1 The Czech National Health Care Information System (NH-IS) and its strategy in building population-based reporting Evropská unie Evropský sociální fond Operační program Zaměstnanost Regional reporting of NH-IS

2 I. Introducing NH-IS Evropská unie Evropský sociální fond Operační program Zaměstnanost Regional reporting of NH-IS

3 The Czech National Health Care Information System NH - IS NH-IS can contribute to the optimization of health care system and to the monitoring of population of health. NH-IS = very complex system Statistical surveys (clinical reports on care, economy of providers) Health care registries (real world observations, based on representative reporting) Reference information systems (ehealth key components) International collaboration and reporting (Health Data OECD, Eurostat, EHIS, EHLEIS, )

4 Key mission of the Czech NH-IS I. Evidence-based medicine NH-IS! Clinically based evidence 14% 12% 10% 8% 6% 4% 2% 0% UL: 0,7 TP: 0,9 MO: 3,6 DC: 6,4 LI: 37,8 CL: 10,8 JN: 30,3 Počet (na osob) CH: 28,9 SO: 24,7 TC: 5,4 DO: 4,0 KV: 8,1 CV: 0,9 LN: 3,5 LT: 4,1 ME: 3,8 MB: 7,6 KD: 5,4 RA: 5,3 PH: 11,1 NB: 3,3 AX: 12,6 PS: 12,5 BE: 1,0 PZ: 9,4 KO: 13,8 RO: 8,8 PM: 22,9 KH: 2,1 PJ: 12,9 PB: 4,2 BN: 2,5 SM: 24,2 JC: 12,9 HB: 2,8 TU: 12,8 HK: 52,3 PA: 21,7 CR: 11,2 NA: 8,4 RK: 13,0 UO: 9,7 SY: 8,3 SU: 1,1 JE: 1,9 BR: 0,8 OP: 6,2 OT: 12,8KA: 7,1 KT: 9,4 ST: 3,0 PT: 43,4 PI: 7,6 CB: 29,3 TA: 3,5 PE: 3,2 JH: 32,0 JI: 22,9 TR: 3,6 ZR: 2,1 BO: 3,7 BK: 1,0 BM: 3,9 PV: 3,2 VY: 0,9 OL: 0,8 KM: 2,4 PR: 2,8 ZL: 2,7 NJ: 25,7 VS: 14,8 FM: 36,3 CK: 13,1 ZN: 6,1 UH: 1,5 HO: 0,5 BV: 0,7 Everybody knows what to do! Does really everybody do it?

5 Key mission of the Czech NH-IS II. Basic elements of effective e-health information system Czech approach: e-identification/certification of health care professionals - e-identification/certification of health care providers - monitoring of patient s trajectory in the health care system - quantification of consumed health care services: classification, extent and cost National registry of health care professionals National registry of health care providers Health care records in centralized data store of reimbursement companies

6 II. Building NH-IS: main challenges Evropská unie Evropský sociální fond Operační program Zaměstnanost Regional reporting of NH-IS

7 Effective system must answer very complex questions How to facilitate and control implementation of clearly given evidence-based guidelines? and how to update them? Interventions How to control population based interventions in a way which supports equity of care? and how to interlink consequent steps? How to control population and its health status (mortality, morbidity, survival,.)?

8 Effective system must cover multiple and heterogeneous data sources DATA INTEGRATION and reporting? HOW TO MANAGE IT? SEPARATED KEY INFORMATION SOURCES Diagnostics NON-STANDARDIZED INFORMATION SYSTEMS Clinical monitoring Health care payers

9 Effective system cannot increase administrative burden of health care professionals? The Czech strategy is to develop a system utilizing already generated / collected administrative data and health care records

10 III. Three views defining modern NH-IS Evropská unie Evropský sociální fond Operační program Zaměstnanost Regional reporting of NH-IS

11 I. Management view Integration of very complex data Cost Optimization of networks; reasonable distribution of care Outcomes Processes Therapy Health technology assessment; cost effectiveness Inpus Diagnostics Risks QA/QC: Health care quality assessment

12 II. System view Comprehensive coverage of all segments of care Diagnostics & therapy Prevention screening Primary care Follow-up Supportive care Palliative care Really comprehensive national health care data collection cannot be based on hundreds of separated registries for individual diagnoses

13 III. Legal background including data integration and protection policy Ensuring representative data is a significant step to guarantee the system functionality; this also includes the legislation.! This applies particularly to the Amendment to Act No. 372/2011 Coll., on Health Services, which would make it possible to analyse data from health care payers.!!

14 Conclusion: NH-IS architecture National registry of health care professionals Targeted surveys National registry of health care providers Specialized registries Health care records in centralized data store of reimbursement companies

15 Example of outcomes: The Czech National Cancer Care Information System Czech National Cancer Control Program Information Platform

16 IT infrastructure for monitoring of cancer care Cancer centres network as a regional managing system Epidemiology Population-based registries Population and treatment burden National Cancer Registry Hospitals Specialized registries Hospital information systems Local and national registries Monitoring of health care EHR Primary care (GPs, gynaecologists) Hospital care Specialized care and cancer centres Equity of health care Structure of health care Results of health care Quality of health care REPORTS Distribution of health care Volume of health care Data validation

17 Examples of IS functionality: Hospital-based monitoring Self benchmarking against centralized repository Dissemination of reports among centers CENTRALIZED DWS Representative base for clinically relevant analyses of consecutively treated patients

18 Set of indicators: health care quality & population-based health indicators

19 EXAMPLE OF RESULTS - I. Modern comprehensive data-based reporting Czech National Cancer Control Program Information Platform

20 National on-line data-based reporting

21 Treated patients / year Counts per inhabitants Counts per inhabitants Examples of reporting: I. Population level & II. Hospital level Model diagnosis: colorectal carcinoma Main trends: incidence & mortality 600 Main trends: prevalence +49.1% Clinical stages: primary diagnosis 100% TNM 2. TNM 3. TNM 4. TNM 5. TNM 6. TNM % % % incidence mortality Incidence Mortality Absolute counts in Counts per in %: trend change Prevalence (31/12/2013) Absolute counts Counts per ,1 20% 0% Stage of the disease unknown not recorded Distribution of care among regions/centers Volume of cancer care: capacity mapping N = Benchmarking of outcome measures: Survival after given medication vs. EBM trials 1,0 0,8 0,6 Medián OS Registr CORECT medián OS - 28,4 měsíce Studie AVF2107g* medián OS - 20,3 měsíce Studie NO16966 * medián OS - 21,2 měsíce 200 0, , Rank of hospitals 0, Čas (měsíce)

Predictive mapping of cancer burden Model diagnosis: colorectal carcinoma CRC (C18 C20) Stage I Stage II Stage III Stage IV TOTAL INCIDENCE PREVALENCE (95 % CI) (95 % CI) Prediction: (1903; 2197) (21 136; ) 1951 (1844; 2057) 2117 (2010; 2226) 1631 (1359; 1903) 8037 (7298; 8777) (18 877; ) (14 912; ) 7083 (6945; 7221) (64 911; )

23 Predictive mapping of cancer burden model concept Population-based predictive models Expert inputs and corrections Adjusted for clinical stage Stagespecific estimate of prevalence of treated patients Surviving cancer patients with relapse/progression of primary disease Primarily treated patients Relapse/ progression Scenario 1 (%) Scenario (%) Scenario (%) Scenario (%) Cost calculation

24 Example of clinical outcome assessment Model diagnosis: colorectal carcinoma Population-based monitoring CRC: 5-yr relative survival Cohort Cohort Period Period Hospital-based benchmarking Stage 1 64,9 % 76,2 % 87,6 % 91,8 % Stage 2 48,4 % 62,9 % 73,7 % 79,4 % Stage 3 40,0 % 41,8 % 54,5 % 62,2 % Stage 4 12,0 % 10,7 % 13,9 % 16,2 % Total 47,9 % 51,7 % 59,4 % 65,4 %

33 Target area of CCCN Together, South Moravian Region and the Vysočina Region (target area for CCCN) account for 18% of the total area of the Czech Republic. Although these two regions are geographically next to each other, their remote parts are very different and provide thus representative sample for piloting of CCCN. South Moravian Region Vysočina Region Both regions Population (as of 31/12/2015) Area (km2) Population density (per km2) Number of districts Number of municipalities Total length of roads and motorways (km, estimation) Total length of railway network (km, estimation)
