Practical Implications

Coronavirus disease 2019 is a respiratory infection that has evolved to a pandemic with an enormous burden both on human life and health care. States throughout the world have pursued strategies to restrict the transmission of the virus in the community. Health systems have a crucial dual role as they are at the frontline of the fight against the pathogen and at the same time they must continue to offer emergency and routine health services. The provision of health care in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic finds certain barriers. The simultaneous protection of both universal health coverage and health care efficiency is a difficult task due to conflicting challenges of these two goals. Key actions need to be decided and implemented in the fields of health policy, operation of health services, and clinical interaction between health personnel and patients, so that health care continues to perform its mission in a sustainable manner. As the scientific community prepares for the widespread production and application of effective protective and therapeutic agents against COVID-19, it is vital for the general population to remain safe and for the health systems to survive. Allocation of resources and priority setting need to be applied fairly and efficiently for the achievement of the maximum benefit.

Health Care Efficiency

This paper proposes an episode of care payment system for patients with chronicillnesses, extending earlier published work on this model of ambulatory care (Duckett& Jackson 1993). The payment system relies on annual voluntary enrolment andsome marginal broadening of Medicare coverage in exchange for patients? willingnessto participate in an ambulatory managed care arrangement. In the context ofAustralian health ministers? enthusiasm for managed care, the proposal embodiesan intermediate policy approach which supports greater health care efficiency whileminimising the prospect for reductions in patient autonomy or serious distortionsin patterns of care. The policy is not designed to be applied population-wide, butto address the issues involved with a resource-intensive patient group, those requiringongoing management of chronic conditions.
