Health Facilities Enhancement Program (HFEP)Health Facilities Enhancement Program is one of the banner programs of the Aquino Administration for the upgrading of facilities through investments in infrastructure and medical equipment.

HFEP aims to:

(1) upgrade priority BHSs and RHUs to provide BEmONC services for the reduction of maternal mortality;

(2) upgrade government hospitals and health facilities in provinces to make them more responsive to the health needs of the catchment population;

(3) upgrade lower level facilities to be able to accommodate nursing students and to establish gate-keeping functions to avoid congestion in higher level hospitals, and;

(4) expand the services of existing tertiary hospitals to provide higher tertiary care and as teaching, training hospitals.

Literature Review

9

HFEP Process for:Identification and Planning Lacks technical rigor No link between allocation and province’s poverty

incidence/needs based on PIPH Serious design limitationsBudget Allocation and Control Delayed and abandoned projects due to poor

internal control Underestimation of time and resource constraintsProject Execution and Completion 2009-2010: 200-300 days before funds are released Delays in completion due to micromanagement

Effectiveness and Cost-effectiveness Certain investments were able to correct existing

spatial maldistribution of facilities But there were also facilities that were built too close

to each other/lacked geographic planning No other literature were located on cost effectiveness

Functionality and Availability of Services and Commodities BEmONC RHUs had improved service abilities after

HFEP investments Serious stockouts in FP commodities and

occasional stockouts for TB drugs and kits (2013-2014)

Utilization of Services in Hospitals Evidences of increased utilization of outpatient and

inpatient services in DOH hospitals which received HFEP

Sustainability of Financing Downward trend of LGU financing to hospitals at the

time when HFEP allocations are increasing

Before, During and After HFEPThere are three challenges of making a “before and after” HFEP comparison of health facilities.

I. The staggered and prolonged construction and rehabilitation period requires health service data running as far back as ten years. For instance, the Sarrat RHU (Ilocos Norte) and Cuenca District Hospital (Batangas) has taken as long as 7-9 years, and they are still not finished. Typically, an RHU takes 2-5 years to finish its HFEP project; an infirmary or hospital typically takes 3-7 years.

II. There is no clear demarcation of “before” and “after”; health service utilization continues “during” the construction and rehabilitation project, often under adverse conditions of crowding, noise, dust and pollution, and patients’ discomfort.

III. While most HFEP investments occurred on the same site, a handful of projects were done on a different site (Mabitac RHU, Aborlan Hospital in Palawan, Capiz OPD Center). For these transferred sites, services before and after HFEP may no longer be comparable.

Summary

Page 44: Evaluation of Health Facilities Enhancement Program€¦ · Evaluation of Health Facilities Enhancement Program Oscar Picazo ... MOOE budget for hiring, monitoring and evaluation,

Overall ImpressionsDespite the generally high utilization of services in health facilities, the following must be noted:

I. There has been little, if any, increase in the number of RHUs, although there has been a significant increase in barangay health stations, many of which are being turned into birthing centers.

II. For the most part, HFEP is just replacing old hospital capacity. There has been no completely new hospitals; the new constructions are merely replacing old existing hospitals, with no major expansion in bed capacity.

III. New services are being established with the new, improved health facilities. These include CEmONCs, animal bite centers, modern diagnostic and imaging centers, sewage treatment plants, and new morgues.

IV. The service expansion is most pronounced in RHUs which now have separate rooms or facilities for birthing/delivery, TB DOTS, dentistry, etc.

V. The impact of capital investments is often diluted by staff shortage and dramatic contractualization of health workers, as well as persistent drug shortage.

Analytical challenges Confounding factors from the demand side – higher health service

utilization can be attributed partially to social health insurance reforms of PhilHealth under the KP initiative: Increasing number of enrolled Filipinos Stricter enforcement of No Balance Billing (NBB) policy Migration and urbanization which increase the catchment population around the

hospital

Page 46: Evaluation of Health Facilities Enhancement Program€¦ · Evaluation of Health Facilities Enhancement Program Oscar Picazo ... MOOE budget for hiring, monitoring and evaluation,

Analytical challengesConfounding factors from the supply side – despite the improved

supply side arising from HFEP, lower health service utilization can be observed due to the following: Positive impact of family planning program – led to a decline in births in birthing

centers (e.g. Ivisan RHU, Capiz) Increasing number of birthing centers in outlying barangays – lowered the

utilization of birthing centers in RHU/poblacion (e.g. Kibungan RHU in Benguet, Tayabas CHO in Quezon) Increasing incidence of teenage pregnancy – need to be referred to a higher

level facility (CEmONC) and reduces utilization of BHS/RHU birthing centers(BEmONCs, e.g. San Miguel RHU in Catanduanes) Increasing role of private sector in more affluent urban areas Change in licensing standard in 2013 which lowered the status of primary

hospitals into infirmaries and secondary hospitals into primary hospitals

Analytical challenges Essential difference between IE of individuals/households and

institutions:

47

Individuals/Households Institutions (RHUs, Hospitals) Same biology of individual No change in individual knowledge, attitudes, and

practices (KAP), except the KAP being measured Small changes in households (addition or subtraction

of members) Same residence Changes in socioeconomic status caused by the

intervention

Governance changes (elections) Organizational changes (e.g., Palawan provincial

government “centralization” of hospitals under PEO and away from PHO; intensive M&E in Batangas)

Management changes (retirements, recruitments) Staff changes (national staff deployment programs,

contractualization of staff, training of staff) Technology changes Regulatory changes (change in DOH licensing,

accreditation) Financing changes (IRA, PHIC reimbursements,

donors) Changes in health facility site

Conclusion HFEP Shortcomings Problems with construction and

equipping Poor coordination and infrequent

monitoring

Lack of service delivery network plan for expansion and upgrading (including human resources)

Building “incrementalism” mentality Financial sustainability

Recommendations:Funding, contracting, and contract managementOrganize facilities to be supported by HFEP into sets, lots, or tranches

that can be offered to would-be contractors under “contracting in lots”approach, preferably on a turn-key basis

Replace the current practice of incremental, multi-year infrastructure funding with “finish one-at-a-time but quickly” approach

Page 52: Evaluation of Health Facilities Enhancement Program€¦ · Evaluation of Health Facilities Enhancement Program Oscar Picazo ... MOOE budget for hiring, monitoring and evaluation,

Recommendations: Monitoring and commissioning Hold an initial project meeting with all stakeholders (including DOH,

LGU, PHIC, health facility itself) on the rationale, specifications, schedule, equipping and other deliverables

Require signage indicating the amount and schedule of completion Formulate a Manual of Operations for the entire commissioning

process Address all issues on the “Punch List” before final payment of the

contractor

Page 53: Evaluation of Health Facilities Enhancement Program€¦ · Evaluation of Health Facilities Enhancement Program Oscar Picazo ... MOOE budget for hiring, monitoring and evaluation,

Recommendations: Ensuring sustainability Explore how the DBM requirement limiting the proportion of IRA that

can be spent on PE (personal emoluments) can be waived Seek NG support for an augmentation budget for human resources

in lieu of the current direct provision of them through various staff augmentation programs

Declare blanket accreditation of all LGU health facilities that have been licensed by DOH for specific public health services (TB DOTS, neonatal screening, birth delivery/MCP, animal bite, etc.)

Implement fee retention, or at least establish a Trust Fund for health in each LGU so that these revenues can be ring-fenced
