Fairness measurement in healthcare
systems
In order to measure the fairness in healthcare and
other fairness finance contributions; there are some indicators preferable to
know about before. Some of them are not directly related to our medical work
but still touching the process of whole financing arena. Healthcare finance
contributions and reimbursements undergo many mathematical equations, it means
there are many equations involved to identify the real beneficiaries among all
medical stakeholders and also to identify the share size and demanded capacity
in operation field. More or less there is some sort of complicated calculations
and hope our generous reader do not get panic from that, promising to do my
best to get them in more simplified form. Operational contribution of fairness
in medical care defined as a equal distribution of shares of capacity to pay
across households, why particularly households?!. Because most important
category and above chart of medical care beneficiaries are the households.
Moreover; the whole operational indicators went in the end result in the lap of
society members. The ability of society households to pay their share of
contributions of medical care values defined probably as effective income minus
subsistence expenditures divided on per capita effective income. Therefore, financial
contributions (HFC) uncover the variance among sector of community and
properly identify medical service deprivations. From the same prospect there
are many contribution model charts described considerable variations in the
impact of taxes consequences devoted for society medical health. The
contributions of disposable income of the households varies from total 50 % of
disposable income divided for 25 % for each till the 200% divided for 100% for
each. By the way; disposable income the calculated income of households after
all paid taxed and in many countries used as gauge of economic overall
situation. In order to measure the health financial contributions of certain
society segment explained in coming equation:
Where
HFCi is the health system financing contribution of the household i,
HEi is defined as per capita expenditures of health of household i,
and ENSYi is the per capita effective income minus subsistence
expenditure of household i. HFC is ideally defined over a period of one
year for a households chosen segment of study. But there is a question may be
arrived at some readers mind there is no optimum form of contributions among
households reach to the proper fairness of healthcare share contributions?!.
Actually there is ideal form can serve and achieve better and more utilized
financial fairness model among most of medical providers and even devoted to
the government accountability toward public sector. World health organization
researches did the best to reach such optimum point of assumption and proved its
soundness among countries graced this hypothesis. This hypothesis from WHO
perceptive described the society segments according to disposable income and
power to share and pay your contributions; everyone pays the same amount,
everyone pays for what they receive, everyone pay the equal share of their
incomes and I have ability to say here fixed share of their income because in
some society lack of liquidity will be big burden to achieve the third
parameters. Forth parameter; everyone pays the equal share of their disposable
income and the difference between two terms mentioned formerly and last one;
the richest segment of society pay ten percent for everyone. The parameters are
not fixed and there are many of charts and acceptance variations among them but
at least we put our hands on guided parameters to modify them for what suited
to our life. Full health J
