NATIONAL HEALTH COMMITTEE

Statutory Advisory Committee responsible for providing the New Zealand Minister of Health with independent, evidence based recommendations on: Which technologies should be publicly funded To what level and where technology should be provided How new technology should be introduced and old

technology removed

So as to provide New Zealanders with the most effectivehealth services within the public health budget

N AT I O N A L H E A LT H C O M M I T T E E 2 0 1 5

Page 8: NATIONAL HEALTH COMMITTEE PETER GUTHRIE AND ANNE KOLBE NATIONAL HEALTH COMMITTEE 2015.

WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ACHIEVE?

High quality health, wellbeing and independence outcomes for individual patients and populations

Evidence based value for money Sector sustainability Enhanced health contribution to GDP growth

The NHC will be remembered for how it contributes to the first three goals – “bending the cost curve” through

technology adoption and management

Sustainability: Continuing to provide the range and types of services (outcomes) currently available, or better, without incurring excessive levels of taxes and / or debtVfM = measurable health outcomes / $ value resources invested

AMD MODEL OF CARE

Population: Progressive dry AMD or suspicion of wet AMD Setting: Outpatient ophthalmology

Population: Stable early to intermediate dry AMD Setting: Community optometry

Population: Late dry AMD (GA) Setting: Outpatient ophthalmology

Population: Wet AMD Setting: Outpatient ophthalmology Population: Wet AMD Setting: Inpatient treatment

Diagnosis of wet AMD

N = 115,000-165,000 Costs = $4.3-$6.2M

Presents to optometrist (may by GP referral). − Patient history, VA, fundus assessment

(SBM)

− 2-yearly VA and fundus assessment by optometrist

Referral from optometrist or directly from GP or other health service if sudden loss of vision/distortion or other symptoms − VA and fundus assessment (OCT,

fundus photos or AF +/- FFA +/- ICG)

Symptoms or progression necessitating referral to an ophthalmologist

N = 14,000-42,000 Costs = $3M-$8M

N = 5000-10,000 Costs = $0.5M-$1M

N = 9000-18,000 Costs = $4M-$8M

- AREDS treatment - VA and fundus assessment +/- AF

N = 1500 Costs = $4.5M

Diagnosis of intermediate to late dry AMD

Population: Low vision Setting: Outpatient and community

− Assessment for treatment (VA, OCT, fundus photos +/- FFA +/- ICG)

− Treatment options o Anti-VEGF o Photodynamic therapy o Laser photocoagulation o Treatment futile

- Low vision rehabilitation - Blindness equipment and support

N = 6000 Costs = $3.7M Low vision or blindness not

amenable to treatment (advanced wet or dry AMD)

Health Care in America, 2012

• Approximately 30% of U.S. healthcare is duplicative or unnecessary

• Inappropriate or over-utilized medical tests account for $250 to $300 billion in U.S. medical expenses each year

• Inappropriate testing not only compromises the quality of care but, in some cases, may pose risk or harm to patients by leading to more testing and unnecessary procedures or medication

• Do not perform population-based screening for 25-OH- Vitamin D deficiency.

• Do not perform low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) testing.

• Avoid routine preoperative testing for low-risk surgeries without a clinical indication.

• Only order methylated septin (SEPT9) on patients for whom conventional diagnostics are not possible.

• Do not use bleeding time tests to guide patient care.
