Preliminary investigation of economics issues in hospitalized patients with stroke.
International Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2013Co-Authors: Zahra Tolou-ghamari, Vahid Shaygannejad, Fariborz KhorvashAbstract:Background: The study of economics is important in Iranian stroke patients, because it is one of the costly diseases that could be linked to disability, mortality, and morbidity. The aim of this preliminary study was to investigate total treatment costs of hospitalized patients with stroke. Methods: A cross‑sectional study of 24 patients conducted to Isfahan Neurosciences Research Centre was carried out between April 1, 2012 and September 31, 2012. Demographic (sex, age) and economic variables (Raise tariffs, accumulated surplus, the total amount, of patients’, patients’ paid, and home Insurance Contribution) were extracted from the patients’ profiles. All information recorded and processed using Excel. Results: The mean age of patients was 71 years (ranged; 40‑93 years old). Preliminary analysis of available costs issues could be described as: Raise tariffs (mean: 3500256 Rial, ranged: 504460-9775455 Rial), accumulated surplus (mean: 565578 Rial, ranged: 56700‑2343664 Rial), the total amount (mean: 4045556 Rial, ranged: 715460‑12219119 Rial), of patients’ (mean: 756037 Rial, ranged: 0‑8365447 Rial), patients’ paid (mean: 1307762 Rial, ranged: 45300‑9193000 Rial), and home Insurance Contribution (mean: 3070713 Rial, ranged 0‑8887907 Rial). Conclusions: The cost disparity within this study after stroke could be mainly connected to variations in duration of hospital stay. Inspecting agenda towards this direction could reduce the economic cost of stroke significantly. Therefore, further assessment correlated to attain strategies in order to reduce costs associated to patients’ paid and home Insurance Contribution could be much more advantageous. Keywords: Economics, hospitalized patients, raise tariffs, stroke

implementing a sustainable health Insurance system in cambodia a study protocol for developing and validating an efficient household income level assessment model for equitable premium collection
International Journal for Equity in Health, 2020Co-Authors: Haruyo Nakamura, Floriano Amimo, Siyan Yi, Sovannary Tuot, Tomoya Yoshida, Makoto Tobe, Shuhei NomuraAbstract:As elsewhere in low- and middle-income countries, due to limited fiscal resources, universal health coverage (UHC) remains a challenge in Cambodia. Since 2016, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) has implemented a social health Insurance scheme with a contributory approach for formal sector workers. However, informal sector workers and dependents of formal sector workers are still not covered by this Insurance because it is difficult to set an optimal amount of Contribution for such individuals as their income levels are inestimable. The present study aims to develop and validate an efficient household income-level assessment model for Cambodia. We aim to help the country implement a financially sustainable social health Insurance system in which the insured can pay Contributions according to their ability. This study will use nationally representative data collected by the Cambodia Socio-Economic Survey (CSES), covering the period from 2009 to 2019, and involving a total of 50,016 households. We will employ elastic net regression analysis, with per capita disposable income based on purchasing power parity as the dependent variable, and individual and community-level socioeconomic and demographic characteristics as independent variables. These analyses aim to create efficient income-level assessment models for health Insurance Contribution estimation. To fully capture socioeconomic heterogeneity, sub-group analyses will be conducted to develop separate income-level assessment models for urban and rural areas, as well as for each province. This research will help Cambodia implement a sustainable social health Insurance system by collecting optimal amount of Contributions from each socioeconomic group of the society. Incorporation of this approach into existing NSSF schemes will enhance the country’s current efforts to prevent impoverishing health expenditure and to achieve UHC.
