The Department of Health recurrent-targeted funding for GU medicine clinics: what happened to the funding?

The Department of Health provided two recurrent targeted funding of 5 million pounds sterlings and 3 million pounds sterlings for genitourinary (GU) medicine services in 2003 in response to the increasing waiting times for appointments. The British Association for Sexual Health and HIV conducted a survey to find out if the clinics continued to receive their full allocation, if not, the reasons for it, and the workload change from 2002 to 2004. Out of a total of 91 responders, 78 were from acute trusts and 13 from primary care trusts (PCTs). Of the acute trusts and PCTs, respectively, 67.9% and 76.9% received the full allocation; overall 30.8% did not receive their full allocation. In all, 86% of clinics had increases in their workload and of the 26 clinics with shortfall of funds, 24 (92.3%) still managed to increase the workload. This survey showed that the funding and other measures have increased the workload capacity, and also highlights the continuing problem of many clinics in not receiving their full allocation. Such clinics should be targeted for early review by Medical Foundation for AIDS and Sexual Health with involvement of the Special Health Authorities and PCTs in the current national review of GU services.

Minimum funding requirements and minimum funding excise taxes--Internal Revenue Service. Notice of proposed rulemaking.

This document contains proposed regulations relating to the minimum funding requirements for employee pension benefit plans, and to excise taxes for failure to meet the minimum funding standards. Changes to the applicable tax law were made by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The regulations would provide the public with guidance needed to comply with that Act and would affect all pension plans subject to the provisions of the Act. The proposed amendments would apply generally for plan years beginning after 1975, but earlier (or later) in the case of some plans as provided for meeting the minimum funding requirements under the Act. The proposed rules pertaining to the frequency of actuarial valuations, and to the time for making contributions, generally would not be effective prior to the publication of final regulations.

National Institute of Handicapped Research; proposed funding priorities for fiscal year 1983--Education Department. Notice of proposed funding priorities for fiscal year 1983.

The Secretary of Education proposed funding priorities for research activities to be supported by the National Institute of Handicapped Research (NIHR) in Fiscal Year 1983. NIHR is required under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, to develop a long-range research plan which identifies rehabilitation research that needs to be conducted and to determine funding priorities which will facilitate the support of these activities within available resources. These proposed priorities are derived from the NIHR Long-Range Plan and are articulated within the goals, objectives, and research activities specified in the Plan. NIHR final regulations (46 FR 45300, September 10, 1981) authorize the Secretary to establish research priorities by reserving funds to support particular research activities (see 34 CFR 351.32). Authority for the research program of NIHR is contained in section 204 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by Pub. L. 95-602. Under this program, awards are issued to public and private agencies and organizations, including institutions of higher education. NIHR is permitted to make awards for periods up to 60 months.

Funding issues for Victorian hospitals: the risk-adjusted vision beyond casemix funding.

This paper discusses casemix funding issues in Victoria impacting on teaching hospitals. For casemix payments to be acceptable, the average price and cost weights must be set at an appropriate standard. The average price is based on a normative, policy basis rather than benchmarking. The 'averaging principle' inherent in cost weights has resulted in some AN-DRG weights being too low for teaching hospitals that are key State-wide providers of high complexity services such as neurosurgery and trauma. Casemix data have been analysed using international risk adjustment methodologies to successfully negotiate with the Victorian State Government for specified grants for several high complexity AN-DRGs. A risk-adjusted capitation funding model has also been developed for cystic fibrosis patients treated by The Alfred, called an Australian Health Maintenance Organisation (AHMO). This will facilitate the development of similar models by both the Victorian and Federal governments.

Differences in patient and clinic characteristics at CARE Act funded versus non-CARE Act funded HIV clinics.

The Ryan White CARE Act supports comprehensive care to persons with HIV infection. With an annual budget of over $1 billion, it is the largest federally funded programme for HIV care in the USA. We analysed data from the HIV Costs and Services Utilization Study, a nationally representative sample of HIV patients. Patient data were collected in 1996-97 and clinic data were collected in 1998-99. We examined whether CARE Act funded clinics differed from other HIV clinics in (1) the characteristics of their patients, and (2) their organization, staffing, and services. We found that patients at CARE Act clinics were younger, less educated, poorer, and more likely to be female, non-white, unemployed, uninsured, and have heterosexual contact as an HIV risk factor, compared to patients at other HIV clinics. CARE Act clinics tended to specialize in HIV care, had more infectious disease specialists, had fewer total patients, and provided more support services (e.g. mental health, nutrition, case management, child care). These results are consistent with findings of other studies that were limited by non-probability samples or restricted geographical areas.

[Evaluation of the results of the research funded by the Health Research Fund in 1988].

BACKGROUND: To analyse the scientific product of research projects funded by Fondo de Investigación Sanitaria in 1988 emphasizing its relation to money granted. METHODS: 270 out of 610 projects were evaluated in relation to the amount granted. The number of papers published to each project and the impact factor assigned to the journals where these papers were published; we also assessed the mean cost of papers and impact factor units. These projects were coded following UNESCO classifications, and papers as per ISI standards. RESULTS: A total of 95 projects out of the 270 analysed produced no papers; the other 175 projects yielded 471 articles (2.7 per project); the mean cost of each article was 1.1 million pesetas, or 0.8 million if only the productive projects were considered. These papers reached a total of 818,709 impact factor units; the mean cost of the impact factor unit is 660,796 pesetas, or 459,626 pesetas if only productive projects are considered. CONCLUSIONS: Non productive projects were those that received less funding. 33% of projects produced papers published in journals with an assigned impact factor equal or inferior to one. There are evident differences among areas of knowledge in terms of impact factor. This study must be completed with a statistical analysis of reported data.

The funding of dental services among U.S. children 2 to 17 years old: recent trends in expenditures and sources of funding.

BACKGROUND: This article is the first of two that focus on recent changes in the funding of dental services in the United States. METHODS: This study is based on analyses of data regarding dental expenditures among children 2 to 17 years of age from the 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey and the 1996 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Both of these surveys were designed to produce national estimates of annual medical expenditures in the United States. RESULTS: Overall, real per capita dental expenditures among 2- to 17-year-old children who had had a dental visit fell from $578.05 in 1987 to $498.57 in 1996. Large increases per patient were reported for the poorest children, while decreases were reported for children from families with higher incomes. CONCLUSIONS: Much of the increase from 1987 to 1996 in dental expenditures among economically disadvantaged children who had had a dental visit was due to an increase in care provided by dentists that was not reimbursed. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: More needs to be done to increase the number of economically disadvantaged children who visit a dentist. All segments of society must cooperate to achieve this result.

The funding of dental services among U.S. adults aged 18 years and older: recent trends in expenditures and sources of funding.

BACKGROUND: This article is the second in a series of two that focus on recent changes in the funding of dental services in the United States. METHODS: This study is based on the analyses of data regarding dental expenditures among adults aged 18 years and older from the 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey and the 1996 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Both of these surveys were designed to produce national estimates of annual medical expenditures in the United States. RESULTS: Overall, real per-patient dental expenditures among adults aged 18 years and older who had had a dental visit fell from $529.93 in 1987 to $467.29 in 1996. CONCLUSIONS: Recent decreases in dental expenditures may be related to a shift from restorative to diagnostic and preventive services. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: In the future, dentists' gross revenues may grow more from an increase in the number of patients seen than from an increase in the average revenue per patient.
