2 Aim of the project 1 The main aim of this project is to provide a quantitative analysis on: costs/expenditure, output, productivity, health outcomes, of the Italian health care system based on patient level data by means of a microsimulation model using data collected by individual Italian GPs.

3 The Health Search database in figures patients in the DB; diagnoses/problems; lab tests and diagnostic tests; blood pressure measurements; drug prescriptions. 6 Data available from year 2000 in form of an unbalanced panel

4 Health Search DB: Quality of the data Accuracy: % of coded diagnoses, % of prescriptions linked to diagnoses Completeness: % of data on prevention (i.e. smoking, BMI, cholesterol, Blood Pressure) Frequency of recording: N recorded daily visits visits standardized by No. of total patients

5 Health Search DB: National representativeness - 1 The distribution of patients by age in HSD is very close to the distribution by age recorded by ISTAT (ONS)

6 Health Search DB: National representativeness - 2 Prevalence of chronic pathologies: HSD vs ISTAT (HIS)

7 Health Search DB: National representativeness - 3 DDD/1000 habitant die per each therapeutic group over total DDD/1000 habitant die: HEALTH SEARCH vs OsMed.

8 Prices and Tariffs 1 We have completed the raw information included in the HS dataset with the following data: Drug prices; Lab and diagnostic test tariffs (at regional level); Hospital DRG tariffs (at regional level); GP salary.

9 SiSSI - Italian Simulation Model of Health Expenditure Building up the model 1 Phase 1 - Static model Static analysis of outcomes, output, costs and utilization in the NHS; Total costs (by region, patient, GP, pathology, etc.); Benchmarking across regions, GPs, patients, etc.; Analysis of alternative health policies ("what if"). 2 Phase 2 - Dynamic model Analysis of chronic diseases and the effect that medical treatments have on them; Analysis of health expenditure in the medium-long run; Analysis of financial sustainability of the system.

10 The expected results of the model 1 As all our information are at patient level and over time, we can construct: Price and Quantity Indices; Cost of Treatment Indices; Health Outcomes Indices; Cost-Effectiveness Indices ( health/ inputs) Treatment effect (on treated) indices. 2 All these measures can be produced by good and services, groups of patients, GPs, gender, age, region, disease,...and any possible combination of all characteristics we have in the dataset. 3 Unfortunately we cannot observe patients income and education. However we do have information regarding income exemption status.

13 SiSSI model: Preliminary results - 3 Total cost of treatment (drugs and diagnostic tests), by gender with Confidence Intervals- 2008

14 SiSSI model: Preliminary results - 4 Total cost of treatment (drugs and diagnostic tests), by geographic area

15 SiSSI model: Preliminary results - 5 Total cost of treatment (drugs and diagnostic tests), by geographic area with Confidence Intervals- 2008

16 SiSSI model: Preliminary results - 6 Total cost of treatment (drugs and diagnostic tests), by year

17 SiSSI model: Preliminary results - 7 Total cost of treatment (drugs and diagnostic tests), by year with Confidence Intervals

18 SiSSI model: Preliminary results - 8 Average drug price and ddd price by quarter and year

19 SiSSI model: Preliminary results - 9 Average diagnostic test price by quarter and year

20 SiSSI model: Preliminary results - 10 Average drug prescriptions (ddd) by quarter and year

21 SiSSI model: Preliminary results - 11 Average diagnostic test prescriptions by quarter and year

22 SiSSI model: Preliminary results - 12 Price and Quantity Indices In order to compare over time drug and diagnostic test prescriptions and prices, we used several types of indices, such as Laspeyres price and quantity indices (fixed-base and fixed-weight): P0,t L = n p i,t i=1 p p i,0 i,0 q i,0 n i=1 p i,0 q i,0 Q0,t L = n q i,t i=1 q p i,0 i,0 q i,0 n i=1 p i,0 q i,0 Paasche price and quantity indices (fixed-base and variable-weight): P0,t P = n i=1 p i,t q i,t n p i,t q i,t i=1 p i,t /p i,0 Q0,t P = n i=1 p i,t q i,t n p i,t q i,t i=1 q i,t /q i,0 and Fisher price and quantity indices, the geometric mean of Laspeyres and Paasche indices. Furthermore, we used the following synthetic indices (a cost index and a quantity index): I C 0,t = n i=1 p i,t q i,t n i=1 p i,0 q i,t I Q 0,t = n i=1 q i,t n i=1 q i,0

23 SiSSI model: Preliminary results - 13 With the aim of approximating the impact of technological progress, we produced the following three indices: 1) A cost index with fixed-basket and fixed-quantities. I C1 0,t = n i=1 p i,t q i,0 n i=1 p i,0q i,0 2) A cost index with fixed-basket and variable-quantities. I C2 0,t = n i=1 p i,t q i,t n i=1 p i,0q i,0 3) A cost index with variable-basket and variable-quantities. I C3 0,t = n i=1 p i,t Q i,t n i=1 p i,0q i,0

65 Conclusions and future agenda 1 HS represents an important source of information for output and productivity analysis as it is based on GP and patient microdata. 2 The potential number of GPs enrolled in this project can be easily extended to more than 5.000! This will imply extending our sample to more than 14 millions of patients! 3 More important, the quality, richness and completeness of the information collected could be easily improved over time. 4 The agenda for the future: Include information on non-treated patients Construct weights for inference to the whole population
