| Inhalt |
All relevant payment models in healthcare financing for providers, insurers, and patients are presented and reviewed. The course also includes an overview of the Swiss context. Approximately 6 weeks of sessions with inputs from the lecturers are planned and then several weeks of presentations in the final weeks of the semester (exact dates to be determined at the start of the course).
Students (working in small groups) will present a case study of an innovative payment model found in another country outside of Switzerland (what it is, when implemented, what are the goals, why implemented [what was prior payment model, etc.], results/outcomes) and also present how this type of model could be implemented in Switzerland (or another country, pending approval by the lecturers). The presentation will include what facilitators exist and what barriers would need to be overcome for successful implementation. Students will be graded based on their presentation, a summary of their case study (up to 2000 words), and on participation in class discussions. |
| Lernziele |
Continued cost pressures on all areas of healthcare delivery (inpatient, outpatient, pharmaceuticals) call into question how healthcare payment can be used to bring new incentives into the delivery of care and related payment mechanisms. Recent innovative payment models have caught the attention of policy makers with promising results. These results may be related to the specific healthcare system they were developed in and/or the positive selection (bias) of providers and/or consumers.
The main learning outcome of this course is to assess innovative payment models from different contexts and identify crucial barriers and facilitators that would need to be considered before a proposed implementation in the Swiss market.
Students will be able to explain:
• various models of healthcare payment: Fee-for-service, capitation, pay for performance, value-based health care, premium design, risk adjustment, innovations in managed care design)
• for each model, their pros and cons, evidence of their impact |
