1 SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Extrapolation and potential impact of IPHS deployment in Europe JRC IPTS IS Unit Ioannis Maghiros, Fabienne Abadie, Maria Lluch, Francisco Lupiañez, Elena Villalba, Bernarda Zamora Disclaimer: "The views expressed in this presentation are purely those of the authors and may not in any circumstances be regarded as stating an official position of the European Commission

2 Overview SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan Policy objective Quantifying value of ehealth market in Europe and potential benefits with view to assessing the costseffectiveness of ehealth treatments Outline Methodology Analysis of Prevalence, mortality, and health costs Definition of Indicators linked to objectives Extrapolation and Results

3 Methodology SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan Monitoring: assessing expected results Collect, analyze and complete country-level statistics on health status, resources and costs for the three main chronic diseases in the EU27 countries Translate objectives into quantitative indicators Link health status, health resources and costs to objectives and assess the level at which they can be reached through telehealth and telecare based on static ASSUMPTIONS OF IMPACT

4 Methodology SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan Limitations: Impact Evaluation and Modelling Causal contribution not estimated (but assumed) Spillover effects such as economies of scale and scope not considered Dynamic feedback effects of the objectives reached to initial health status, health resources and costs not considered

5 Methodology SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan Indicators linked to objectives Value of ehealth potential market: as the product of prevalence (number of people suffering a disease) by the assumed levels of ehealth deployment and of monitoring costs of the ITC components Savings in hospitalization: as the product of total hospital bed days used by its costs, and by the assumed parameters about ehealth deployment and about impact on reduced hospitalization Value of reduced mortality: as the product of number of deaths caused by disease by the assumed parameters about ehealth deployment and about impact on reduced mortality Break-even indicator: costs per ehealth monitored day such that the Value of ehealth potential market equals the Savings in hospitalization

7 Health Status: Chronic Diseases SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan Prevalence: Data availability and imputations Diabetes: Diabetes Atlas 4 th Edition, 2010, national series (measured over age group) CHF: No international statistics in prevalence of coronary diseases Literature estimates range of 1% to 3% for CHF prevalence Frost&Sullivan 2010 (F&S) collects data on CVD prevalence for 12 of the EU27 countries - Assumption: the variability of CHF prevalence is highly correlated to the percentage of hospital discharges diagnosed as Heart Failure (HF) over total hospital discharges. - Data on hospital discharges in HF available from HMDB WHO/Europe and Eurostat - Average EU27 % hospital discharges HF = 1.96%. - Correlation % hospital discharges HF and CVD prevalence = 33%. COPD: F&S collects prevalence statistics for 18 countries. The data for the remaining countries have been completed first from Health For All Database WHO/Europe (HFA-DB) and by taking the percentage of hospital discharges in COPD for the cases of Cyprus, Estonia and Slovenia. The correlation coefficient between the series taken from F&S and the alternative series reach a 36%.

10 Health Status: Chronic Diseases SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan Mortality: Data availability and imputations Annual mortality rates are reported for Diabetes. For CHF and COPD, mortality data correspond to the higher classification of diseases: CVD and All Respiratory Diseases, respectively. Assumption: to obtain mortality caused by CHF and COPD a fraction equal to the part of hospital discharges in CHF over CVD, and to the part of hospital discharges in COPD over all respiratory diseases, is multiplied to the reported mortality caused by CVD and all respiratory diseases, respectively. WHO Department of Measurement and Health Information, reports number of deaths caused by COPD.

CHF mortality is assumed equal to a fraction of CVD mortality, the fraction being %hospital discharges in HF over CVD COPD mortality is assumed equal to a fraction of respiratory diseases mortality, the fraction being %hospital discharges COPD over respiratory diseases. Diabetes mortality is taken from Diabetes Atlas 4th Edition.

12 Healthcare expenditures SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan CHF per in-patient costs are assumed equal to CVD per in-patient costs, with total-inpatient costs taken from the European Cardiovascular Disease Statistics 2008 (British Heart Foundation). COPD per-inpatient costs are assumed equal to average for all diseases. Diabetes in-patient costs are assumed a 35% of the costs reported by the Diabetes Atlas, being 35% the percentage of in-patient expenditures over health expenditures at EU27 level. Number of in-patients and number of bed days data from HMDB WHO/Europe and Eurostat. Series of hospital costs per in-patient Series of costs per hospital bed day

13 Healthcare expenditures SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan Assumption: COPD average costs per hospital bed day equal average costs per hospital bed day for all diseases, estimated at 649 Figure: COPD, the in-patient costs are estimated at 5,400 per in-patient ( 602 per hospital bed day) for all EU27 countries.

16 Translate Objectives into Indicators SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan Objectives of the extrapolation exercise: Potential market: costs of the ITC ehealth component Impact: benefits translated to: - reduction of healthcare costs, in particular hospitalization costs - improvement of quality of life, in particular delaying mortality one year

17 Link input data to Indicators SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan

18 Link input data to Indicators SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan Assumptions on ehealth deployment and its costs: Telehealth - deployment level of 20% - cost per monitored patient per day at 4 which corresponds to the tender costs of a telehealth project in Lombardy (Abadie, F. et al., 2011) Telecare - deployment level of 16% over the 65 and older population - cost of 0.5 per patient per day. It has been found that the monitoring costs of 1st generation telecare ranges between 10 and 30 Euros per month (DG INFSO: ICT & Ageing: European Study on Users, Markets and Technologies, 2010)

20 Link input data to Indicators SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan Impact Assumptions on reduced hospitalization: - Σ is defined as a 25% reduction in bed days for patients treated by telehealth, according to a Care Coordination/Home Telehealth" program introduced by the Veterans Health Administration in the US (See Abadie, F. et al. 2011).

21 Link input data to Indicators SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan

22 Link input data to Indicators SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan Impact Assumptions on reduced mortality: The assumed monetary value of an extra year of life (Ω) is 30,000 Euros. The parameter of reduced deaths Μ : - 35% of the number of deaths of telehealth monitored patients - 20% of the number of deaths of telecare monitored patients. - This benchmark for reduced death at 35% is higher than other benchmarks found in the literature at 20%, but lower than the one estimated from the Whole System Demonstrator programme in UK which reaches a 45% (Headline Findings Department of Health. UK).

31 Next step: Modelling Impact SIMPHS2 Validation Workshop Brussels, 31 Jan We can do better. Can we have a Break-even depending on the ehealth Deployment level? - Different growth rate of monitored total patients than monitored hospitalized patients - Adding an effect of deployment level on average length of stay in hospitals Break-even increasing with deployment level? Yes, if the effect on reduced hospitalization increases at higher rate than the monitored patients. Can we estimate feedback effects of deployment level on prevalence and mortality rates?
