4 PUBLIC HOSPITAL REPORT CARD 2015: AN AMA ANALYSIS OF AUSTRALIA S PUBLIC HOSPITAL SYSTEM INTRODUCTION The AMA Public Hospital Report Card presents data published by the Commonwealth, year on year. Its purpose is to enable an assessment of the performance of our public hospitals, and their capacity to meet the community s need for hospital services. The Commonwealth is withdrawing from its commitment to sustainable public hospital funding, and to meet an equal share of growth in public hospital costs. In its Budget, the Commonwealth announced that, from July 2017, it will strictly limit its future contribution to public hospital costs, with future funding growth restricted to the cost of indexation and population growth. This will fall well short of the funding needed to position public hospitals to meet the increasing demand for services. The changes mean that State and Territory governments will have greater responsibility for funding public hospital services. In the shorter term, the Commonwealth has reduced hospital funding to the States and Territories by $1.8 billion up to by withdrawing the funding guarantees made in the National Health Reform Agreement. In its Budget update released on 15 December 2014, the Government announced a further reduction in funding for public hospitals of $941 million over four years. The Government claimed this reduction was simply the result of the method for hospital financing put in place by the previous Government. The Government appears to be picking and choosing which elements of existing health financing arrangements it will observe, depending where the cost falls. The Government has justified its extreme health savings measures on the claim that Australia s health spending is unsustainable. But Australia s health financing arrangements are not in crisis. In , Australia had the lowest growth (1.5 per cent) in total health expenditure since the Government began reporting it in the mid-1980s. 1 Without any specific Government measures, there was negative growth (minus 2.2 per cent) in Commonwealth funding of public hospitals in , and only 1.9 per cent growth in Our health sector is doing more than its share to ensure health expenditure is sustainable. Australia s expenditure on health has been stable as a share of GDP, growing only one per cent over the last 10 years 2. Health expenditure does not demand radical changes to existing services. If it proceeds with its savings measures, the Commonwealth will lock in hospital funding and capacity at the inadequate levels demonstrated by current performance. 1 AIHW, Health Expenditure Australia , pg ix 2 ibid, pg 8 2
5 This AMA report card shows the impact on patient care of reduced growth in hospital funding and capacity. Waiting times have not improved, and only minor progress is being made towards access and treatment targets. Without sufficient funding to increase capacity, public hospitals will never meet the targets set by governments, and patients will wait longer for treatment. Commonwealth funding for public hospitals is now at a low base. The Commonwealth s current approach will maintain this low base, with provision for future funding increases to be limited to CPI and population changes only. At the same time, the Commonwealth Government has embarked on a debate on roles and responsibilities in health as part of the Reform of the Federation. At this point, what this debate will actually mean for future public hospital funding is unknown. Clearly, what it should mean is agreement by the Federation on sufficient and guaranteed funding for public hospitals to meet the needs of the Australian community. A/Prof Brian Owler President March
6 PUBLIC HOSPITAL REPORT CARD 2015: AN AMA ANALYSIS OF AUSTRALIA S PUBLIC HOSPITAL SYSTEM 1. NATIONAL PUBLIC HOSPITAL PERFORMANCE Public hospital capacity One of the best measures of hospital capacity is to compare the number of available beds with the size of the population. The population aged 65 years and older is a useful way to measure the hospital-using population, because older people have more hospital episodes than young people. Graph 1 shows that the number of public hospital beds has been slashed by more than 43 per cent since In , there were only 17.5 hospital beds for every 1000 people older than 65 years of age. Graph 1: Number of approved/available public hospital beds per 1000 population aged 65 and over Approved/available public hospital beds per 000 of pop. 65+ Australia Bed ratios cut by more than 56% since Sources: Australian Hospital Statistics, AIHW; Australian Demographic Statistics, ABS Total public hospital bed numbers reduced by 234 in Bed numbers as a ratio per 1000 of the general population reduced to 2.57 in from 2.62 in This ratio has not improved since Public hospital capacity is not keeping pace with population growth, and is not increasing to meet the growing demand for services. Without any increase in capacity, our hardworking doctors and nurses have nonetheless managed to achieve some increases in services to patients: in-patient care 5.7 million in (3.3 per cent increase from the previous year); out-patient care 18.1 million services in (7.2 per cent increase from the previous year); and emergency department 7.2 million presentations in (7.2 per cent increase from the previous year). 4
7 Emergency department waiting and treatment times Two performance indicators that measure the capacity of emergency departments to provide timely care are: 80 per cent of emergency department presentations are seen within clinically recommended triage times; and 90 per cent of patients leave the emergency department within four hours. Patients seen within clinically recommended times Under this target, from , 80 per cent of emergency department presentations will be seen within clinically recommended triage times, as recommended by the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine 3. States and Territories again failed to meet this target in Only 70 per cent of emergency department patients classified as urgent in were seen within the recommended 30 minutes.

8 PUBLIC HOSPITAL REPORT CARD 2015: AN AMA ANALYSIS OF AUSTRALIA S PUBLIC HOSPITAL SYSTEM Patients leaving within four hours Under the National Emergency Access Target (NEAT), 90 per cent of all patients presenting to a public hospital emergency department will either physically leave the emergency department for admission to hospital, be referred to another hospital for treatment, or be discharged within four hours 4. State and Territory governments have committed to progressively achieve this target by the end of 2015, with incremental targets over four years for each State and Territory. In , 73 per cent of all emergency department visits were completed in four hours or less, well short of the 90 per cent target to be achieved by the end of Graph 3: National performance against the Four Hour National Emergency Access Target Percentage of emergency department visits completed in 4 hours or less Australia Target Source: Australian Hospitals Statistics to : emergency department care (AIHW) 4 National Partnership Agreement on Improving Public Hospital Services, 2011, pg 30, clause C1 6
9 Elective surgery waiting and treatment times Elective surgery is any form of surgery considered medically necessary, but which can be delayed for at least 24 hours. Two performance indicators that measure the performance of public hospitals to provide timely care to patients requiring elective surgery are: the median waiting time for elective surgery; and the percentage of patients treated within the clinically recommended times. Median waiting time Nationally, median waiting times for all elective surgery have increased over the last 10 years. In , the national median waiting time remained at 36 days, meaning no change for four years.

10 PUBLIC HOSPITAL REPORT CARD 2015: AN AMA ANALYSIS OF AUSTRALIA S PUBLIC HOSPITAL SYSTEM National Elective Surgery Target Under the National Elective Surgery Target (NEST), 100 per cent of all urgency category patients waiting for surgery are to be treated within the clinically recommended times. 5 In , category 2 patients represented 40 per cent of elective surgery admissions nationally. On average, 79 per cent of elective surgery category 2 patients were admitted within the clinically recommended time. Graph 5 presents performance over the last 11 years. Official data for this indicator has not been published consistently over the full period, and performance for and has been extrapolated from various sources. Graph 5: Percentage of Category 2 elective surgery patients admitted within the recommended time Percentage of Category 2 elective surgery patients admitted within the recommended time (90 days) Australia 95% A long way to go to reach the NEST by % 75% *Sources: The State of Our Public Hospitals (DoHA); 2011 FOI request reference lodged June 2011; estimate based on State and Territory Government published data; State and Territory data for 2012 calendar year published by AIHW in Australian Hospital Statistics: National emergency access and elective surgery targets 2012; AIHW Australian Hospital Statistics : elective surgery waiting times. The hidden waiting list Elective surgery waiting list data hide the actual times that patients are waiting to be treated in the public hospital system. The time that patients wait - from when they are referred by their general practitioner to actually seeing a specialist for assessment - is not counted. It is only after patients have seen the specialist that they are added to the official waiting list. This means that the publicly available elective surgery waiting list data actually understate the real time people wait for surgery. Some people wait longer for assessment by a specialist than they do for surgery. This data must be publicly available on a consistent and national basis so that Australians have a full and accurate picture of waiting times for elective surgery. 5 National Partnership Agreement on Improving Public Hospital Services, 2011, pg 20 8
11 Commonwealth funding In its Budget, the Commonwealth Government made savings of $1.8 billion over four years from by abandoning the funding guarantees made under the National Health Reform Agreement 2011, and revising Commonwealth Public Hospital funding arrangements from 1 July From , the Commonwealth will index its contribution to hospitals funding by a combination of the Consumer Price Index and population growth. Graph 6 shows the rate of change (%) in Commonwealth expenditure (to ), and Commonwealth Budget funding (to ) for public hospitals. This illustrates the significant variation, year-on-year, in public hospital funding. This variation has significant consequences for the predictability and certainty of hospital resources and capacity.
