Innovations in Investment Climate Reforms An Impact Evaluation Workshop Paris, November 2012 KENYA Risk-based support and compliance reform for the Kenyan health sector Impact Evaluation Concept Note
Motivation: Health Facility Inspections Reform Objective: • To provide transparent and cost-effective inspection and support for improving compliance with Joint Health Inspections Checklist • To reduce discretion of inspection through randomization and thereby provide a more uniform basis for a risk-based inspections regime, and increase efficiency in the process. Motivation • Kenya Constitution 2010: The right to the highest attainable level of healthcare • Fragmented inspections systems lacking a mechanism for joint inspections for regulatory groups • Official Gazettment of the IFC supported Joint Health Inspections Checklist and the drafting of the Health Bill & Health Professionals Council Bill, 2012. • The results of the IFC-WHO/ PharmAccess/ MOH Minimum Patient Safety Compliance Survey indicate a strong need to take action to improve patient safety
Evaluation Design 2: Randomization 8,000 registered health institutions in Kenya (sample size n=1000) BASELINE DATA COLLECTION Sample of Low-risk health institutions Sample of High-risk health institutions Control Group High-frequency inspections M-health M-health + SWAT
Evaluation Design 3: Randomization 8,000 registered health institutions in Kenya (sample size n=1000) BASELINE DATA COLLECTION Sample of Low-risk health institutions Sample of High-risk health institutions Control Group High-frequency inspections Medium-frequency inspections
Sampling and Data • Use of Service Provision Assessment/ Master Facility List raw data to inform sample size calculations. • Sample size approx n=1000 • Sampling and randomization at institution (clinic/hospital/etc) out of 8,000 institutions in Kenya keeping up National Representative Sample. Current Background Data availability: • Existing data and records from health inspections on selected facilities using the previous separate checklists • Data from the IFC-WHO joint Minimum Patient Safety Standards Survey conducted by IPSOS and with the technical assistance of PharmAccess and MOH on a sample of 500 private and public facilities in Kenya
Sampling and Data Diagnostic Tools/ Data Collection: Joint Health Inspections (JHI) Checklist Tool • Data collection on JHI Tool completed at facility at Baseline and at End-line • Tool used to identify high risk facilities (HRF) and low risk facilities (LRF) through a set of risk-based Guidelines. • Facilities self-assess every year on the JHI checklist and submit to the regulatory authorities; penalties for inaccurate reporting. • Mid-Line Rapid Assessment Tool (RAT) administration: Administration of a shortened tool developed by factor analysis RAT varied yearly on a random blinded basis Patient Exit Survey (mobile enabled) • Conducted at Base-line and End-line on all groups to determine movement in standard of service level as a result of interventions
