Contracting defined
•
Contracting is a purchasing mechanism
used to acquire:
▫
from a specific
provider
▫
a specified
service
▫
for an explicit
quantity
▫
of a known
quality
▫
at an agreed-on
price
▫
for a given period of
time
•
In contrast to a one-off exchange, the term
Contracting implies an on-going
Contracting defined
Example of purchaser-provider split from the
U.K.
•
In 1991: NHS introduced “internal markets” in public
system.
–
District authorities & “GP fund-holders “ buy services for
community from public hospitals (“NHS trusts”), which
compete for contracts.
•
Results (Peacock, 1997)
– Quality: Non conclusive evidence on waiting times, cleanliness, referral system, and clinical quality.
– Efficiency. Limited impact due to:
i. Existence of oligopolies (few providers with important market power)
ii. Competition focused more on marketing than on prices or quality iii. Information asymmetries and
iv. Costs of contracting.
– Equity: Concerns about potential risk selection by GP fund-holders.

to determine values and preferences
•
Using this information to assess if the

Strategic purchasing
actions:
Purchaser - provider
•
Implies some ‘separation’ of purchasing &
provision responsibilities (even if done within
same organisation, at least some ‘separate
thought processes’/explicit ‘purchasing’
actions)
•
Active decision-making on which providers to
purchase services from (e.g. accreditation):
–
Meets core structural quality of care requirements
–
Location relative to distribution of population
Strategic purchasing
actions:
Purchaser - provider
•
Preparation of guidelines for providers
(some evidence-based decision-making
capacity):
–
EDL/formulary
–
Standard treatment guidelines (STGs):
•
Diagnostic tests
•
Drug treatment
•
Supplies for surgical procedures (e.g. type of
stent that can be used)
•
PHC gatekeeping and referral pathways
Strategic purchasing
actions:
Purchaser - provider
•
Contracting with providers
,

–
Range of services required

–

Autonomy for purchaser in day-to-day
management decision-making and operations

Specifying service entitlements for

extent to which government engages with

there is no mechanism to ensure

Can Indonesia achieve
strategic purchasing in the
context of UHC?
•
Equity in resource distribution
(Difficult if
there is no policy)
•
Efficiency in resource use
(Probably No)
•
Access to and utilisation of services on the
basis of need
(No)
•
Quality services that are effective
(No)
