Estimating Access to Health Care in Russia O.V. Borisenko, P.A. Vorobyev Russian Forum XI European Congress of ISPOR 10.10.2008
Equity and accessibility • Financial equity – justified sharing of spending for health care between population, society, government, industry – according to their opportunities • Medical equity – each patient has access to MEDICAL CARE that he/she needs P.A. Vorobiev, 2008
Availability of drugs = availability of medical care??? Often, there is funding only for separate elements of medical care (fragmented): “Program 7 rare diseases”: drugs, but no diagnostics (catastrophic situation with diagnostics of diseases and monitoring the effectiveness of drugs), lack of training for primary care staff, specialists, patients, poor logistics of drug distribution, not all drugs and not to everyone
Consumption of the VIII clotting factor in Russia, МЕ per capita Consumption ofclotting factors increased in 59 times since 1996, since 2004 – in 14 times RUSSIAN HEMOPHILIA SOCIETY National member organization of the World Federation of Hemophilia
What is being done on hemophilia? • Consumption ofclotting factors increased in 59 times since 1996, since 2004 – in 14 times • There are standards of medical care and protocols of care for patients with hemophilia and von Willebrand's disease • Several annual conferences and schools for doctors and patients • Offices of All-Russian Society on Hemophilia (ARSH) in 61 subjects of Russian Federation
Results of the joint study of RSPOR and Russian Hemophilia Society (12.2007-02.2008) • The portion of patients on preventive treatment in the absence of bleeding – 3,2%!!! • The portion of patients who experienced bleeding during the last month – 65,9%!!! • The average number of bleeding during the last month (median)– 4!!! • However, patients on ineffective treatment with bleeding rate the quality of life as58,4 against 71,5in the group of preventive treatment and the lack of bleeding (p <0.05) The situation in hemophilia is the best among all diseases, for other diseases the situation is unknown
What have we learned? • “To hand out” drugs • “To wrest” money from the Government • To conduct training seminars and conferences • To develop standards and protocols What do we have in discharge?
Shall we continue to «measure» the effectiveness of government programs and investment by general fertility, mortality, etc.? • Sensible and valid indicators of quality are necessary • Assessing the impact - in the monitoring research (RSPORstudies hemophilia, multiple sclerosis, prepares the study ofmyeloma, lymphoma, Gaucher disease, mucopolysaccharidosis) • Rating «at the entrance» (appearance of drug) and then – annual control • Evaluation of the whole population of registered patients – data for the really effective register of patients
Quality indicators of the program on drug supply for patients with hemophilia • The portion of patients on preventive treatment in the absence of bleeding(more than 8 introduction of clotting factor per month) • The portion of patients who experienced bleeding during the last month • The portion of patients, registered after 2005, infected with HBV/HCV, HIV • The portion of patients, registered after 2005, who have a «fresh» joint destruction • The patients’ quality of life • The number of days during last three months, which were spent on obtaining drugs (writing out a prescription, visit to the drugstore)
