1 Health informatics implications of Sub-acute transition to activity based funding HIC2012 Carrie Schulman
2 What is Sub-acute care? Patients receiving sub-acute care generally require much longer stays in hospital than patients receiving acute care. For example, rehabilitation patients typically stay in hospital for two to three weeks or longer. Sub-acute care is defined as encompassing five care types in the National Partnership Agreement: 1. Rehabilitation 2. Palliative care 3. Geriatric Evaluation Management (GEM) 4. Psycho-geriatric care 5. Maintenance Sub-acute patients (who represent just 2.5% of patients) occupy 13% of Australian public hospital beds. Source: Australian Institute of Health and Welfare National health data dictionary.

Other issues include inconsistent patient counting of output units for ambulatory subacute services, and differentiating patient complexity within classes, across States. Costing data for subacute services appears to be problematic in that unit costs are not comparing like services across states. Greater consistency in measurement that reflects a fair unit cost will also be an important consideration before implementation in 2013/14. Source: IHPA Draft Pricing Framework (December 2011) 7

Source: IHPA Draft Pricing Framework (December 2011) Uptake of AN SNAP and use in funding New South Wales and Queensland have good uptake in admitted designated units. There has not historically been AN-SNAP data collected in Victoria, South Australia and the ACT. In Western Australia, fewer than 29% of inpatient sub-acute episodes had an AN-SNAP classification. The uptake of AN-SNAP in the ambulatory settings is either non-existent, or very low both because of the administrative burden in use of the FIM tool and that AN-SNAP does not adequately explain costs for the range of ambulatory services provided.

Was the service a non-admitted subacute service (rehabilitation or palliative care) that: a. Was provided through a designated subacute services facility/unit/program? AND b. Was provided to the patient at a public hospital, in a community-based setting or at home? AND c. Was funded by a public hospital? Impacts Are there reliable activity counts subacute service? Are all these based on designated services and funded by a public hospital? How will sub-acute price relate to long stay DRG? How does this impact model of care? Is there a consistent approach / policy re: care type and phase of care change, transition in and out of care types. 16
17 Key messages in improving informatics in Subacute 1. Engage clinicians in uptake of classification and data quality... accurate completion of assessment instruments unpacking statistical variation in subacute activity (care models) practices around care type assignment and care type changing What will the impact of ABF be on their current business model? What is capability around reporting of activity and cost data how confident are they in the data? How do their costs compare to peers? How is this knowledge informing efficiency initiatives? 17
