3 Summary (1/3) The first Health Outlook aims to attract, and provide insights to applied research and its performance Aims Context Attract applied research Applied Research Hospitals* should attract applied research and need to be aware of the importance of applied research to supporting, connecting and improving the innovative Life Sciences & Health cluster, and their own contribution to applied research. Showcase the applied research performance Applied Research Hospitals should showcase to the Netherlands, to their industry and international clusters that the Dutch hospitals are performing well on applied research. Providing affordable and high quality care. Health Provide insights into the applied research Applied Research Hospitals should provide insights in applied research since this proves a valuable tool for all healthcare stakeholders, as individual hospitals can use the results to compare and optimize their outcomes. Wealth * From now on, applied research hospitals will be called hospitals. University Medical Centers (UMCs) are not included in this report. This study was conducted on 16 out of 28 STZ hospitals. In this report the words applied research hospitals and (total) STZ hospitals are used interchangeably. 3

4 Summary (2/3) Dutch Life Sciences & Health Outlook 2013: by collecting and comparing data of 16 applied research hospitals, in order to build a database for the future which will show progress, be comparable with international clusters Data Key Conclusions OUTPUT No. of publications: 3057 publications cited Lead time of clinical trials: 65 days No. of new products: 21* new protocols: 144** new guidelines: 159** new treatments : 101** Size of clinical trials: Inflow of patients from outside catchment area: SIZE INPUT 7745 patients* 12 % admissions 10.4 % outpatient visits Applied research hospitals seem to vary heavily in their ability to be relevant in applied research that connects with industry and patients. Size, level of expertise, support and connection with industry and openness seem to matter. Hospitals that outperform collaborate above average with the industry. Outperformance on output: publications, innovation and efficiency. Publishing and performing applied research are clearly part of the core business of applied research hospitals. In particular clinical trials in phase 3 and medical devices. Industry investments: 630 research projects** Hospital R&D investments: 10,8 m ** *Extrapolation based on number of publication cited. ** Extrapolation based on number of employees.

9 Need for a shift in productivity SHAPING BACKGROUND DEFINING In order to make the Dutch healthcare system sustainable, a shift is needed in its productivity frontier: optimizing value per Euro spent Health Expenditure is outgrowing, resulting in a pressure to cut costs and in the same time to delivery better value to patients. Current situation Sources: Blendon et al. (2004), Christensen et al. (2009), and a The Decision Group analysis (2010) Based upon: Porter (1996). What is Strategy? Harvard Business Review, November-December 1996:

10 Enhancing applied research, innovation and development SHAPING BACKGROUND DEFINING by improving cooperation between the Life Science cluster and the Health cluster and enhancing at the same time applied research, innovation and valorization. Applied Research, Innovation and Valorization is the base of the five recognized leverages of Christensen, to increase productivity. Sources: Blendon et al. (2004), Christensen et al. (2009), and a The Decision Group analysis (2010) 10

11 BACKGROUND A focus on the cross-over: Life Sciences & Health SHAPING DEFINING On the cross-over of Life Science & Health (product supply market) the four main players each have their own point of view on the current situation of cooperation. Views on the cross-over Patients I would like to receive the best care there is. New products and treatments should be available on the market as soon as possible. However, safety and the added value should be known. Insurers Of course, we would like to stimulate cooperation, to create new ideas and innovation. Our main concern is to get people healthy as soon as possible. Care & Cure In our hospital patient care is number 1, however a focus on research and creating new treatments and products is also necessary to increase patient value. Industry We need the hospitals to run clinical trials on our new products; speed, patient size and expertise of researchers are critical success factors in our business. Since we have a commercial point of view, trust is sometimes difficult and hampers co-creation and product development. 11

12 BACKGROUND Monitoring the cross-over SHAPING DEFINING The Health Outlook measures and monitors applied research, innovation, valorization and cooperation annually to contribute to a successful and innovative Life Science & Health cluster. Attract applied research Applied Research Hospitals* should attract applied research and need to be aware of the importance of applied research to supporting, connecting and improving the innovative Life Sciences & Health cluster, and their own contribution to applied research. Showcase the applied research progress Showcasing to the Netherlands, to its industry and international clusters that the Dutch hospitals are performing well on applied research. Provide insights into the applied research Getting insights in applied research proves a valuable tool for all healthcare stakeholders, as individual hospitals can use the results to compare and optimize their outcomes. 12

13 Definition of the Dutch Health Outlook 2013 SHAPING BACKGROUND DEFINING The focus of the Dutch Life Sciences & Health Outlook 2013 is the performance of the innovative core of the cluster of both the industry and part of the teaching and specialized care and cure providers.

15 Applied Research Hospitals - Activities SHAPING BACKGROUND DEFINING The Health Outlook 2013 focuses on the value chain of the health cluster and its related activities to applied research for the top medical teaching hospitals. Applied research: Scientific publications, presentations Reporting on scientific activities (e.g. within annual reports) Complies to guidelines of Dutch Clinical Trial Foundation (DCTF) for applied scientific research measured by the Health Outlook 15

16 Methodology to measure applied research SHAPING BACKGROUND DEFINING Together with experts, we developed a methodology to establish the first Health Outlook, monitoring applied research. Literature Study - Monitoring Health International Advice on Clusters Pilot Study to Test Indicators Support of Research Experts Roll out Study & Building the Database Review & Validation We would like to thank all who made it possible. The help and insights of many (cluster) experts was essential in creating the Dutch Health Outlook For all experts involved please refer to page(s) 98 and

17 Monitoring, Improving & Sharing Best Practices SHAPING BACKGROUND DEFINING 9 Key Performance Indicators and 7 Key Steering Indicators have been developed to monitor and improve applied research and to share (next) Best Practices. Key Performance Indicators monitor the success of a cluster or set of organizations. Typically, performance indicators cannot be influenced directly by policy. OUTPUT Key performance indicators Monitoring Key steering indicators Improving Key Steering Indicators can be influenced directly by policy makers. Typically, steering indicators are selected so as to have high impact on the success of a cluster or set of organizations. Number of publications cited Lead time of clinical trials Number of best practices shared among hospitals Number of new products Costs of research projects Number of new protocols, guidelines and treatments Adoption rate of new products* SIZE Size of clinical trials (number of patients in trial) Inflow of patients from outside catchment area INPUT Best Practices Level of expertise Staff responsiveness Participation of staff in the development, undertaking and use of research Presence of research support offices and transfer facilities in each hospital Cooperation relationships of hospital research Industry investments Hospital R&D investments * At this moment adoption rate of new products is not measured. Next year we aim to find and determine the right definition and to collect data on this specific performance indicator 17

Additional internal and external validity checks performed: Hospital data from 16 individual hospitals More than 500 respondents to survey employed within the 16 STZ hospitals taking part in this year s Health Outlook Per hospital data HagaZiekenhuis St. Antonius Ziekenhuis Rijnstate Catharina Ziekenhuis M.C. Haaglanden Hospital by hospital checked database Monitoring methodology to assess performance: The methodology approach is based on the World Economic Forum approach. The nine key performance indicators are validated by 20+ hospital CEOs and management and medical staff. The methodology is used to create international standards within EU clusters. The methodology has been checked by the International Academic Advisory Council.

19 BACKGROUND Experiences during data collection SHAPING DEFINING Data collection itself results in building new infrastructures and gaining insight in the processes and procedures. New ideas develop which improve the performance and the efficiency of applied research. Experiences Bibi Blijham, Msc. Data collector at 3 hospitals Kwaliteitsmedewerker Wetenschap Data registration, in general, is insufficient in hospitals, not only at research offices but also at other supporting departments such as Human Resources, Financial management and Health administration. Obtaining comparable data is difficult because the way of registration of research projects differs between hospitals; how data is registered differs between hospitals and which research projects are registered differs as well between hospitals Hospitals have different local procedures, such as the local feasibility procedure of the Board of Directors, with a different focus which leads to different ways of registering data and thus, collecting data. The functionality of research offices is developing in a different way between hospitals. Sharing best practices (such as a uniform way of data collection of research projects) is desirable but there is also a need for standardization. 19

20 Data on the Life Sciences & Health Cluster 2013 DATA & KEY CONCLUSIONS Health cluster¹ Life Sciences cluster² OUTPUT No. of publications: 3057 publications cited Lead time of clinical trials: 65 days No. of new products: 21 * new protocols: 144 ** new guidelines: 159 ** new treatments : 101 ** OUTPUT Revenue: 17.8 b (+0.6%) Number of products: 122 (+10%) SIZE Size of clinical trials: 7745 patients * Inflow of patients from outside catchment area: 12% admissions 10.4% outpatient visits SIZE Number of companies: 343 (+4.3%) Employment: jobs (-6.7%) INPUT Industry investments: 630 research projects ** Hospital R&D investments: 10,8 m ** INPUT Public investments: 291 m (-2%) Private investments raised: 1887 m (+574%) *Extrapolation based on number of publication cited ** Extrapolation based on number of employees ¹ For more info please see ² For more info please see 20

21 DATA & KEY CONCLUSIONS Key conclusions 1 Hospitals seem to vary heavily in their ability to be relevant in applied research which connects with industry and patients. Ability depends on size, level of expertise, support and connection with industry and openness. 2 Hospitals that outperform, collaborate more than average with industry. Outperformance on output: publications, innovation and efficiency. 3 Publishing and performing applied research is clearly part of the core business of hospitals. In particular clinical trials in phase 3 and medical devices. 21

22 DATA & KEY CONCLUSIONS Hospital seems to vary heavily in their ability to be relevant in applied research 1 Variation in size, input and output is observed among the hospitals, showing differences in performance and cooperation with industry. 40 No. of Industry Invested Projects Examples of Key Performance Indicators, with high variation. No of research projects Position of individual hospitals Mean normalized citation score No. of publications cited Hospitals See chapter 3 for detailed information about KPI Industry Investments & Number of publications. Source: STZ & NFU (Red bars are Academic Medical Centers) STZ individual hospitals 22

23 DATA & KEY CONCLUSIONS Multiple affecting factors 1 Factors such as size, level of expertise (number of professors, PhDs, GCP-certified), research support capacity, connection with industry and openness to share best practices, seem to matter. Example of 2 factors that influence variation Total employment Individual hospitals Variation is a logic result of various factors. Some of these factors, such as size, are not easy to influence. However, openness to industry and other hospitals are more receptive and can be steered. Researcher Employees No. of Professors Individual hospitals Professors As for the number of professors I dare to say that this is partly the result of an active policy that we follow in cooperation with academic institutions. Unlike many other hospitals, we focus not only on cooperation with UMC's but also with other academic institutions and disciplines. Employee hospital See chapter 3 for detailed information about KPI Size of clinical trials & Level of expertise. 23

24 Performance of hospitals DATA & KEY CONCLUSIONS 2 The best performing hospitals measured by output: the number of publications, products, protocols, guidelines and treatments (innovation) and lead time of clinical trials (efficiency) Lead time of clinical trials Individual Hospitals No of days See chapter 3 for detailed information about KPI Lead time of clinical trials 24

25 Relationship performance & cooperation with industry DATA & KEY CONCLUSIONS 2 collaborate more than average with industry based on industry invested research projects and staff responsiveness to external partners (e.g. MKB* & Pharma). The graph shows an increasing trend: hospitals with many industry invested research projects have a higher number of publications. The graph shows a decreasing trend: hospitals with many industry invested research projects have shorter lead times for approval of clinical trials. *MKB stands for Midden en Klein bedrijven (Small and Medium-sized companies) 25

26 Applied research is core business DATA & KEY CONCLUSIONS 3 Publishing and performing applied research is clearly part of the core business of hospitals. A total of 7445 patients are enrolled in clinical trials, with a total of 3057 citations Patients enrolled in clinical trials 10% 46% 44% PH2 PH3 M.D Hospitals reported that for the year 2011, 90% of patients participating in clinical trials have been enrolled in Phase 3 (44%) and in Medical Devices trials (46%). See chapter 3 for detailed information about KPI Number of Publications and Size of Clinical Trials. 26

27 (Next ) Best Practices - Expertise & Internal structures BEST PRACTICES 1 Via various internal structures, such as research support offices and research committees the support can be organized. A good database and information infrastructure facilitates decision making. Research Support Offices (roles and tasks) Training and educating personnel Negotiations with partners (industry METC & subsidy applications Data collection / project management Statistics Business development Support researches How to deal with rules and regulations How to set up a research line in their own department. 27

28 (Next ) Best Practices - Relationships with Industry BEST PRACTICES 2 Create a flywheel for applied research by investing in the relationships with industry. Participate in multidisciplinary studies and industry related events to share and have access to knowledge. Industry as a flywheel for research Invest in attracting industry which in turn will fund large projects. It is like a circle, money earned can be reinvested in applied research which is attracting more industry investments which in turn will fund large projects, etc. A large number of specialists and their departments have developed a beautiful structure, in which they have become and remained a loyal partner of the industry, resulting in many clinical trials and investments. Because of these trials, a large part of their own initiated studies can be funded. 28

29 (Next ) Best Practices - Culture & Commitment BEST PRACTICES 3 An ambitious culture and commitment is one of the internal keys of success. Research and innovation ideas should be supported, shared and encouraged to create an optimal research environment. Rebke Klokke, Utrecht Everything starts with an ambition and a specialist s guts and a norm that will be created. Some departments have developed a mentality with an imbued realization that if you want to ensure specialized care (topreferente zorg) this cannot be realized without the input of scientific research. Next to patient care, the hospitals have committed themselves to perform applied scientific research and stimulate health care innovation. 29

30 (Next ) Best Practices - Cooperate (Networks & Clusters) BEST PRACTICES 4 Hospitals are more successful when they operate in a cluster with a strong local dynamic. Share best practices, treatments, guidelines with partner hospitals to create leverage and enhancement of innovation. The outperforming departments also have a specialist who is connected as a professor at a university. As a result, research lines are created with a continuous flow of PhD students and publications. We cooperate in many networks with universities, IKZ (integral cancer south), and industry research which also made research possible Hospital structure and strategy Red: STZ Hospitals Blue: University Hospitals: Green: Other universities Yellow: Others Source: STZ, Bibliometric analysis of STZ-hospitals 30

31 Health Outlook 2014: Learn, Share and Inspire The Health Outlook aims to further improving. Learn from it, share it, get inspired and join the Life Sciences Outlook 2014 and Health Outlook To be determined 11 th Feb 2014 Innovation for Health Event include more hospitals include University Medical Centers address the international clusters improve KPIs and KSIs 31

33 Monitoring & Improving The Radar The performance of the health cluster can be steered and improved by focusing on three themes: business knowledge, cluster building and investment climate, each with their key steering indicators. Monitoring Dutch health cluster; Cluster success Measuring performance and progress Dutch health cluster; Key patient value concepts Strategic assessment of progress based on Key Performance Indicators Improving Dutch health cluster; Key recommendations Improving success of the health cluster and present its international potential. based on Key Steering Indicators 33

34 Extrapolation The Health Outlook 2013 aims to report the applied research of all hospitals. So far the data has been built using the reports of 16 out of 28 hospitals. In some cases data is extrapolated across all hospitals. This is based on extrapolation having as proxy, either the number of employees or number of publications cited. Example: there are 13 hospitals reporting the number of research projects with industry. The sum of all reported projects is 301 and the number of employment for those reporting hospitals is Total employment with STZ hospitals is By applying the Three Rule: hospitals. equals 628 research projects for the STZ The number of employees and or the number of publications cited was/were taken as a proxy because the researchers found a correlation* between the implied key performance indicators which had been extrapolated and the number of Health Outlook employees. Extrapolation based on number of publications cited - No. new products - Size of clinical trials Extrapolation based on number of employees - No. new protocols - No. new guidelines - No. new treatments - Industry investments - Hospital R&D investments * 61,3% and 43,41%. For detailed information about calculations and statistical tests please check ch. 4 on Monitoring Methodology Not extrapolated -No. of publication -Lead time of clinical trials -Inflow of patients from outside catchment area 34

35 Short management summaries Every key performance indicator will have a short management summary: explanation on the rationale (definitions), the results (measuring) and best practices (improving). DEFINITION IMPROVING 35

36 Interpreting the graphs For each indicator several scores are presented. Hospitals can compare their own results in their individual hospital-specific Outlook. The average, median, minimum and maximum value reported by hospitals is depicted, as well as the number of hospitals reporting (n). A separate graph indicates the total numbers for the Health Outlook hospitals and a total (extrapolated number) for all STZ hospitals. 630 N = 15 *The Health Outlook is checked for validity by the International Academic Advisory Council. For more info please refer to page 72. Totals are obtained by extrapolation. In this edition; totals are based on all applied research hospitals minus the University Medical Centers. KPI Information On every slide the specific KPI or KSI is explained. 36

37 3 Monitoring Key performance indicators (Definition Measuring Improving) TWU Rebke Klokke, Utrecht 37

38 DEFINITION IMPROVING Key performance indicators - output Number of Publications Lead time of clinical trials No. of new protocols, treatments and guidelines Number of products EXTRA: short story on adoption rate of new treatments OUTPUT Rebke Klokke, Utrecht 38

39 KPI - Number of publications cited DEFINITION IMPROVING A higher number of publications cited indicates that a hospital or member of a hospital is more visible on the international research stage. The Bibliometric analysis of STZ is used in the Health Outlook KPI Number of publications cited Number of publications cited from the hospital in one year. Number of publications cited Definition This indicator counts how many times a member hospital has been cited world wide, excluding local citations. Proxy Bibliometric analysis of STZ publications Rationale An higher number of citation indicates that an applied research hospital / or member of an applied research hospital is more visible on the international research stage. 39

40 KPI - Number of publications cited DEFINITION IMPROVING On average the number of citations of a hospital is 127 times a year. Compared to 2010, the total number of citations increased by 9.14% (from 2801 to 3057) in No of publications cited Total no of publications cited No of quotations No of citations Total STZ hospitals (n=28) Health Outlook hospitals (n=16) N=16 0 Minimum Average Median Maximum Source : The Decision Group and STZ database. KPI Number of publications Number of publications cited from the hospital in one year. The Bibliometric analysis of STZ has been used. See for a detailed explanation Ch 4 Appendices - F. Monitoring Methodology Extended version. 40

41 KPI - Number of publications cited DEFINITION IMPROVING The high scoring hospitals perform more research projects with industry, indicating the importance of cooperation. Steering The number of specialist that are first/main applicant at LTC* (KSI5) and the number of participation to researchevents initiated by MKB (KSI 4) may be associated** with the number of publications cited. (Next) Best Practices 1. Harmonize, discuss and share knowledge on events, to create leverage and enhance innovation. Some departments have developed a mentality with an imbued realization that if you want to ensure specialized care (topreferente zorg) this cannot be realized without the input of scientific research. These departments also have a specialist who is connected as a professor at a university. As a result, research lines are created with a continuous flow of PhD students and publications. 2. Initiate, cooperate and participate in multidisciplinary studies to have access to knowledge. 3. Invest in a relationship with the industry: The best scoring hospitals have more industry invested research projects, showing a positive effect of industry on output (i.e. publications). *LTC stands for Lokale Toetsingcommissie which reads in English Local Ethics Committee ** The correlation coefficient with KSI 5 is 79,23% and with KSI 4 MKB is 39,48%.

42 KPI - Lead time of clinical trials DEFINITION IMPROVING To get an insight in efficiency, waiting time is measured: number of days from proposal received to local feasibility. KPI Lead time of clinical trials (Phase II and III for drugs and for medical devices) Number of days from Proposal Received (regardless of completeness of proposal) to local feasibility (signature board of directors) Proposal received to Local feasibility Definition The date on which the request for approval of each clinical trial has been registered. Definition The starting date of a clinical trial, which is considered to be the date that the board signs the proposal. Proxy A sample of 10 studies within each hospital has been used to determine the lead time of clinical trials. Rationale To get an insight into the waiting time for approving of a clinical trial request by the board and until the first patient is enrolled 42

43 KPI - Lead time of clinical trials DEFINITION IMPROVING A large variance in number of days from submission to approval is reported. The best performing hospital had a lead time of 16 days. Lead time No of days N= Minimum Average Median Maximum - Source: The Decision Group database - The figures are based on an average among reporting hospitals. See for a detailed explanation Ch 4 Appendices - F. Monitoring Methodology Extended version. KPI Lead time of clinical trials (Phase II and III for drugs and for medical devices) Number of days from Proposal Received (regardless of completeness of proposal) to local feasibility (signature board of directors) 43

44 KPI - Lead time of clinical trials DEFINITION IMPROVING In addition, performing more industry invested research projects has a positive relation on performance, in case of efficiency: lead time of clinical trials. Steering The level of expertise (no of professors) (KSI 3) is linked* with the lead time of clinical trials. (Next) Best Practices 4. Stimulate an active policy and support the research committee and LTC (Local Ethics Committee) that enforces guidelines and business plans to optimize research. 5. Cooperate with industry and other partners, as universities and connect with their experts and professors. Optimization of processes as lead time of clinical trials, and in this case approval of proposals should be a logical result of cooperation with partners, especially in case these partners are profit-driven organizations like big pharma. Prof. dr. Fred van Eenennaam cluster expert. * The correlation coefficient with KSI3 Professors is 12,91%. See for a detailed explanation on correlations Ch. 4 Appendices on page 82 and 83. As for the number of professors I dare to say that this is partly the result of an active policy that we follow in cooperation with academic institutions. Unlike many other hospitals, we focus not only on cooperation with UMC's but also with other academic institutions and disciplines. Employee hospital 44

45 KPI - No. of new protocols, treatments and guidelines DEFINITION IMPROVING New protocols, treatments and guidelines are the result of applied research and innovation. KPI Number of new protocols / treatments and guidelines Number of new protocols and treatments New protocols and treatments Definition The plan for a course of medical treatment or for a scientific experiment.

KPI Number of new protocols / treatments and guidelines Number of new protocols and treatments (adopted at a national level, e.g., in guidelines) for which the hospital is the main applicant. 46

47 KPI - No. of new protocols, treatments and guidelines DEFINITION IMPROVING Infrastructure to support research as well as participation in multicenter research studies increases the number of new protocols and treatments. Steering The cost of research (KSI 2), the number of specialist with application at LTC (KSI 5) and participation to multicenter studies (KSI 7) shows a relationship* with the number of new protocols, treatments and guidelines. (Next) Best Practices 6. An education-driven organization will stimulate the preparation of protocols. 7. Involve specialists in quality management, and create commitment and (double) learning loops. Learning, training and research are a crucial part of our hospital. All our specialists are a member of the quality committee. This committee has a strong focus on education. The enthusiasm of this committee will lead to a culture whereby creating protocols of new ways of working is stimulated. 8. Obligate the recording (protocoleren) of research. Done by one of the best performing hospitals. 9. Register new protocols, treatments and guidelines adopted in a common, centrally database. At this moment hospitals do not have a clear view. * The correlation coefficient with KSI 2 Cost of research is 38,56%. See for a detailed explanation on correlations Ch4.

50 KPI - Number of products DEFINITION IMPROVING The number of new products might increase by enlarging high skilled labor force and incentivize staff to be more open and cooperative with other hospitals. Steering (Next) Best Practices The number of PhDs (KSI 3), participation to industry initiated events (KSI 4) and multicenter investigator initiated researches (KSI 7) are linked* with the number of products. 10.Share best practices internally to increase knowledge: exchange of ideas may help the development of new products. The STZ hospital which outperformed KPIs Number of Products explained: Our culture is probably the key for success. Collaboration and innovation are stimulated and encouraged. At this moment we are rolling out an internal policy which is based upon sharing best practices. Hopefully, this policy will strengthen our position. * The correlation coefficient with KSI 3 (PhD) is 11,14%, KSI 4 (industry initiated) 15,48% and with KSI 7 (multicenter investigator initiated studies) is 19,36%..

51 EXTRA: KPI - Adoption Rate of New Products DEFINITION IMPROVING At this moment adoption rate of new products is not measured. Next year the aim is to find and determine the right definition and to collect data on this specific performance indicator. Marc Rinkes, Manager Wetenschap & Kennis Adoption rate of product innovation At this moment, the said indicator does not provide a significant outcome in this first Health Outlook. The indicator aims at finding the introduction rate and penetration grade primarily of new medicines. The present data search did not turn out enough hits to support broader analysis. We expect that it will be a mere question of time before the indicator will be supported by more adequate data registry. It is probably more significant that present innovation in hospitals focuses mainly on therapy and treatment rather than on product and technology innovation. Pieter Kievit, Head of medical education and research support In an era dominated by an aging population and rising costs of healthcare, one would expect the scope on healthcare innovation to be on medical, technical, process and social innovation. Membership of STZ presupposes a certain size of the institution and number of patients they treat. Under these conditions it seems attractive to realize and sustain local innovations resulting in lower costs of treatment and higher (social) return on investments in terms of clinical outcome, patient satisfaction and quality of life. Admittedly, this will have to be picked up by a whole new set of partners like MKB and HBO organizations in a new variety of business case. The hospitals that started in this way are confronted by both new and time-honored challenges, the difficult acceptation of foreign (not invented here) concepts being one of them. However, opening up for innovative concepts that will increase the quality of care in feasible business cases will automatically invite other innovators and their innovative concepts to present themselves. Healthcare innovation appears to be in its infancy. Possibly, the current KPI 6 score s most important signal is: Demanding attention. Marc Rinkes & Pieter Kievit 51

Steering Size of clinical trials and the presence of research support offices (KSI 6) are associated*. (Next) Best Practices 11.Stimulate and build research support structures: Outperforming hospitals on size of clinical trials, have more FTEs available to support research than other hospitals. These hospitals have built more structures to manage the large number of patients in trials. 12.Create visibility to industry partners, cluster location seems to matter. A hospital suggested that large phase 3 and medical devices studies are assigned more often to hospitals located in one of the Dutch Life Sciences sub clusters. LS sub cluster * The correlation coefficient with KSI 6 is 49.46%. See for a detailed explanation on correlations Ch4. Appendices page 82 and

56 KPI - Inflow of patients outside catchment area DEFINITION IMPROVING If there is a high ratio of patients outside catchment area (inpatient and as well outpatient) then the hospital is attractive. KPI Inflow of patients from outside catchment area Number of unique patients outside hospital catchment area that got care delivered when inpatient (admissions) and outpatient visits (vert.: opnames en 1ste polikliniek bezoeken). Outside catchment area Definition The outer part of a specific geographic area for which a particular institution is responsible. Proxy The patients reported at the hospital living outside the geographic areas than the institution. Rationale If there is a high ratio of patients outside catchment area then more attractive for the patients is that specific institution. Inpatient and outpatient Definition Inpatient : a patient who is admitted to a hospital or clinic for treatment that requires at least one overnight stay. Outpatient: a patient who is admitted to a hospital or clinic for treatment that does not require an overnight stay. Proxy An overnight stay. Rationale To get a good insight in the complexity of pocedure that a patient may undergo. 56

57 KPI - Inflow of patients outside catchment area DEFINITION IMPROVING In 2011, the Health Outlook hospitals reported that on average 14.5 % of total admissions and 10,3% of outpatient visits were from patients located outside the catchment area. % of patients outside catchment area N=11 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% First admissions 29,8% 12,0% 11,4% 4,5% Minimum Average Median Maximum Source: The Decision Group database - % of visits outside catchment area N=11 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% First outpatient visits 26,2% 10,4% 9,7% 3,9% Minimum Average Median Maximum The first position with the maximum number of first admissions and first outpatients visits outside catchment area is hold by the same hospital.

74 Background on Monitoring methodology CHOICES DEFINITIONS The Monitoring methodology of the Outlook consists of: 1) choices, 2) definitions, and 3) measurement of the key performance and steering indicators The Decision Group MONITORING METHODOLOGY 1) CHOICES Choice of the key performance and steering indicators The key performance and steering indicators are selected to best reflect the success of the Dutch health cluster: 2) DEFINITIONS Definitions of the key performance and steering indicators The key performance and steering indicators are defined to best reflect the success of the Dutch health cluster: 3) Data collection for the key performance and steering indicators The data collection methodology is set up to provide accurate measurements: 74

75 What were the design considerations? CHOICES DEFINITIONS The main goal of the design was to find a set of indicators that would help to improve the cluster success. All choices made to select the key performance and steering indicators are based on the added value for the cluster. Scope The scope of the Dutch Health Outlook is the Dutch Health cluster. Aim The performance indicators monitor the success of a cluster or set of organizations. Typically, performance indicators cannot be influenced directly by policy. Steering indicators can be influenced directly by policy makers. Steering indicators are selected so as to have high impact on the success of a cluster or set of organizations. Focus The combined set of performance and steering indicators gives insight in the success of the hospitals in the Dutch Health cluster. Use To ensure that the performance indicators are practical for policy makers, a small controllable set of performance indicators is selected which can be influenced and steered upon. Health Cluster - High social interests in new healthcare products (performance indicator Number of products ). - Increased need for personalized medicine and cost reduction. Validation The approach has been validated through a pilot program and the International Academic Advisory Council that meets on a regular basis. 75

The measuring methodology used for each KPI is to be found in the extended version of the Health Outlook. 3. The results of each KSI is provided in a different section called Health Outlook extended. 80

81 Geachte heer, mevrouw, Ons ziekenhuis doet namens de STZ topklinische ziekenhuizen mee aan het ontwikkelen van een Life Sciences & Health Outlook, in samenwerking met The Decision Group Met behulp van de Outlook willen we meten en monitoren hoe we als STZ ziekenhuis presteren op het gebied van onderzoek en innovatie. Graag maken we van uw expertise en knowhow gebruik om een aantal van de indicatoren die we met de STZ leden hebben opgesteld invulling te geven. Momenteel voeren we een pilot uit. Hieruit kan ook blijken dat vragen minder goed aansluiten bij de informatie die we zoeken. Als u suggesties heeft horen we dat graag. Het invullen van de vragen kost naar schatting ongeveer 10 minuten van uw tijd en levert zeer waardevolle input voor de Outlook. We stellen het op prijs als u de ingevulde vragenlijst voor 1 februari zou kunnen toesturen aan Niels van Gorp: n.vangorp@thedecisiongroup.nl Bij voorbaat hartelijk dank voor uw bijdrage. We houden u graag op de hoogte van de ontwikkelingen rond de Life Sciences & Health Outlook. Wilt u hier uw naam invullen? Wat is uw functie? Voor welk ziekenhuis werkt u?

82 Information about correlations (1/2) CHOICES DEFINITIONS To compute the correlation between KPIs and KSIs the statistical software package STATA version 11 was used. The first column ksi3_emp indicates employment and on each row the performance indicator can be found. The intersection between the employment line and a specific key performance indicator gives the correlation coefficient. For a series of a few KPIs i.e. KPI5, KPI8 and KPI9 the relationship between the above mentioned indicators and KPI7 Number of publications has been considered more appropriate to be used when extrapolating. ksi3_~mp kpi1_1~j kpi3_1~2 kpi3_1~3 kpi3_1~d kpi4_1~p kpi4_1~1 ~3_part1 ~d_part1 kpi7 kpi9pr~s kp kpi7 ~d_part1 kpi8 kpi9pr~s ksi3_11_emp kpi1_11_proj kpi kpi3_11_ph kpi5_11_md~ kpi3_11_ph kpi3_11_md kpi kpi4_11_outp kpi9protoc~s kpi4_11_ou~ kpi9guidel~s kpi5~3_part kpi9treatm~s kpi5_11_md~ kpi kpi9protoc~s kpi9treatm~s Source: The Decision Group database STATA print out. 82

84 Data validation (1/2) CHOICES DEFINITIONS Several steps have been taken to check the consistency of data Pilot study Before the set up of the Health Outlook 2013 a pilot study was launched. In this way the results could be calibrated and definitions and indicators were adjusted. Communication Along the elaboration of the Health Outlook, there was a permanent and constructive communication between the researchers of The Decision Group and hospital members / employees that participated in this study. The individuals in charge of data-collection have discussed and harmonized data-collection procedures and agreeing on sources for data. Public sources A web search has been performed to check the consistency of data reported for indicator employment. The figures that were available publically corresponded with the ones reported. Cooperation among data collectors In some cases the data collators were the same individuals for multiple hospitals, e.g. the same individuals gathered data from Medisch Centrum Alkmaar, Rijnstate, St. Elisabeth Ziekenhuis and Medisch Centrum Leeuwarden. Hence, a consistency in data collection has been assured. Outlier Check In a few cases, where researchers considered that the reported data may be an outlier, discussions were carried out with the reporting hospital to assure that no reporting mistake had occurred. 84

85 Data validation (2/2) CHOICES DEFINITIONS.. and its reliability through using STZ database and a survey.
