HOW NETCARE INTERACTS WITH OTHER STAKEHOLDERS 4
HOW NETCARE INTERACTS WITH STAKEHOLDERS 1/2 Medical schemes Doctors (Drs) Before a Dr can admit a patient, a scheme must authorise authorisation is not a guarantee of payment Annual hospital reimbursement negotiation Daily interaction on complicated patients Significant level of transparency on bill from line data on ward, theatre, equipment, drug and surgical items and disease and procedure codes. Unusually high information in terms of our international experience Quarterly liaison meetings at senior level By law private hospitals don't employ Drs Emergency Departments are run by independent practitioners Hospitals do not engage in choice of patient treatment or referrals to or between Drs Practitioner tariff negotiations are independent of hospitals Dr s do not participate in hospital revenue The hospital bill excludes services rendered by independent practitioners including Drs, pathologists, radiologists, physiotherapists and anaesthetists and other service providers.

NETCARE S INITIATIVES TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF CARE MELANIE DA COSTA DIRECTOR STRATEGY AND HEALTH POLICY 25
NETCARE HAS EMBEDDED THE TRIPLE AIM AS A FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE AND PHILOSOPHY Best patient experience Achieving high value for patients must become the over-arching goal of healthcare delivery, with value defined as the health outcomes achieved per dollar spent. Michael Porter N Engl J Med 2010, 363:26 Best outcomes Triple Aim Most cost effective Improvement capability Science based improvement skills and processes Robust integrated technology CARE DIGNITY PARTICIPATION TRUTH PASSION 26
QUALITY LEADERSHIP FRAMEWORK CARE DIGNITY PARTICIPATION TRUTH PASSION 27
INTEGRATED QUALITY BALANCE SCORECARD ACROSS ALL DIVISIONS CARE DIGNITY PARTICIPATION TRUTH PASSION 28
FOCUS AREAS Quality Assurance: Active participation in development of the National Core Standards(NCS). Netcare hospitals have achieved an overall compliance of over 85% in group audits against the NCS. Patient experience: Hospitals are focused on continuous improvement on HCAHPS definitely recommend and overall experience and meet targets. Comprehensive infection prevention and antibiotic stewardship programs across all facilities that meet and exceed global best practices. Outcomes measures have shown reduced antibiotic utilisation and consistent year on year improvement for focused infection risks such as ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP), central line associate blood stream infections (CLABSI), of surgical site infections (SSI) and catheterassociated urinary tract infections (CAUTI).

GLOBAL COMPARISONS Nurse recruitment and training Netcare has sought to address shortage of nurses by: Training >3000 nurses p.a. and recruiting from India. Nursing salaries (per month) SA: ranges from R14 562 R47 723 per month UK: range from R32 637 to R92 000 per month India: from R1 800 to R9 000, while in certain states, a minimum wage of R2 350 Cost of hospital build (per bed) SA: R2.5-R3.5m UK: 1m (R23m) India: R1m-R1.8m Consumable costs (drugs and medical devices) SA : Drugs and surgicals charged at costs. Considered procurement strategy to lower cost UK: Netcare s analysis of various drugs vs. UK market indicates significantly higher prices in SA India: Medical devices - the reuse of single-use devices is a fairly prevalent practice¹ Source: Some hospitals routinely reuse medical devices sold as single-use products - such as $160 steel clamps employed during beating-heart surgeries, which CARE Hospitals and NH sterilize and reuse 50 to 80 times (Harvard Business Review) CARE DIGNITY PARTICIPATION TRUTH PASSION 33
