iHTP and human resource needs Dheepa Rajan, Peter Heimann, Andrei Issakov, World Health Organization, Geneva
iHTP Concept and Methodology The integrated Healthcare Technology Package (iHTP) is an intervention-based healthcare resource planning tool. Resource = Human resource, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, facilities It integrates healthcare needs, disease epidemiology, patient demographics, clinical practice, and technology constraints to define the resource requirements necessary to deliver a defined set of health services
Providing effective and efficient health care involves putting together many resource inputs
iHTP Concept What ? How ? How much ? Medical Equipment Health Package Guidelines Procedure Drugs Inter- ventions Human Resources Facilities
Clinical guidelines • iHTP reference database contains 4500 pre-linked procedurals • Over 300 clinical guidelines (iHTP terminology: scenarios) have been completed and are available on the web; • Scenarios can be adapted to any country situation;
Epidemiological profiles • Population indicators • Coverage rate and hospital admissions • Target indicators (i.e. caesarean rates) can be model to over specific years; • Allows scaling up
Examples DRC (district health package) Ukraine (perinatal health package)
Resource planning objectives in DRC • What resources (human resources, equipment, drugs, facilities) are necessary to revitalize a health zone and provide basic health services to the population? • What are the operational costs? • What resources are necessary to scale up health service delivery from the present state? Is the DRC's Health Systems Strengthening Strategy (HSSS) affordable? Key Questions
Scenario development • Mapped by local experts – knowledge transferred • Local norms and standards incorporated • Modifications and adaptations to package made easily
iHTP objectives in Ukraine • Which types and quantities of resources are needed in order to enable the essential perinatal package in the Ukraine • What are the ensuing costs per time interval (e.g. one month or one year). • Validate the iHTP mapped perinatal package against a number of existing facilities. What are the main deviations observed? (e.g. is there a major lack or excess of human resources?) • What are key constraints impeding the implementation of the new standards? Main Secondary
