TAKE-HOME MESSAGESIncentives to staff do not work without
fundamental health systems strengthening initiatives
The purpose of this pilot in Kishapu is to modify the P4P design on an ongoing basis
The specific details of the verification process needed to be embedded in the design from the start
We under-estimated the: 1.Independence of the verifiers,2.Existence of National RBF team with enough
members, 3
WHERE ARE WE?
More needs to be done to improve newborn survival
28% decline in under five mortality
between 2005-2010
4
MATERNAL MORTALITY RATIO:A LONG WAY TO GO
Maternal mortality has declined by 21% between 2004-05 and 2009-10
Concerted efforts are required to achieve the 2015 target

RBF KISHAPU PILOT IMPLEMENTATION
9 Month pre-pilot, 4 Quarterly cycles (April- Dec 2015)
Funded by the World Bank
Selected on the basis of social and economic characteristics among the other councils in the region (Shinyanga) which was also selected based on the criteria among the other regions Goal: To inform the Scale up in the following Regions7
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: SHINYANGA REGION
Shinyanga is one of the 30 regions of TanzaniaSelected due to poor health outcome and high poverty
indexThe region is divided into 6 councils The population is projected at 1,534,808 (NBS 2012)There are a total of 212 health care facilities, of which:- 156 (74%) are public, - 19 (9%) are FBOs,- 37 (17%) are Private.Kishapu has 55 Health Facilities in total: 45 are public,

Quantity & Quality indicators are Selected and Payment is based on Achievements
Quantity Indicators are counted and have no limitation,The fees generated by quantity indicators is based on
the level of discrepancies with verified and DHIS2 Reported data,
Achievement of 100% of the quality assessment receives a full payment.
Data VerificationData Verification is done quarterly by comparing
existing data in DHIS2 and data found in the source of data of the similar indicators
The Verifier was RAS who identified the pool of verifiers in the region.
The RAS and RHMT are assessed by National level Team.10
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PILOT
SELECTED INDICATORS19 Quantity Indicators for Health Centres &
dispensaries, 18 Areas of Quality assessment of the
Dispensaries & HCs, 26 Areas of Quality assessment of the
District Hospital & Upgraded Health Centres,3 Areas of assessment for the Verifier,10 Areas of assessment of RHMT,12 Areas of assessment of CHMT,6 Indicators for MSD Zonal,4 Indicators for MSD Central.11
Routine verificationSupportive supervision from CHMT and RHMT
includes verification of HMIS data entry and records Spot check verification is also performed by the PMTSpecific Verifications to be conductedRegional Identified Team of Verifiers Composed by
members from RAS, NHIF, RHMT and Health NGOs operating in the region perform internal Verification Quarterly
Independent verifier – Controller Auditor General (separately contracted) has a mandate to assume the function of counter verification twice a year but this activity has not yet been done.

FIRST VERIFICATION (Q. APRIL-JUNE )RESULTS RESULTS
KAHAMA DH: 46.4%; RHMT: 82.4%; KISHAPU CHMT: 59.1% & RAS: 100%
READNESS ASSESSMENT DONE FOR NEXT COUNCILS IN SHINYANGA & MWANZA REGIONS –
USING BRN INITIATIVEThe assessment has been conducted by the Big Results Now (BRN) star rating team.Each facility had to undergo readiness assessment before being enrolled to the RBF system;The minimum readiness criterion is to have one star with adequate staffing (at least one skilled personnel at a dispensary level) but also the following elements are considered in the assessment tool: Communication means, Conducive infrastructures for provision of quality health care,Emergency transportation arrangement for referral, Power supply, Availability of running water; Waste management facilities.14

TIMELINE & SCALE UP PLAN

ISSUES AND CHALLENGES IDENTIFIED DURING IMPLEMENTATION
Inadequate infrastructures which made some facilities to score 0-star during readiness assessment,
Shortage of basic essential equipment and supplies needed to provide Reproductive and Child Health Services beyond health facility control,
Irregular Supportive Supervision by management teams,
Delays in paying 1st Verification Payment, Difficulties in direct incentive payment to the
Health Facilities from the fund holder19
LESSONS LEARNT Essential equipment and supplies are not
available at all times in the facilities, RBF can only work if supportive
supervision visits are regularly conducted at facilities,
Direct payment from the fund holder to the provider is very important to avoid delays and any other risks that may occur,
There is an opportunity for correcting the identified issues
20
WAY FORWARD
Ensure incentive funds planned for facility improvement is used to procure missing essential equipment and supplies,
Use lesson learnt from the pilot phase to ensure the scale up is done smoothly.

SUSTAINABILITY OF RBF AS ENVISIONED BY HEALTH CARE FINANCING STRATEGY
Reimbursement to Facilities Matching Payment to MBP Based on Core Output-
Based Payment Systems, Performance (RBF) and Star Rating (BRN)
