Allocating resources to health authorities: development of method for small area analysis of use of inpatient services.

Every year about 22 billion pounds is allocated to health authorities for hospital and community services in England. The distribution of most of these funds is based on a formula developed to reflect the population's needs, but the existing formula has been criticised on several grounds. This paper describes the development of a method to determine the health needs for small geographical areas. Data from the hospital episodes statistics and 1991 census together with information on vital statistics and supply of health care facilities were used in the model. Two stage least squares regression was used to identify true indicators of need, and these were entered into a multilevel model to take account of variations in practice in different health authorities. The resulting formula should be more statistically robust and more sensitive to needs than previous approaches.

[Inventory of geriatric psychiatry in Sweden. In short supply where demand does not determine resource allocation].

In 1999 The Swedish Society for Old Age Psychiatry conducted an investigation in all Swedish counties in order to survey existing organizations and resources for medical services intended for elderly people with psychiatric complaints. In some counties there were no out-patient units specifically aimed at elderly people with psychiatric diseases, while more than half had no out-patient units for the large group of elderly with psychiatric ailments other than dementia. The total number of beds was far less than international recommendations. Less than 5 per cent of the total number of Swedish psychiatrists and geriatricians hold positions exclusively for geriatric psychiatry. Access to geriatric psychiatry resources appears to be unevenly distributed, and may be found mainly in or near university cities.

Equity, access and resource allocation: planning hospital services in New Zealand.

The desire to limit the growth of expenditure in the Western world has seen increased attempts to reallocate resources in the name of equity and efficiency. This paper reviews recent moves in New Zealand to achieve an equitable financing and distribution of hospital resources. While a more equal distribution of resources is likely to result from the recent reforms, redistributive policies of the type being implemented in New Zealand, which leave the basic structure of the health care system intact, may have only a marginal impact on improvements in access to care and health status.

Disaster planning and resource allocation in health services.

The increasing prevalence of natural disasters, environmental tragedies, and depraved human behavior has generated excessive costs in both human and material resources at a time when cost-efficiency and control is continually emphasized by managed care contracts, business, and government agencies. As a result, increasing pressure has been placed on hospital material managers to do more with less, while also providing the necessary resources to respond efficiently and effectively during an emergency. A successful comprehensive, risk-based emergency management program of preparedness, response, and recovery will reduce the loss of life and resources.
