Prototype Health Financing Projection Tool Based on National Health Accounts: The EgyptPro Model. Special Initiatives Report No. 25, Volume 1

摘要

One of the objectives of the National Health Accounts (NHA) Special Initiative under the Partnerships for Health Reform (PHR) Project was to develop and test innovative approaches to using NHA-generated data for health system policy analysis. One major contribution to this objective was the development of a prototype NHA-based health system financing projection model based on available data from Egypt - the EgyptPro Model. This model was developed through linking previous work done by the Australian Health Insurance Commission on a Health Sector Finance Reform Model with PHR's development of NHA methods and data sources. The breadth of the work described in this report is contained in three volumes: Volume I provides the technical information needed by users to understand the construction of the EgyptPro Model and the use of the EgyptPro software. Volume II presents the conceptual framework and key model relationships that were used as a basis for the EgypPro Model. The paper was written to provide interested readers with a technical exposition of how such a model could be developed. Volume III describes the development and software of the Generic Health Financing Model.
