2. Using EVPM Techniques in Theatre Management of WIES (DRG’s) and Healthcare Projects June 13, 2011 Casemix has been established as a valuable tool for improving and managing Australia’s health care system, since 1988 when it became part of the National Health Care Services agenda as part of the 1988 Medicare Agreements. Increasingly, it is being used for output measurement; resource allocation (ie., funding, paying, and charging); quality improvement; comparative analyses; and the monitoring of trends over time.

6. Using EVPM Techniques in Theatre Management of WIES (DRG’s) and Healthcare Projects June 13, 2011 Cost Weights Cost weights are developed each year based upon the costs of treating individual patients in Victorian public hospitals. Hospitals report the costs of over half a million patients annually. In addition to new cost weights, Department of Human Services (DHS) often makes changes to the WIES in response to industry concerns. Consequently, casemix funding in Victoria has evolved considerably from the relatively simple model introduced in 1993-1994.

7. Using EVPM Techniques in Theatre Management of WIES (DRG’s) and Healthcare Projects June 13, 2011 Standard Rates Hospitals/Health Services are funded at standard rates per WIES. Metropolitan hospitals receive $2350 per WIES while country hospitals receive slightly more in recognition of the higher fixed costs of running small rural hospitals.

10. Using EVPM Techniques in Theatre Management of WIES (DRG’s) and Healthcare Projects June 13, 2011 The results were well received by Management

11. Using EVPM Techniques in Theatre Management of WIES (DRG’s) and Healthcare Projects June 13, 2011 In other words there was little or no Forecasting or Performance Measurement on a concurrent basis, resulting in Crisis Management , more than one financial quarter after the event. Basically because no framework existed to plan healthcare services within Government budget.

14. Using EVPM Techniques in Theatre Management of WIES (DRG’s) and Healthcare Projects June 13, 2011 The research showed that Project Management techniques could deliver the framework without the need to develop expensive software and solutions .
