Policy considerations
“Policy decisions do not wait
for excellent information to
become available; decisions
will be taken even where
‘evidence’ is fragmentary and
uncertain”
Brian W. Head (2013) Evidence-Based Policymaking – Speaking Truth
to Power? - Australian Journal of Public Administration, vol. 00, no. 0, pp.
1–7
Policy considerations
‘evidence-informed’ policy-making, on
the basis that decision-making is
typically not derived from objective
science but rather is based on
reasoned argumentation, taking
account of professional
judgements, stakeholder interests
and political contexts.
Brian W. Head (2013) Evidence-Based Policymaking – Speaking Truth
to Power? - Australian Journal of Public Administration, vol. 00, no. 0, pp.
1–7
Policy considerations
‘evidence [..] can be improved if
appropriate standards of
transparency and accountability
are followed in the process of
gathering, analysing, interpreting,
and presenting evidence for policy.
Brian W. Head (2013) Evidence-Based Policymaking – Speaking Truth
to Power? - Australian Journal of Public Administration, vol. 00, no. 0, pp.

“To give the same kind of care to
the same kind of patient, some
hospitals cost two or three times
more than others in the same
state.”
“Today, the price paid…includes
costs that can and should be
avoided.”
“Setting the right price is crucial,
but it won’t work on its own.
Hospitals need to know a lot
more about where they stand.
They need detailed information
about where their avoidable
costs are and how they compare
to their peers.”
“Activity-based funding is a good
pricing system, but cost data can
help us improve it.”
The ABM Portal gives you…
A tool to assist in evaluating the efficiency
and efficacy of health service delivery - in
order to review and improve care, leading to
better patient outcomes.
Comparisons of activity, costs and prices for
The ability to benchmark costs and LOS performance

ABM Portal Roll Out
The Portal was first rolled out to LHDs and Pillar in
December 2013, the first being South Eastern Sydney
LHD.
As of March 2014, the Portal has been rolled out to 14
LHDs, with nominated ‘Champion’ users.
The remaining LHDs and Pillars are scheduled in the next
few weeks.
Broader roll out across the health system will occur with
new enhancements .
At a State Level…
Enables a comparison of cost and
LOS across LHDs/Facility/Peer
- To assess LHDs cost
performance against the
state efficient price
- To identify signals that may
suggest unwarranted clinical
variation in cost and LOS
At a State Level…
Allows comparison of
LHDs
Prompts closer scrutiny
of LHD costs:
QUESTION:
Why did this LHD report
cost above the State
Efficient Price?
At a State Level…
QUESTION:
Why did this LHD report
cost above the State
Efficient Price?
ANSWER:
Only this Hospital is
above the average cost
per NWAU
LHD TO INVESTIGATE:
Why does this Hospital
cost more per NWAU?
At a District Level… Enables investigation into
unwarranted clinical variation at
hospitals level within an LHD
when compared to Peers Why is there such a spread in
cost and LOS?
Investigation should focus
on the cost bucket results in
the table such as prostheses
DRG - I03B Hip Replacement
without complication
Is this
partially
explained
by LOS
variation?
At a Clinical Level… Identifies models of care that
need to be addressed
At a Clinical Level…
Identifies opportunity to improve
efficacy of care

attended ED twice a week in 12
months (100 encounters)
ABM Portal
A tool that:
– facilitates transparency and openness
– encourages collaboration between clinical
services around developing and assessing
models of care
– provides the information to empower Local Health
District to manage into the future

Clinical Costing Education
Program – HETI
• Currently identifying and developing education
solutions and resources to support clinical costing.
• UNE Partnerships (UNEP) to map work roles and
functions to national standards for education
• Develop education options that are practical, usable,
flexible and incorporate a range of learning methods
such as:
• Scenarios/case studies using a sample dataset
throughout so that learners engage and develop
their skills and knowledge in context.
• Simulation / Blended learning.
