ACTA Summit 2016 What we know about the health and economic benefit of trials and registries in Australia Dr Robert Herkes Clinical Director 24 November 2016 TRIM: D16-40837
Health and economic benefit of clinical quality registries and clinical trial networks? • The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care • Atlas of clinical variation • National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards • Self improving health system • Australian cost benefit analysis of Clinical Quality Registries (CQR) • Prioritisation of Clinical Quality Registries • Australian cost benefit analysis of Clinical Trial Networks

• Australian Government agency, jointly funded by all governments • Leads & coordinates national improvements in safety & quality of health care based on best available evidence • Aims to ensure that the health system is better informed, supported & organised to deliver safe & high quality care • Works in partnership with patients, consumers, clinicians, managers, policy makers & health care organisation • Aims to achieve a sustainable, safe & high-quality health system 4
Patient safety and quality • Australia’s health system generally performs well compared to other OECD countries • A significant proportion of Australian hospital admissions are associated with an adverse event • Reduction in the rate of adverse events and unwarranted variation – could potentially produce productivity savings, as well as direct benefits to patients • The economic benefits of improving patient safety and value are compelling • National data systems are not sufficient on their own to support improvements 1 Vital Signs (2015); 2 Health Policy Analysis (2013) 5
Commission work • National Safety & Quality Health Service Standards (NSQHS) • Pricing for safety and quality • Clinical Care Standards 6
National Safety & Quality Health Service Standards (NSQHS) • Commenced 2013 • National safety standards are designed to protect the public from harm and to reduce preventable adverse events • Focus on reducing high risk adverse clinical events • Mandated by COAG-HC • All public and private hospitals and day procedure centres Version 1 Version 2 7

How can clinical quality registries help? 11
What is a CQR? • Commission published a Framework for Clinical Quality Registries in 2010 • Clinical quality registries are organisations that systematically monitor the quality (appropriateness and effectiveness) of health care, within specific clinical domains, by routinely collecting, analysing and reporting health-related information • They provide severity of illness adjusted outcomes with peer comparisons to frontline clinicians, to allow peer comparison and improvement

CQR: Economic evaluation • Conservatively evaluated the economic impact of five clinical quality registries in Australia • Findings: • Significant net positive returns on investments and positive benefit to cost ratio • Substantial benefits, reflecting improvements to clinical practice and outcomes over time • Significant value for money, when correctly implemented and sufficiently mature 16
Selected CQRs Registry Hosted by Evidence of impact • Prostate cancer research international active surveillance (PRIAS) guideline compliance resulting in lower rates of unnecessary intervention • Positive need surgical margin reduction - better survival and avoided for Victorian Prostate Cancer Registry Monash University secondary therapy (Victorian PCR) • Earlier treatment • Reduced in-hospital mortality Victorian State Trauma Registry • Reduced average length of stay Monash University (VSTR) • Better longer term functional outcomes • ICU Standardised Mortality Rates Australia and New Zealand • Adverse events – (e.g. central line infection rates) Intensive Care Adult Patient • Rates of re-admission ANZICS Database • Length of stay in ICU (ANZICS APD) • Sepsis • Graft failure rate reduction over time Australia and New Zealand • Mortality Dialysis and Transplantation Royal Adelaide Hospital • Reduced rates of complications (e.g. peritonitis rates) Database • Changes in practices (e.g. shunt timing) (ANZDATA) Australian Orthopaedic • Reduction in arthroplasty revision rates Association National Joint • Early recall/removal from market of poorly performing prosthetic devices used in University of Adelaide joint replacement surgery Replacement Registry 17 (AOANJRR)

Likely overestimate due to assumption of starting from zero coverage in other states. In reality, there is some existing coverage with different definitions of “major trauma” (BCR - Benefit-Cost Ratio) 18
CQR: Prioritised list of clinical domains • Application of the prioritisation criteria (and other elements) in the Framework, to create a prioritised list of clinical domains for potential development of national clinical quality registries • The process combined available data with the collective judgement of experts: • Shortlisted to identify a manageable list of diseases, conditions and interventions • Identified threshold criteria – prioritisation criteria essential to the successful functioning of a clinical quality registry • Applied threshold criteria to remove diseases, conditions and interventions not suitable for development • Grouped remaining diseases, conditions and interventions into clinical domains • Prioritised clinical domains against remaining prioritisation criteria. 1 2 3 19
