Introduction – Problems background Universal Health Coverage (UHC) UHC initiated by WHO is a parameter for government to guarantee health access to everybody. Universal Health Coverage (UHC) implemented in Indonesia through JKN (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional / National Health Security) program is deploying the casemix system called INA-CBGs (Indonesia Case Based Groups). The program is managed by BPJS Health (Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial in Health / Social Insurance Administration Organization in Health) and targeting 2019 to reach 100% UHC. The INA-CBGs system which is based on static formulas has caused un-satisfaction to patient, doctors, and hospital in Indonesia. These problems are primarily caused inaccurate input parameters, calculation method, unsuitable clinical pathway and lack of databases to identify severity.
Introduction – Problems Statement Existing medical cost calculation methods are still inaccurate, caused by: Inaccurate input parameters. The input used for the current system is costing and coding of hospitals Only 157 hospitals from 2218 Indonesia hospitals contributed.
Errors in clinical coding. Most Doctors do not understand the classification of diseases based on ICD10 and ICD9, Coder will help doctor to define that. Coder incorrectly defines coding from a doctor's diagnosis
Unsuitable clinical pathway in hospital. BPJS does not provide instructions for using clinical pathways. Many hospital claims are not accepted because the clinical pathway is not appropriate.
The income of health workers must be balanced with service. Hospitals cannot plan hospital finances.
Introduction – Research Hypothesis The appropriate medical cost calculation system will be able to overcome data inaccuracies, accuracy in calculating unit costs and inaccurate classification of diseases The appropriate medical cost calculation system will ensure the satisfaction of health stakeholders (doctor, patient and hospital). The appropriate medical cost calculation system will be able to predict the health costs of patients, hospitals and government .
Introduction – Research Objective 1. To evaluate existing medical charge calculation system. 2. To develop new system for calculating medical charge using a combination of artificial intelligence methods. 3. To evaluate new medical charge calculation in term: The payment fairness (patient and health worker) Accuracy of disease classification Medical charge accuracy Health care cost prediction accuracy.
Introduction – Scope of study Workflow Scope • • • •
Literature studies (journal, expert interview and survey) Benchmarking (DRG concept and existing INA-CBG tariff calculation) Data collection (expert, doctor, patient and hospital finance) Data analysis, system modeling, simulation (using RapidMiner Studio and MATLAB) and testing (medical charge calculation and disease classification).
Material Scope • Focus on the highest cause of death and catastrophic illness in Indonesian such as Stroke, Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer, and Kidney Failure. • Focus on medical charge calculation system in Indonesia, other countries also discuss for comparison.
Literature study – Health Financing Health Cost Health Costs in consumer side Resource: Tax Based Funding (Government Funding and Government Insurance), Community Based Health Funding (Global Fund), Private Sector (Private Funding and Private Insurance), Out of Pocket (OOP) Payment Method: Retrospective Payment (FFS = Fee for Service) Prospective Payment (Casemix) Health Costs in Provider side Basic cost classification: Fixed Cost (FC), Variable Cost (VC), Semi Fixed Cost, Semi Variable Cost, Total Cost (TC), Annualized Fixed Cost (AFC). Cost Type based on the effect on changes in production scale, based on the duration of use, based on the function and activity of cost sources, and based on unit-cost
Literature study – Health Financing Health Service Charge (tariff) Propose of tariff calculation: Determination of Cost Recovery Rates (CRR) and Cross Subsidies Cost. Improve Service access and quality. Reduce competitors, maximize revenue, minimize use, create corporate image. Determination Process: Full-cost pricing > Determine tariff according to unit costs plus profits. Contracts and cost-plus > Hospital tariff can be determined based on contracts for insurance companies, or consumers who are members of one organization Target rate of return pricing > This method is a modification of the full-cost method above, ex: tariff determined by directors must have a 10% profit. Acceptance pricing > This technique is used if on the market there is one hospital that is considered a role model (market leader) in price and the price is referred to by other hospitals. Pricing by looking at competitor pricing above / below competitors Setting tariffs on government organizations (according to the government)
Literature study – DRG History The most widely used casemix classification Depend on their goal and purpose, as well as modality of application vary importantly. Used to classify acute admitted care (not used for non-admitted care) Classes defined by principal medical diagnosis, plus variables such as other diagnoses and procedures. These variables are ‘cost-drivers’: They drive (predict) the cost of acute care (not good predictors to predict mental health). DRG’s part is updated regularly: • Updates of Cost Weights (CW) • Update of Casemix Index (CMI) • Update of Base Rates (HBR) • Adjustment Factor (aF)

DRG Comparison Diagnosis Related Groups Developed based on acute health conditions Uses mainly diagnosis and procedures in the classification system. Implementing DRG: Grouper, Diagnosis, Procedure Impact of DRG Mainly for cost-containment: create inventive for hospital to control/reduce the costs reduce the LOS of patients and increase number of patient admissions > increase efficiency Problems: Reduction in Length of Stay (up to 25%) Low rate of growth of hospital costs. Decrease in hospital profit margins. > Other effects: up-coding, effect on out-patients care cost.

Literature study – Clinical Pathway Clinical Pathway is a flow of patient service activities that are specific to a particular disease or action, from patient admission to patient discharge which is an integration of medical services, nursing services, pharmaceutical services and other health services. Clinical pathways are very instrumental in patient recovery, length of stay and health financing. Every hospital can define Clinical Pathways based on facilities and doctors they have. To ensure service quality, there is a need for minimum and standard clinical pathways.

Research Methodology – Assumption Clinical Pathway: • Clinical Pathway is the basic for cost calculation. • Clinical Pathway depends on patient severity, patient pay-ability, facilities, medication, and doctor. Hospital issue: • Hospital benefits range from 5-15% of the total cost depending on the cost item and must be determined by the government. • The costs of health workers have standard costs set by the government (Salary of doctors and nurses in hospitals based on education, work experience and achievement) • Hospital service charges will be adjusted to the patient's ability to pay. Severity Level: • Severity of disease depends on Risk of disease Predictor (doctor diagnosis on machine learning). • Severity levels are the basis for choosing a Clinical Pathway. Medical Charge • Unit Cost depends on facilities, medication and doctor. • This system focus on input to define medical charge. • Medical charge depend on Clinical Pathway that patient choose.

This system uses a Real Cost method and specific calculation system for each hospital so that cost calculations can be more accurate. The system able to give alternative for health financing for patient, hospital and government. This system is able to predict heath expenditure for any health stakeholder (patient, doctor, hospital and government).
Conclusion The development of this system is expected to help government achieve the 100% UHC target. This system is expected to solve the current problems, such as payment fairness, accuracy of disease classification and medical charge accuracy. This system can provide health care cost prediction to decision makers to plan their health financing. • Government Health Expenditure Planning (for government). • Hospital Cost planning (for hospital). • Discharged Planning System (for patient).
