Sustainable Healthcare ProjectTurkish Project Examples; Stakeholder Role
Rational Use of Drug Project (Ministry of Health)
Justification increase in morbidity and mortality rate, increased risk of drug side effects, inefficient use of resources leads to decrease in availability of even basic
drugs, possible development of resistance to emergency and basic drugs, increased financial and social cost of treatment,
Process As a result of an evaluation study of knowledge and attitude of doctors and
the public;is not rational drug use by 50 percent
Results The National Action Plan of Rational Use of Drug 2013-17 , The Establishment of The Prescription Information System
Sustainable Healthcare ProjectTurkish Project Examples; Earlier Diagnosis and Intervention
Gaziantep Rheumatology Early Arthritis Screening Project(Ministry of Health and Gaziantep University)
Justification Lack of relevant specialists primary care physicians relevant knowledge/skill levels need to be supported The need for a different General Practitioner’s system to direct arthritis and
rheumatoid arthritis patients to rheumatology centers in a timely manner,
Process From March 2011, preliminary diagnosis training of 581 family physicians in 3
different Province (Gaziantep, Adıyaman, Kilis) General Practitioners visit and send e-mail regularly, Decreased patients admission to tertiary health services,
Results For the first time in Turkey, the creation of an “Early Arthritis Clinic” model, resulting
in 34% correct diagnoses and referrals for 581 referred patients, Long-term goals: a decrease in the diagnosis period, and increase in correct diagnoses
Sustainable Healthcare ProjectTurkish Project Examples; Measuring Return on Investment
Public Hospitals Organization Performance Evaluation System(Ministry of Health)
Justification To facilitate monitoring and accountability of activity results, The creation of a measurement, monitoring and evaluation concept,
Process Productivity Report Model structure,
Results Measurement and comparison of resource and project success by
administrations revealed increases of; 6% and 1% respectively in the “Medical and Administrative” category with 9 indicators 52% in the “Financial” category with 9 indicators 12% in the “Quality” category with 8 indicators 6% in overall scoring wıth 45 indicators.
“Continuous Improvement-Kaizen”; the triggering of a series of projects about the strategic work load and return on investment
Sustainable Healthcare ProjectTurkish Project Examples; Clinical Practice
Istanbul University Turkcell TeleDiab Project (Istanbul Medical Faculty)
JustificationThe need for remote monitoring of parameters such as blood sugar levels, complications and accompanying diseases in diabetes patients
Process In a total of 182 experimental and control patients;
Electronic transmission of capillary blood glucose and blood pressure measurements, Synchronized video-conferences, secure messaging, Reminders of routine followup tests and examinations, provision of web-based educational
material
Results With remote monitoring, even the results for the first 6 months showed a
reduction in fasting blood glucose levels from 167.5 to 149.1; and of HbA1c levels from 8.04 to 7.48,
It was shown that guidance via remote monitoring technology could achieve significant improvement expecially in chronic diseases.
Sustainable Healthcare ProjectConclusions
In view of the unpredictable increase in health expenditures together with chronic diseases;
A process that affects all countries equally in terms of sustainability in health systems:
The person living with chronic disease and facing a change in quality of life:
will retire earlier,will work less, will face a greater risk of unemployment, may be forced to pay more out-of-pocket expensesfor healthcare, andwill earn less.
Sustainable Healthcare ProjectConclusions
Transformation in Health in Turkey: Opportunities Brought by the 21st Century, 2012* Non-communicable diseases cause more than 70% of deaths The loss of 6.5 million disability-adjusted life years (DALY) The consequent damages corresponding to nearly 8-10% of the
yearly GDP
Resulting proposed expenses:For a Medium-Term Development Program in Turkey
Projected Turkish Gross Domestic Product for 2014:867 Billion US Dollars10% = 86 Billion US Dollars
