Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating High High Implementation Status and Key Decisions Implementation of health reforms in line with the Healthy China and the 13th Five-year plan is well underway in both Anhui and Fujian, with support from the Central NHFPC. In addition to general implementation support to the program, the World Bank is also leveraging its staff, as well as international experts, to help the government in strengthening the technical underpinnings and the quality of care aspects of the reform initiatives. These technical support efforts are focused on key areas - such as provider payments (to incentivize optimal service delivery in hospitals, as well in primary care settings), integrated healthcare delivery, management of non-communicable diseases (to ensure that the clinical pathways and treatment protocols are consistent with international best practice) - that are relevant to both public hospital reform, as well as to People-Centered Integrated Care (PCIC). In addition, efforts are being made to strengthen the monitoring, and particularly the evaluation, of the health reform initiatives and their outcomes, as well as to encourage learning by doing through the establishment of learning collaboratives. The Bank is also working with the government to ensure a two-way learning process, whereby the two provinces learn from experiences in the rest of China and internationally, while China's health reform experiences are shared globally. In Fujian - Using the Sanming experience, Fujian is well ahead in addressing the hospital reform especially in seeking efficiencies. The two-invoice system for drug procurement has been implemented in all public institutions and the Provincial Medical Security Management Committee Office had set up an online system for drug procurement building transparency. Guidelines on the scale-up of case based payment and for making hospital directors salary performance based had been issued. The Provincial Health Commission has also developed a guideline on public disclosure of hospital performance indicators, and 100 standardized clinical pathways that can be adapted at county level hospitals to streamline care quality. To promote PCIC among the various levels of providers, there is now at least one medical alliance in each prefecture and this integrated medical alliance will be paid through a global budget. Fujian is also promoting the empanelment of family doctor services in both urban and rural areas in the entire province with multidisciplinary teams consisting of a physician, nurse, public health worker and village doctor. In Anhui - Case-based payment has been implemented for over 200 diseases. Anhui has established a drug monitoring list and prefectural health commissions publicly disclose percentage of the drugs procured that are on the list and also conduct prescription audits. Anhui has established a headcount turnover pool to improve the efficient allocation of health workforce, rebalance the staff needs of public hospitals with idle headcounts and insufficient headcounts. Using the Tianchang experience, Anhui was moving rapidly with the scale-up of medical alliances. Medical alliances have been scaled up to 66 counties, covering 90% of all counties and being paid through global budget and case-based payment. A performance assessment system for medical alliances and the member health providers had also been established. Innovations like having senior Nurse Practitioner join the community health centers and act as a key liaison officer linking the lower with the upper level of the health system was underway in the urban areas of 3 prefectures. Anhui has also been promoting family doctor empanelment. However, as in Fujian, the capitation Page 1 of 9
payment for family doctor service packages only covers basic public health services and some routine check-up for identified high-risk population. Implementation structure - To provide guidance and oversight to the implementation of the PforR, a central level steering committee has been established during the program design. The Provincial Health Reform Leading Groups provide stewardship to the implementation of the PforR at the provincial level. To coordinate the day-to-day activities, offices have also been established/staffed up at the provincial, prefecture and county levels. In addition, to provide technical guidance to the program, expert panels have been constituted at both the central and provincial level. Learning Agenda: Progress has also been made on the learning agenda, which is an important part of the PforR. Study tours were undertaken to Brazil and Costa Rica by Chinese government officials to learn about health reforms in those countries and share the Chinese experience. Furthermore, plans are in place to have a Chinese delegation from the national and provincial level to visit the World Bank in Washington in April 2018 where they will interact with the HNP GP Leadership team, Bank and international experts in relevant areas of health reform, and visit US organizations with experience in integrated healthcare delivery.
