Cost of Waiting for Elective Surgery(OECD, Working Paper no.6, 2003) • Deterioration in condition, death at the extreme • Loss of utility from delay • Rise in the cost of total treatment • Example: • A study of patients waiting for varicose vein surgery in the UK found ‘considerable deterioration’ in their condition while waiting for surgery (Sarin et al, 1993)
Opportunity Costs • 856.8 work days lost each year in the UK due to sickness, • Statutory Sick Pay & Incapacity Benefit: In England, 5-10% of the patients on elective waiting lists are on sick leave from work • 1,047,890 people waiting for NHS in-patient treatment, June 2000. • Out-patient treatment (hospital tests, specialist consultations) 13 week wait lists for 308,760 people (of which 128,532 were waiting over 26 weeks).
What is day surgery? • Ambulatory care. • Out-patient care. • Short-stay. • Minimally invasive surgery. • Diagnostic procedures. • Minor injuries. • Non-surgical interventions.
Prices and Costs e.g. ENT (figures available in 2002) • HRG code C22 • Septoplasty • £366/ £905/ £2302 • HRG code C24 • Bilateral dissection tonsillectomy • £250/ £853/ £4676

Performance Management & KPIs • KPIs • SUIs • Outcome measures DHF
CSS v CPS • The CSS contains everything that should help us specify our procurement safely for the NHS • The CPS only contains that which we consider essential to the ITT and which will deliver a VFM bid
Input and process specifications • So the sponsor can integrate ISTC care with the rest of the health economy. • e.g. what is expected from the NHS may differ between one cholecystectomy package (with a very limited follow up) and another.
Input and process specifications • Ministers will find it hard to defend untoward events in the absence of process specifications or standards • Provider can easily offer a strong argument that he was not at fault for a poor outcome (by citing biological variability)
Input and process specifications • Some procedures require specific data for national registers and these have to be specified • e.g. NCEPOD • Cataract National Dataset • e.g. National Joint Registry
Outcomes The difficulty with outcome(s) is that the results should be attributable to the treatment
Measures • KPIs • 25 ISTCs • NHS TCs • Outcome Measures • NHS TCs • ISTCs
