1 EPIMED: Can DRGs help to improve effectiveness, efficiency and safe use of drugs?

2 Innovation and Information Technologies to improve Health Care Management

3 Background High health care costs (growing) Pharmacological and diagnostic innovation More expensive and sophisticated treatments Personalized medicine Rare diseases Life-threatening diseases becoming chronic Increased life expectancy Patient s rights Economic crisis

4 The challenge Sustainability of the Health System Doing more with less Rationalisation rather than rationing (effectiveness, efficiency and safety) Not only contingency actions but also implementing structural changes Change to grow and to preserve the essential

5 Factors influencing drug costs Purchase price Storage Distribution Inappropriate use of drugs Key concepts Rationalize rather than rationing Networking Prescription management

6 How can we be sure that drugs are used effectively, efficiently and safely? Guideline adherence? Clinical variability? Sequential therapy? Safety problems?

7 How can we identify improvement opportunities? Drug use studies (qualitative and quantitative) Benchmarking How can we estimate the potential benefit of measures we are planning to implement to prioritize them? How can we evaluate the impact of implemented measures?

8 The EPIMED STUDY

9 Drug use studies Patient database Drug use database IR-DRG grouper Qualitative and quantitative drug use evaluation reports 1. Pooled hospital database 2. Single hospital database

38 What does EPIMED contribute to the Pharmacy Department? 1 Allows us to convert a lot of information into knowledge, giving the pharmacist the opportunity to add tangible value to the Health Service. 2 Significantly reinforces the vision of the pharmacist as an advisor instead of an auditor. It s well accepted by physicians who actively participate in analysis sessions. 3 Emphasizes the pharmacist s clinical role and team work with clinicians. 4 Introduces the concept of disease management, in addition to drug management, as the only tool to contain costs and, therefore promote sustainability 5 Places the pharmacist in a leading position in clinical management research.

39 A virtuous circle PHARMACY Pharmacoepidemiology Analysis Unit Drug use reports Clinical session Pharmacists + Physicians Implementation of Improvement measures Agreement

40 Some final thoughts It s a misguided policy to give priority exclusively to short-term measures because of the desire for immediate results, thereby discarding the implementation of other measures that are effective only in the mid- or long-term. Acting only in the short-term ensures that you will need new shortterm measures again and again The only way to get sustained results is to combine contemporaneous short-, mid- and long-term measures. When the impact of short-term measures decreases, the mid-term measures are ready to act and the same will occur with long-term measures.
