Presentation Outline Background to the Study Study Objectives Methodology Results Conclusions 02/07/20152

Background to the Study 02/07/20153

Background Kenya’s new Constitution – citizens’ right to health Devolution of healthcare service provision to Counties Limited health care budgets Need for evidence to guide policymaking and resource allocation Multidimensionality of health system functions Comprehensive and detailed assessment of the healthcare system performance rarely occurs 02/07/20154

Overview of the ABCE Study A collaborative project between Action Africa Help- International (AAH-I) and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), an independent global health research center at the University of Washington, Seattle Launched in 2011 Funded through the Disease Control Priorities Network (DCPN), a multiyear grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation To comprehensively estimate the costs and cost-effectiveness of a range of health interventions and delivery platforms A Multi-country Study allowing for comparisons 02/07/20155

Objectives of the Study 02/07/20156

Objectives of the ABCE Study The ABCE project aimed to answer the questions of : –What is the Cost of producing health services? –Who is Accessing these health services? –What Bottlenecks exist to health service delivery expansion –How Equitable is access to health care services? –What Tools exist for real-time monitoring and tracking health sector growth? 02/07/20157

Methodology 02/07/20158

Study Design Sample design Stratified random sampling - nationally representative sample of health facilities Step 1: Counties from which facilities were drawn were initially grouped into 27 and later into 16 unique categories based on their: Average malnutrition rates – low, middle and high Health expenditures – poor, middle and wealthy Population density - rural, semi-dense and dense Nairobi and Mombasa were automatically included due to their size and relevance to Kenya’s health service provision 18 counties were selected through the county sampling frame Step 2: Entailed sampling facilities from each selected county across the range of platforms i.e. channels identified as offering health services in Kenya. 254 facilities (excluding DHMTs) were randomly selected through the facility sampling frame 02/07/20159

Sampling strategy for facilities

Data Collection Primary data collection took place from April to November 2012 Four main data collection mechanisms: 1.Existing data 2.ABCE Facility Survey – over 2,600 data elements District Health Management Teams (DHMTs) received a modified version of the ABCE Facility Survey. 3.Clinical chart extractions of HIV-positive patients on ART 4.Patient Exit Interview Survey 02/07/201511

ABCE Facility Survey Primary data collection from a nationally representative sample of 254 facilities Collected data on a full range of indicators o Inputs, finances, outputs, supply- side constraints and bottlenecks, indicators for HIV care Randomly sampled a full range of facility types o National and provincial hospitals, district and sub-district hospitals, maternity homes, health centers, clinics, dispensaries, VCT centers, drug stores or pharmacies, and DHMTs

Clinical chart extraction Extracted data on HIV-positive patients currently enrolled in ART Chart data included patient demographic information, ART initiation characteristics (e.g., CD4 cell count, WHO stage, drug regimen, referral points), and patient outcomes

Patient Exit Interview Survey Over 4,200 structured interviews were conducted with patients after they exited study facilities. Questions included reasons for the facility visit, satisfaction with services expenses paid associated with the facility visit, For the ART sub-sample HIV- specific indicators.

Results 02/07/201515

Facility capacity and service provision

Most facilities provided key health services Service was of varied quality Gaps were identified between reported and functional capacity to provide care depicting an urban-rural divide. Availability of recommended equipment and pharmaceuticals was moderately high, but varied within facility types. Facilities showed higher capacities for treating infectious diseases than non-communicable diseases. Non-medical staff and nurses composed a majority of personnel More urban facilities achieved staffing targets than rural ones. 02/07/201517

Facility capacity and service provision Gaps in reported and functional capacity for care Many facilities reported providing a given service, but then lacked the full capacity to provide that service (e.g., lacking functional equipment or stocking out of medications). Service Facilities reporting capacity Facilities with functional capacity Antenatal care89%12% General surgery services58%13%

Facility production of health services

ART patient volumes quickly increased at primary care facilities; other patient visits were more variable over time. Medical staff in most facilities experienced low patient volumes each day. Facilities showed capacity for larger patient volumes given observed resources. ART patient volumes could moderately increase given facility resources, especially for district and sub-district hospitals. 02/07/201522

Efficiency and Cost of Care

Efficiency scores across platforms showed wide heterogeneity, particularly within the private sector ranging from below 20% to 100%. On average, efficiency of public health facilities increased along the levels of care, posting dispensaries at 46% and national and provincial hospitals at 75%. In terms of spending, personnel accounted for the vast majority of annual expenditures across facility types. On average, facility costs per patient varied markedly across facility types –cost per outpatient visit ranged from KShs 342 at public dispensaries to KShs 2,825 at national and provincial hospitals. 02/07/201527

Patient perspectives

Patient Perspectives Most non-HIV patients had medical expenses, whereas few ART patients reported paying for care Most patients spent less than an hour traveling to facilities, whereas waiting times for care varied more Patients gave high ratings for facility providers and slightly lower ratings for facility-based qualities 02/07/201531

Non-HIV patient perspectives Patient reports of expenses associated with facility visit, 2012

Percent of patients ‘very likely’ to return to this facility if needing health services in the future

Conclusions

This multidimensional assessment provides a unique perspective on health facility capacity, costs and quality of care. The study indicates that there is room to utilize existing capacity to expand healthcare service provision at a relatively low marginal cost. Further analyses on this front would provide helpful insights towards Kenya’s aspirations of universal health coverage. 02/07/201535
