1 Priority setting: the case of new drugs Parallel session: Universal Health Coverage, costing and prioritization Dr Jeremy Lauer Health Systems Governance and Financing 1 Department of Health Systems Governance and Financing

2 Priority Setting Asks: What's the best that can be done? (includes all kinds of benefit attributable to the health system see next slide). Is indifferent to what has already been done (so past history is not 'baked in'). Thus, not done at the margin (in economic terms, all constraints relaxed). 2 Department of Health Systems Governance and Financing

3 Priority setting and UHC Universal Health Coverage (UHC): Priority setting within and across the 3 dimensions of the 'UHC cube': 1. Which population groups should be covered first. WHO? 2. Cover more services for the people already covered (and/or increase quality). WHAT (i.e. which services)? 3. Reduce out of pocket payments further for people currently covered with a set of services. HOW MUCH does it cost? Real choices involve a combination of dimensions. 3 Department of Health Systems Governance and Financing

4 UHC cube 4 Department of Health Systems Governance and Financing

5 Decision making Asks "What is the 'next' thing to do?" Or, What do we do now? Depends on what's already been done (past history is be 'baked in'). Done at the margin. 5 Department of Health Systems Governance and Financing

6 Strategic planning Intermediate between Priority setting and Decision-making. Asks, "Given a set of Priorities and a set of Activities, how can we make our activities look more like our priorities?" Looks at time in 'bite-size chunks' (usually 3-10 years). Can be thought of as Decision making that takes account of priorities in forming objectives. Multiple constraints addressed (incl. Affordability). 6 Department of Health Systems Governance and Financing

7 OneHealth Tool for strategic planning Uses results from Priority Setting exercise to set objectives. Allows decision makers (DMs) to quantify: Impact of their national plans on population health Cost of the national plans (Does not currently have a Hepatitis B/C module.) Allows DMs to confirm presence of the necessary: financial resources health workers and health system infrastructure etc. 7 Department of Health Systems Governance and Financing

8 That's the Theory. Now comes the hard part: Practice. 8 Department of Health Systems Governance and Financing

9 New medicines availability Highly effective, highly costly new medicine => 'cost effective' new treatment. Should it be introduced? Depends on: What else it displacing? (not good if it displaces more CE activities => going backwards ) Is it affordable? (will it absorb all available public funding)? Availability of health system platform for delivery and follow up? Etc. 9 Department of Health Systems Governance and Financing

10 Conclusions Keep in mind: Medicines price is a variable, not a constant. Assuming priority etc. has been established, it's useful to ask: At what price will the new therapy become as cost effective as existing alternatives? as cost effective as what is displaced? 10 Department of Health Systems Governance and Financing

11 Health system implications New medicines have important implications for basic health services, which may be weak and under-developed. More cost-effective interventions in such settings include: strengthening early detection and effective treatment. Same implications for many new therapies: Cost effective but not affordable. 11 Department of Health Systems Governance and Financing
