PRIMARY CARE:Regional strategies to improve efficacy and equity while guaranteeing
• The chronic patient uses many services which do not resolve his problems– Live longer with chronicity– Delay negative consequencies– Needs control, monitoring, and
organizational acitivities: no specialization
• The chronic patient requires treatment planes, guidelines, for specific diseases– Agreed– Finalized to obtain “continuity of care”– Some problems

• The chronic patient needs to be maintained “on care”– Not guaranteed by hospitals acute
approach– Coordination between hospitals and
primary care
• Is primary care prepared to face chronicity?– It lacks some necessary attributes:
• Contractual conditions• Clinical, management and administrative
expertise
CReG: the motivations
DG SANITA’
15
• We need a new institutional subject:– A manager of a group of many cases
• In the context of L.R. health system general characteristics:– Freedom of choice of provider– Purchaser-provider split– Accreditation– Parity between public and private
companies
• The approach emerged after some experiences, mainly with GPs
CReG: the approach
DG SANITA’
16
• CReG: “Chronic Related Group”– Innovative way of taking care of chronic
cases– A group of predefined resources (tariff)
assigned to an institutional subject to guarantee the delivery of an established treatment plan to chronic patients it has in charge
• CReG requires three technological pillars:– Ability to classify people with regard to
chronicity (type of diseases, staging, …)– An established treatment plan, guidelines– A reimbursement scheme (CReG tariff and
some administrative stuffs)
• CReG requires an organizational platform
CReG: the approach
DG SANITA’

• 1. CReG: how to classify people– A specific information system
• Hospital discharges, outpatient ambulatory services, drug consume
• On an individual basis (PIN)• Paid with a pps scheme (tariffs)• Services purchased outside the region• Large coverage (98% of expenditures)• No GPs activities• No “pure private” activities
– A classification scheme• Also with “disease exemptions”

• 1. CReG: how to classify people– The classification scheme produced a huge
number of classes– Ranking of the diseases (according to
expenditures), and selection of the first two– A manageable number of CReGs (some
hundreds)
• 2. CReG: treatment plans– They identify needs for specific diseases– Experts collected and discussed treatment
plans and guidelines
CReG: the pillars
DG SANITA’
24
• 3. CReG: a reimbursement scheme– To reimburse a global treatment plan (like
DRG), not individual activities (like drugs, visits, examinations, …)
– Two methodological questions:• How to set a tariff• How to manage reimbursement from the
administrative point of view
– How to consider complexity (more than two diseases in the same patient)
• For each CReG: number of diseases • Linearity in expenditures according to
complexity
CReG: the pillars
