INTRODUCTION TO QUARTERLY QUALITY ASSESSMENT

1. Contractual approach

1. Definition

The contractual approach is a performance-based financial strategy aimed at enhancing the quantity and quality of preventive and curative public health care, in compliance with set standards, through “health care purchasing” guaranteed by a contract between the funding party (buyer) and the service provider (seller).

2. Purpose

To improve the health care provided to the population at health care facilities.

3. Basic principles

The funds derived from the remuneration of health care services are used to strengthen the capacities of health facilities – their operation, staff training, performance-based rewards, and the financing of all other strategies aimed at improving the quality and quantity of health care.

2. Health Center Assessment

1. Assessment tools

1. Monthly statement

The monthly statement of activities to be subsidized at health centers is a quantitative assessment of 14 indicators chosen from among the PMA (basic packet of health services) indicators. This quantity is validated against specific criteria and based on a review of documentation (data collected from charts and registers).

2. Quarterly health center quality assessment grid

The quarterly health center quality assessment grid is a tool that makes it possible to rate technical quality on the basis of direct observation and a document review of 13 PMA activities including HIV. The evaluation is done on a quarterly basis, with a monthly statement, and the quality score is established at the end of the quarter being assessed.

The quality score obtained from the quarterly assessment grid is applied to the validated quantitative results in the monthly statements.

2. Evaluator profile

To ensure that the data and results of the monthly statements and quarterly quality assessments are reliable, an evaluator profile and criteria have been established. The steering committee’s validation of the data in the monthly statements and the quarterly quality grid must take into account compliance with these indicators and profiles.

1. Instructions and profile for selecting the evaluator of the monthly statement

▪ The steering committee, chaired by the Director of the Family Health Unit, is responsible for selecting evaluators (as established in the steering committee’s terms of reference.

▪ Evaluators may be selected from among the members of the steering committee, of the unit responsible for health, promoting the family, and protecting the rights of the child, or from among members of the hospital staff.

▪ Evaluators must be selected in accordance with the following profile and be approved by the steering committee:

➢ Minimum level: A1 or A2;

➢ At least one year’s experience in the health field;

➢ Training or mentoring in the use of the monthly statement.

2. Instructions and profile for selecting the evaluator of the quarterly quality assessment grid

▪ The Director of the hospital is responsible for selecting evaluators from among hospital supervisors. The steering committee approves the evaluators.

▪ The team must be permanent and clearly identified.

▪ Evaluators must meet the following profile:

➢ Minimum level: A1 or A2 in the health field

➢ At least 2 years’ experience in the health field

➢ Versatile (capable of assessing a number of PMA activities)

➢ Training or mentoring in the supervision and use of the quarterly quality grid.

3. Quarterly quality assessment (grid)

1. Organization of the quarterly quality assessment

1. Assessment Schedule

The assessment is conducted on a quarterly basis, with monthly vouchers. Each of the 13 activities is assessed once a quarter.

2. Assessment Roll-out

• Assessments are unannounced, without any prior notification of the health center team..

• The evaluator’s visit is planned on the day when the assessment is to take place..

• The evaluator works with the person responsible for the activity (for the case observation segment) or with the head of the service, or a replacement (for the document segment).

• Following the assessment, the data are approved with the names and signatures of the head of service (or a replacement), the relevant official (or a replacement), and the evaluator.

• Following the assessment, the team of evaluators takes the time to discuss with the official and the available staff members the positive points of the assessment and the areas to be improved. After this discussion, the evaluation team, together with the official and the staff members present, shall make recommendations, including those requiring technical supervision.

• A copy of the assessment results is given to the health center and to the hospital for analysis, compilation, and classification;

• After all 13 activities have been assessed, the whole team of evaluators prepares a summary of the quarterly assessment of the health center and presents it to the person responsible for monitoring and evaluation in the health center..

• The original copy of the complete assessment of the health center is submitted to the focal point of the steering committee (responsible for district health and hygiene).

2. Documentation

The health center is responsible for making available and accessible all current regulatory documents from the Ministry of Health, such as norms, standards, flow charts, protocols, and directives. This documentation is to be available at all times to the staff of the health center and to the evaluation team during its visits.

3. Use of the quarterly quality assessment grid

The quarterly assessment, with monthly vouchers, has five parts:

General information

▪ Identification of the health center

▪ Information on assessments

▪ Information on quarterly activities

o Quarterly summary of quality assessment of health center activities

This page of the assessment is presented in the form of a table with 7 columns.

▪ 1st column: Activity number

▪ 2nd column: Activities to be assessed

▪ 3rd column: Points possible (total number of points for each activity assessed)

▪ 4th column: Points awarded to each activity (total points obtained for each activity)

▪ 5th column: Gap (= points available less points awarded)

▪ 6th column: Percentage (points awarded/points available x 100)

▪ 7th column: Remarks (explanations of the gap)

o Quarterly summary of observations and recommendations concerning health center services

This page contains four lines:

▪ 1st line: Recommendations from the previous quarter that have not been implemented and explanation

▪ 2nd line: Strong and weak points identified during the current quarterly evaluation

▪ 3rd line: Recommendations concerning weak points

▪ 4th line: Recommended technical supervision

For the assessment to be valid, this summary page must be signed by the person responsible for monitoring and evaluation in the district hospital or a replacement.

o Checklist for assessment of activities

The checklist for assessing activities is presented in the form of a table with six columns.

▪ 1st column: Activity number

▪ 2nd column: Checklist Items

The items on the checklist make it possible to assess the quality of execution of the activity. These items are evaluated by analyzing documents and by direct observation.

▪ 3rd column: Scoring instructions

The scoring instructions explain how to evaluate and score each item.

▪ 4th column: Maximum possible score

▪ 5th column: Score obtained

The score obtained is the result of the evaluation of the checklist item on the basis of the scoring instructions.

▪ 6th column: Scoring justification

The scoring justification explains the reasons for the difference between the maximum possible score and the score obtained.

o Summary of observations and recommendations concerning the activity

A summary page containing four lines follows the assessment of each activity .

▪ 1st line: Recommendations from preceding quarter that were not implemented and an explanation

▪ 2nd line: Strong and weak points identified during the assessment of this activity

▪ 3rd line: Recommendations concerning weak points

▪ 4th line: Recommended technical supervision

For this quarterly assessment to be validated, all summary pages must be signed by the evaluator, the person (or replacement) responsible for the activity, and the relevant official (or replacement).

4. Sampling indicators

The choice of cases to be studied is made using a probability-based methodology.

1. Document analysis

o Number of cases to be selected

The number of charts to be selected, or the sample, is established at 10 cases out of the total number. For activities where there are fewer than 10 cases, the evaluator will examine all cases.

o Choice of cases

The random sampling method is used to select the number of cases to be analyzed. Systematic random sampling consists of calculating the sample interval (k) by dividing the total number of cases (N) by the number of cases to be selected (10) and rounding to the nearest whole number.

To determine the first chart to be selected from the register, the evaluator randomly selects a number between 1 and (k), which then becomes the first file. The evaluator then adds (k) to select the following file, and so on.

Where a case number is missing, the evaluator will replace it by the following case.

For example:

➢ Health center with 50 family planning (FP) consultations found in the records.

➢ Number of cases to be selected from the records = 10 cases, to which the quality control standards will be applied.

➢ Sample interval (k) = 50/10 = 5.

➢ The evaluator randomly selects a number between 1 and 5 (e.g., 5). The proposed number represents the first file.

➢ After file 5, every fifth file is selected until 10 files have been selected (e.g. the second file is 10, the third is 15, etc.).

2. Direct observation

The number of cases to be observed for each activity is indicated in the grid. If the number of cases required is not found at the time of the assessment visit, the activity will have to be studied during the next visit to assess the remaining cases needed to complete the sample of 10.

5. Allocation of points

The total number of points (500) for the 13 activities to be assessed was allocated by using a ranking procedure based on national prioritization criteria and known problems in the field that might be resolved by performance-based financing (PBF). The elements of each activity were scored by taking into account their relative comparative importance. .
