  2. Health system performance assessment in Thailand • Objectives of HSPA • To assess performance and achievements of the country's health system, • To improve management and accountability of the responsible institutes/organizations, • Learning to do better: assess the gap between achievements and national health goals / international benchmark, • Identify key challenges of the health systems and gaps in data quality. • Monitoring & evaluation of health care system reforms • Short term expectation: • What are people getting from the increased inputs and recent country's reform policies? • Long term expected benefits: • Have the effects on improving access, quality, coverage, financial protection, equity in health, and patient satisfaction over time? • Have these results in health impacts, that is reduced mortality and morbidity, and health status of the population?

  3. Inputs & processes Outputs Outcomes Impact Intervention access & services readiness Intervention quality, safety and efficiency Coverage of interventions Prevalence risk behaviours & factors Improved health outcomes & equity Social and financial risk protection Responsiveness Infrastructure / ICT Health workforce Supply chain Information Financing Governance Population-based surveys Coverage, health status, equity, risk protection, responsiveness Administrative sources Financial tracking system; NHA Databases and records: HR, infrastructure, medicines etc. Policy data Facility assessments Clinical reporting systems Service readiness, quality, coverage, health status Vital registration Monitoring & Evaluation of health systems reform /strengthening A general framework Indicator domains Data sources Analysis & synthesis Data quality assessment; Estimates and projections; In-depth studies; Use of research results; Assessment of progress and performance of health systems Communication & use Targeted and comprehensive reporting; Regular country review processes; Global reporting

  6. Selected key outputs of HIS development for HSPA in Thailand • Civil registration and vital statistics by Ministry of Interior and Bureau of Policy and Strategy, MOPH, • A series of National Health Accounts of Thailand from 1994-2008 by IHPP and HSRI, • Thailand Health Profile 2001-2007, and ongoing 2008-2010 by MOPH and its alliance, • A series of Thai Health 2005-2009 by IPSR and THPF, • Assessment of the impact of Thai universal coverage policy on health equity since 2002 until present, • Burden of disease in Thailand 1999 and 2004, • A long series of biennial nationally representative of hh surveys on socio-economic status (SES), health service use, and welfare of Thai households (HWS), • Three rounds of National Health Examination Survey (NHES), and the 4th round in 2009-2010.

  7. Key factors contributing to institutionalization of HSPA in Thailand • Gradual evolving culture among policy makers in using evidence for decision making, • Demand from users  e.g. policymakers, health strategic planners, directors of policy and planning division, researchers, etc. • Adequate financing and skilful human resources for HIS, • Long-term capacity building and skills in some institutes in data generation, compilation, processing, synthesis & analyses, dissemination, communication to the public and policymakers, • Good collaboration and close relationship between data producers and data users, and policymakers, • Networking at sub-national, national, and international levels.

  8. Remaining key challenges in institutionalizing HIS in Thailand • Many HIS institutes/organizations are responsible for different components of HSPA  duplication, inefficiency, and difficulties in networking and standardization, • Gaps in data quality and availability, particularly data of the private sector, • Despite adequate financing, more investment in HIS – both human and financial resources is needed, • Variations in level of technical capacity in data generation, compilation, data processing, data analysis & synthesis, and communication, in some responsible institutes, • Problems in standardization of data generation, collection, and analyses, • Low utilization of evidence from HIS by some policymakers, • Need long term capacity building and champions in HIS of each component of HSPA.

  12. Priority areas and expected outcomes for HIS Development Strategic Plan of Thailand • Create platforms and strengthening network of institutions • responsible for HIS at central, regional, and provincial levels. • Roles and responsibilities of institutions involved in HIS at different • levels are clearly defined and avoid duplication of work. • Adequate budget and financing for HIS. Improved organization/ environment • A set of national health indicators would be developed and regularly • used for HSPA. • Integrated essentials data set and standardization are developed. • Developing tools for data generation, compilation, synthesis, and reporting. • Developing tools for information management and use. Improved technical design • Creating conducive environment to improve motivation of all • stakeholders to implement HIS effectively. • Personnel involved in HIS at different levels are deployed and trained. • Creating opportunities for pre-service training (under / post graduate • education) for health personnel. Improved behaviour
