Vårdval Stockholm: Objectives and measures
Improved access Choices and multiple provider structure Competion (”neutrality btw public and private
GPs”)
Payment:– Ca 40% capitation based on age (no socio-economic indicators) – Remaining payment: per visit per type of visit, extra payment for
home-visits, interpreter, and some geographical areas.– Patient fees are kept by providers, but reduced from payment from
the county council, the ”high-cost protection” is paid by the county council
– Ceiling for reimbursement, reduced after 1,9 visits per listed (average), after 4 visits/listed – only patient fee.
– Some medical services is included in the reimbursement

Impressions of patient choice in Sweden - results
The patients value freedom of choice – those who made active choices were more satisfied
Patient satisfaction seems to have increased (with increased freedom of choice)
The patients choice of provider were based on short distance and reputation – not medical results
Cost controlled during implementation of patient choice in PC
No signs of cost-shifting But all of the population have increased the use of care in a larger extent than
individuals with great need of care Co-operation between PC and other care (incl social services) more difficult due
to versatility of providers Patient choice contracts more flexible than procurement
Potential for improvement– knowledge of structure for decisisons– information to citizens of patient choice and informed decisions – follow-up (reporting of statistics, implementing validated goals for quality )– stimulate co-operation between providers across administrative boarders

Reimbursement models for patient choice (vårdval) in primary care (Source: Anell & SALAR)
Capitation - Fixed reimbursement per listed individual. Age wheight.
Adjusted Clinical Groups (ACG). Adjustment for diagnose classification – Case-mix
Care Need Index (CNI) socioeconomic wheight, describes the expected risk of illness.
Reimbursement per visit – GP, nurse etc.
Goal related reimbursement – Variable reimbursement based on
result.
Geography – Adjustment for localization of medical centre.
Coverage – Adjustment according to listed persons visits in PC in
relation to total number of out-patient visits.
Responsibility for cost for visiting other providers, drugs, medical
service etc.
![Page 22: Evaluation of Patient Choice Systems in Stockholm County](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/5486cc96b4af9fe8108b490f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Patient choice and reimbursement models in primary care (Source: Anell & SALAR)
Principles of reimbursement: (fixed/variable, visit/procedure-related
and goal-related reimbursement)
Fixed reimbursement varies from 40 to 80% of total– 13 counties adjust for age, 8 for ACG (5 kombinerar)– 16 counties adjust for difference in socioeconomy (CNI etc.)– 14 counties adjust for localization of medical centre– 15 counties adjust for coverage (definitions varies!)
Stockholm CC and Uppsala CC – highest share of reimbursement per visit
All counties except one use goal-related reimbursement (2-5%)

Value-based reimbursement – rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Research questions
Which outcome measures concerning patients and cost
can be used to operationalize value?
What in the healthcare is experienced as value by the
patient with RA?
How are incentives for continuous innovation created in
the care to increase value for the patient?
Can a value-based reimbursement act as incentive to
increase the value for patients with RA?

Challenges
Reimbursement models based on the value for the individual patient
– More variables concerning the patient’s situation incl patient safety & health outcome
– Adaptation to law concerning secrecy and integrity
– Coherent pathways – episode-based models
– Bundled payment
Quality deficiency – never-events – cost containment
Use and development of existing registers – nat. quality registers, etc.
Comparability via common validated, standardized data
– Providers, patients, public
Informatics, standardized solutions for compatibility
Support for implementing guidelines and evidence-based care
Open mind, cooperation between counties & central – regional – local levels
Innovations – try out & secure evidence
– Stimulate research - implementation
