Overview of traditional payment methods in health care systems

DRG
- Tarifsystem für stationäre akutsomatische Spitalleistungen,
- Vergütung der stationären Spitalleistungen nach Fallpauschalen
- Schweizweite seit 01. Januar 2012 in Kraft.
Advantage
- Transparency
Disadvantage
- If the patient is a long time in the hospital = no profit for hosp
- They transfer pat
- Behandlung Pat. aufwendiger, als pauschale Vergütung deckt ->macht Spital Verlust.
- Cases: Sometimes the increase in the severity = more money
- Pat have often more than one diagnosis
- what is new what is old?
- What can they charge?
Tarmed
Bloody discharge
Pat can not be charged anymore - thats why hospital transfer pat often
Bundled payment
What is that?
Hospital treats the basic = charge but after transfer pat
To change that - Bundle
Example: Pay a fix prise for LDH
- Hospital, surgery, rehab = have to split the costs
- Then is up to the different providers who get how much money
(Like DRG -case but a whole episode of care, there is more than one provider).
