Project Details
Description
This APW relates to a program of work entitled “Purchasing instruments to strengthen quality health services for chronic illnesses”, which will be implemented during 2021-2023 under the joint leadership of the WHO Centre for Health Development (WKC) and Health Governance and Financing Department (HGF) of WHO Headquarters, in partnership with the OECD (see background section).
This APW focuses on the first activity which is foreseen to start in Fall 2021 and end in Spring 2022: to produce a framework capturing the main determinants, dimensions and attributes of quality chronic care management.
This framework will be key for the next activities under the program of work: indeed, it will structure (1) the appraisal of the existing body of health financing literature on “purchasing instruments and quality chronic care” and (2) primary data collection at country level [. The identification of the determinants, dimensions and attributes will be realized through two complementary and subsequent processes: a scoping review of the literature and a Delphi survey.
The main purpose of the scoping review is to ensure that the new framework that we will developed is informed by the existing body of scientific knowledge on framing, conceptualizing, measuring and acting on quality of chronic care.
The main purpose of the Delphi survey is to adapt the framework which will have emerged from the scoping review to the specific needs of our program of work. The Delphi panelists will bring different perspectives (e.g. clinicians, health financing experts) to the table and be invited to co-produce a consensual ‘recalibrated’ version of the framework applicable to our subsequent study of purchasing arrangements.
Given prevailing travel and physical distancing restrictions, the Delphi survey will not be organized in face-to-face.
A second and independent APW is being issued by WHO to source the digital solution which will be used to implement the Delphi survey. The solution provided by the digital company is expected to enhance the Delphi survey process effectiveness in different manners. It will allow the Delphi facilitators to communicate with panel experts, to enhance their participation across the two rounds of survey, to collect answers and information; to pre-analyze data or export them to other analytical software and to provide feedback to them.
The Delphi survey will be carried out under the close supervision of WHO technical staff. Among other things, WHO will bring the expertise in health financing and economic theory. The contractor under this APW is expected to bring the chronic care and service delivery expertise which will be required for both the appraisal of the literature and the facilitation and the analysis of the Delphi survey.
