Response to Question 1
Identification of Funding Models Defined by Egar et al (2003) and Analysis of Funding
Model used in Australia Hospitals and Describing their Usage
As discussed by Egar et al (2003), there are mainly four models of funding which are
used in different countries such as Quality or Safety Pricing, Quality Structure Pricing
Model, Normative Pricing, Payment for Performance Related Model. From the above, the
most appropriate model which is used in the Australian hospitals is safetyas well asquality
related pricing or the Payment related to Performance. The respective model includes
provisions of financial kind of services or the disincentives which are motivational in nature
for the specific responses or performances. In addition, the respective kind of payments are
channelled to District health services and clinicians for improving quality of the services that
has been revised in the later stage.
The Health institutions in Queensland includes day care operations which are
motivational, that helps in plummeting the wait days. The motivational type of services is
being paid to different civic hospitals at $50 to hundredfor each patient who have been
detected with cancer. Moreover, as commented by Vitry, Thai and Roughead (2015), through
the usage of Clinical Improvement related Programs, there has been increase in ABF through
Quality Improvement related Payments. The other kind of safety related initiative that
waspresented in the year 2011-2012 was creation of the Safety along with Quality
Investments with $8 million per annum. Under the same, the other initiative which was being
analyzed in the respective scenario was program related to improvement in funds of clinical
that was being introduced which was created the funds wherein project allocation grants have
been done (Sahin, Stewart& Porter, 2015).
