; improvement to the physical structure) Innovative strategies Addressing issues that reduce use of certain services (ex: use of loudspeakers to inform populations about scheduled services) Greater attention paid to users Interest in meeting the needs and wants of populations served 11/20/15 15
16 Enabling and Constraining Factors Enabling Factors Equipment and skills available for lab tests and family planning Assistance from other projects/programs Constraining Factors Lack of availability of equipment and supplies for maternal care Difficulty holding monthly mee2ngs and managing informa2on for M&E Insufficient training, weak support from District Management Teams, and insufficient supervision concerning certain areas Human resources shortages and absences (ex: off- site trainings and mee2ngs for nurses in charge of Health Posts) 11/20/15 16

21 Hypotheses Provider personnel under the PBF program s quality checklists will: Be capable of obtaining better quality scores where improvement is within their control Take advantage of available tools and approaches Have entrepreneurial creativity Respond to user needs and wants Use PBF bonus payments to improve quality Look for tools, advice, and financing to improve quality Be more aware of quality in their work Plan based on outcomes, rather than inputs Know what they re accountable for Be limited by supplies and equipment available 11/20/15 21

23 Methodology Qualitative study Individual interviews and focus group discussions with providers in intervention (PBF) and control (non-pbf) areas Three key themes: Behavior to attain quality results Enabling/constraining factors Attitudes toward quality Emphasis on essential obstetric and neonatal care (EONC) 11/20/15 23
24 Timeline May June 2015: Award received; protocol development; literature review August 2015: KIT ethical approval October 2015: Data collection instrument development and field testing; submission to Senegal s ethical review board January 2016: Field data collection May 2016: Presentation of draft report June 2016: Final report and brief 11/20/15 24
25 Indicative Findings from Instrument Testing Biggest benefits of PBF in terms of quality Focus on important elements of quality Financial support to purchase needed materials/equipment (specifically items on the checklist) Motivation of personnel, especially community workers, to perform activities Biggest constraints Financial support doesn t meet all needs Inability to purchase more expensive equipment Lack of sufficient technical supervision 11/20/15 25
26 Indicative Findings from Instrument Testing Most important activities to achieve quality Ensuring availability of equipment Avoiding drug stock-outs Communication with the population Emphasis on the quality checklist Frequent mention of the checklist as a point of reference Checklist criteria themselves are motivating, regardless of bonus payments 11/20/15 26
