1 Board of Directors (Public) Item 6.4 Subject: Reference Cost Submission Process 2015/16 Date of meeting: 26 th May 2016 Prepared by: Jim Davies, Deputy Chief Finance Officer Presented by: David Jago, Chief Finance Officer BAF Ref Impact on BAF 6 n/a 1. Executive Summary The purpose of this paper is to: i. Provide an overview of the costing processes in place at the Trust for the completion of reference costs; and ii. To request that the board considers and approves the processes outlined in the paper. With effect from the 2012/13 submission, Monitor highlighted the need for enhanced Board Level engagement in the completion of reference costs. This paper provides the first stage in that process. Further updates will be provided to the Board including a summary of the reference cost position ahead of sign off of final submission by Director of Finance on or before [22nd July 2016]. As part of the approval process, there is a requirement that the Board has sight of, and confirms approval that the trust is compliant with the self-assessment quality checklist (further details of which are included within this paper). Alongside the requirement for enhanced Board level involvement in the process, there is also an increased level of focus on clinical and operational involvement, and this was highlighted in a recent audit undertaken at the Trust. While clinical engagement has always been considered to be a key and essential pillar of the costing process, it is recognised that more formal arrangement is required, and this will be undertaken through Divisional Performance Meeting / Operations Board; as well as specific meetings / discussions as required. The Board is asked to; Note the contents of this paper; and Confirm approval of the processes and approach outlined. 2. Background The reference cost submission is mandatory for all NHS Foundation Trusts and NHS Trusts. The purpose is to provide average unit costs of the services provided by the Trust. These average unit costs are submitted to the Department of Health for the calculation of national average unit costs. These national averages are then used to influence setting the National Tariff. Therefore it is extremely important that the costs submitted are robust and accurate.

2 The average unit costs are based on HRGs i.e. similar groups of treatment which consume similar levels of resource. While the costs are submitted as an aggregated average value, they are built up from extremely detailed patient level information, and so the level of accuracy is high. For the 2015/16, submission the reference costs will be calculated using the same software that is used for Service Line Reporting (SLR) which is called Prodacapo. This means that the cost allocation model is readily available to feed into the reference cost model. The final date for the Reference Cost Submission is the 22 nd July 2016, and the final date for the integrated Reference Cost and Training & Education Cost submissions is the 16 th September Both of which require the approval of the Chief Financial Officer prior to submission. 3. Issues 2015/16 Submission Key Changes The key changes to the reference submission for are summarised as follows: The Trust is required to submit an integrated Reference Cost and Education & Training Cost submission for In the requirement was for the respective returns to be submitted separately. Key changes to the requirements as set out in the guidance for are summarised as follows: o o The first submission which is required is for reference costs only, has a window of submission which opens on the 20 th June 2016 and closes on the 22 nd July During this time the Trust can make as many submissions as it chooses, but the final submission must be made by the 22 nd July 2016, complete with Chief Financial officer approval. The second submission which is required is the integrated submission of both Reference Costs and Education and Training Costs. As with Reference Costs the first date for submission is the 20 th June 2016, with a longer period before submission of the final version which runs until the 16 th September This will require: a. Reference cost at episode level but net of education and training costs; b. Education and Training costs at student year level. Improvements to data quality, validation and assurance. Currently it is the responsibility of the Chief Financial Officer (or a deputy with pre-approved delegated responsibility) to use a specific account on Unify2 to sign-off the reference costs collection. The Department of health (DOH) have introduced an additional step where Trusts must submit a signed pdf document reinforcing the fact that Trust, and its board, have complied with the requirements of Monitor s approved costing guidance. This is attached at Appendix 1. Costing Process The process is set out in Appendix 2. Quality Assurance The Department of Health have provided a Quality Checklist which will provide the Board with assurance that the Trust reference costs are of high quality. This is made up of ten points detailed in Appendix 3.

3 Item 8 on the quality checklist (above) refers to the Materiality and Quality (MAQ) score. This provides an assessment as to the standard of costing assumptions, assessed against national expectations. The scores range from 0.00 (Poor) to 1.00 Good, with an aggregate overall score. The total score the trust costing system in 2014/15 is 78% which is classified as gold standard Only four Trusts in the country achieved gold standard. The analysis of the MAQ Score is shown at Appendix 4, and includes key cost drivers, together with methods for allocation. Benchmarking A high level benchmarking analysis of 2014/15 reference costs is included at Appendix 5. This covers the most common healthcare resource groups and compares against the national average. Further detail is available, and this will form part of the discussions/sense check of outputs with the Divisions. 4. Conclusion. This paper has outlined the proposed approach for the completion of reference costs for 2015/16, incorporating; Key Changes to the Guidance for 2015/16 submissions; The Costing process; Quality Assurance; and High level benchmarking. A draft first submission is scheduled to be made to UNIFY2 on the first day of the open submission (22th June 2015) to test the process. An updated submission will also be made well before the deadline of 22 nd July 2016 and signed off by Chief Financial Officer. The Board will receive regular updates and outputs up until the final submission dates. 5. Recommendations. The Board is asked to; Note the contents of this paper; and Confirm approval of the processes and approach outlined.

4 Appendix 1 - Statement of directors responsibilities for the reference cost return In the production of the annual reference cost return the trust must include a statement of the finance director s responsibilities, in the following form of words: [NHS foundation trusts/nhs trusts] are required pursuant to the [NHS Provider Licence/Accountability Framework] [delete as appropriate] to comply with Monitor s Approved Costing Guidance in the completion of the reference cost return. In preparing the reference cost return the board or relevant sub committee is required to take steps to satisfy themselves that: the reference cost return has been prepared in accordance with Monitor s Approved Costing Guidance, which includes the reference cost guidance the information, data and system underpinning in the reference cost return is reliable and accurate there are proper internal controls over the collection and reporting of the information included in the reference costs, and these controls are subject to review to confirm that they are working effectively in practice costing teams are appropriately resourced to complete the reference costs return, including the self-assessment quality checklist and validations accurately within the timescales set out in the reference costs guidance. the content of the reference cost return is not inconsistent with internal and external sources of information including: Board/delegated committee minutes and papers detailing the process for submission the period April 2016 to [the date of this statement] Board/delegated committee minutes and papers detailing the final submission sign off the period April 2016 to [the date of this statement] The finance director confirms to the best of their knowledge and belief the board has discharged its responsibilities above and the trust has complied with these requirements in preparing the reference cost return.

5 Appendix 2 Costing Process 1. There are some fundamental differences between reference cost requirements and SLR requirements. The most important among them is that costs of non English patients like welsh and Private are excluded for reference cost purposes where as for SLR all patients costs are included for internal management purposes. Another example would be that in SLR, unmatched support services activities and consumables are reported separately. For Reference Costs these costs are absorbed by reported activities. 2. The 2015/16 SLR model will be replicated to create a model purely for reference costs. Various changes are to be made necessary for compliance with reference cost requirements 3. The national reference cost collection process is the development of detailed costing at HRG level which is used for in the development of future tariffs. For a given year the reference cost HRG may be different from payment HRG. Hence, Discharged patients activity data from Patient Administration System (PAS) will be put through Reference Grouper HRG4+, to get the HRG identifier for each episode for the purposes of reference cost. 4. With engagement from clinical leads, the activity used to calculate Reference Costs and the respective outputs will be sense checked and validated. 5. The costs to be included for reference costs will be consistent with the requirements as set out in the reference cost guidance. This will be evidenced through the reconciliation statement which reconciles the reference cost quantum to the Trust s Annual Accounts for 2015/16, clearly showing specific costs excluded from the quantum. 6. The unit costs will be calculated and exported into the reference cost submission workbooks 7. Draft unit costs will be circulated to General Managers, Service Line Managers and clinical leads for sense checking. 8. Evidence based amendments to unit costs will be made where required, and following feedback from the sense check exercise 9. Unit costs will be recalculated and exported onto the final submission workbook 10. Submission workbooks will be uploaded onto UNIFY2 ( a web based submission portal of DOH) 11. In the May Board meeting, the Board will be requested to approve the methodology of reference cost submission for the Trust. 12. In the June Board meeting, a paper will be tabled on the outputs of the exercise and the Board will be requested to approve the outputs of the exercise prior to CFO sign off and Final submission. 13. The Director of Finance will sign off the submission in UNIFY2 on or before 22nd July 2016.

Also the high volume top ten HRGs for each directorate will be shared with internal General Managers for sense checking. External and Independent audits undertaken provide independent assurance. The Clinical Coding Manager undertakes a monthly check on coding of high cost devices such as pacemakers and high cost drugs. The Trust had an external audit of the costing process last year, and relating to the submission. A number of recommendations were made and a paper outlining key actions and responses to the audit was submitted to the IPC in March. An issues log has been opened and shall be maintained and monitored by Deputy Director of Finance highlighting all such outliers. Audit details maintained and details of monthly checks available for review. The MAQ score (Materiality and Quality) for the Trust costing system for 2014/15 is 78% which is gold standard Only five Trusts in the country achieved gold standard. Summary of the log and will be provided as part of the proposed report to the Board in June 10.
