13. Focus of medium term planning

14. International Experience • Focus on key cost drivers • Reconfigure care focusing on ambulatory care • Develop clinical leadership • Performance manage – use data • ICT enable • Eliminate services that do not support strategy • Shift to geographic management of services

15. Cost Drivers • In the USA, 75% of health costs are used to treat people with chronic illness. In Australia, chronic illness account for nearly 70% of allocated health expenditure while in Ontario, the economic burden of chronic disease is estimated at 55% of total direct and indirect health costs. Five illnesses are responsible for most of these costs: Asthma, Congestive Heart Failure, Cardio Vascular Disease, Diabetes and mental illness. Reduction in and control of expenditure in these areas can have a large impact on the overall budgetary position. • Health Care Reform Now, A Prescription for Change, George Halvorson, 2007 • National Health Priority Action Council (NHPAC), 2006, National Disease Strategy, Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing, Canberra • Preventing and Managing Chronic Illness: Ontario’s Framework, Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, May 2007

16. Reconfiguration • Reducing inpatient capacity in a planned, swift and sustained manner, substituting in-patient care with ambulatory care in either a hospital or primary care setting. This allows for the delivery of acute services in settings with a critical mass not only improving the cost of services but also the quality of the care provided.
