Hi again,

Here is one more thing to forward to IT department.

It is link to DRG grouping manuals
http://www.nordcase.org/eng/materials/manuals/

They are from year 2003 and doesn’t express the latest grouping rules.

However, they can be used to understand the grouping logic and see what kind of ICD10 and
NCSP codes are having impact on the grouping.

Thanks,

Kristiina

Subject: Re: UHC missions in February 2018

Dear Mariana,

Thank you for all this! Few suggestions and responses from our side.

First, regarding the
strategy building workshop – we discussed with Andres and our suggestion is to have a smaller group of participants (max 12 people) for that one and half day seminar.  This makes a group more effective to work with and there will be plenty of opportunities
to engage other people in later stages. Thus, at this stage we suggest to involve these key people who are involved on every day basis to the strategic purchasing (know current situation) and should develop forward looking strategy. We hope that this is acceptable
for you.

We also offered an opportunity to have a short briefing about the current findings
to the broader audience and this gives others (who are not participating seminar) possibility to be involved.

Second, regarding DRG mission preparations.

1)
Transition strategy – unfortunately there is
no country examples to share (it was too long time ago and context would have been anyway different) but we prepared together with you the DRG implementation plan and roadmap which gives basis to start to work with transition plan (4 phases described in subsection
2.1; attached to the email), In principle transition plan is just an extension of implementation plan. Most important is that you find it useful for yourself and it supports coordination of multiple workstreams during DRG implementation.

Also, you may want to think about transition plan together with communication plan as this enables to clarify the DRG implantation objectives (what will be the key
messages and how communication will support the whole transition period).

2)
DRG-related performance monitoring system –
this part is quite well covered in the analytical report in chapter D (attached to the email). There you can find the list of potential indicators (during our last mission Kristiina showed it based on SSA’s claims data). Your task is to have a critical look
on that and to think through which of these indicators you find useful and how (how detailed; in which frequency; by using which channel) you would like to share it with providers and public. Here is important to involve those responsible for IT. Also, this
is closely related to the communication plan as is one method to inform and engage.

3)
Communication plan for DRG implementation -
we prepared short guidance (see attached file) which hopefully helps to start preparations. You don’t have to follow this format exactly and you can adapt it to fit for your needs. It would be good if this is developed jointly by communication specialists
and those responsible for DRG implementation.

Let us know if you have any additional questions and if we can provide more support
at this stage.

I add Kristiina and Andres to the CC and they add from their side I missed something.

With best,

Triin

Subject: RE: UHC missions in February 2018

Dear All.

Hope you are well, As promised, after the consultations with the Deputy Minister Sopromadze, I’m sending you the information that you have requested:

We can confirm the dates for both missions as it is, we will send you the draft agenda of both missions, tomorrow by the end of the day, as soon as the date will be agreed with all participants.

Mission on organizational capacity and strategy for strategic purchasing, 19-23 February, 2018

Regarding the meeting with head of Parliamentary Health Committee Mr. Zoidze, After the consultations with the Minister and Deputy Minister Sopromadze, we think that as it is a working process, and we are
drafting the documents, there is no need for conducting the meeting at this stage, meeting could be arranged after we will have the last version of the summarized draft document.

As for the “Developing strategy for strategic purchasing and building SSA Organizational Capacity” workshop, we can confirm the dates, we are waiting for your decision regarding the venue of the workshop,
I have attached the list of participants of the workshop in the email.

There will be need for the simultaneous interpretation on some of the meetings and consecutive interpretation on the seminar as well. We will indicate the need of interpretation in the draft agenda tomorrow.

As promised by Sopiko Belkania, the outcomes of the “home work” will be submitted to you on the February 14th,
2018.

Mission on organizational capacity and governance, 26-28 February 2018

To be properly prepared for your visit, we will need your help regarding the documents on transition strategy, DRG-related performance monitoring system
and communication plan for DRG implementation. Would you be so kind to send us the samples (examples) of the mentioned documents of other countries maybe Estonian or Finish so that we could use them for our practice.

Kind regards,

Subject: UHC missions in February 2018

Dear Mariana,

As you know, we plan two missions on UHC in the second half of February 2018.

WHO CO GEO will secure travel of consultants to/from Georgia, their hotel and transportation within Tbilisi.

You can see in Scope and Purpose that some participants/meetings have been indicated already in particular for the mission on DRG (26-28 Feb).

We still need your confirmation.

Bigger input from your side is needed regarding the mission on SSA (19-23 Feb 2018). Of course we expect Dr Zaza Sopromadze to have the leading position (additionally to the overall
leadership of the minister). We need to know however who are other staff constituting the core group for advancing the process. The participants of the workshop also need to do “home work” prior to the mission (please, see the respective scope and Purpose).

WHO CO GEO will secure the venue for the workshop scheduled during the mission of Andres. We believe that this shall be in Tbilisi, to avoid travel and decrease the costs. At the same
time we think the seminar shall take place outside the ministry, so the participants are not disturbed by their daily work. Please, let us know, if you agree or if you have any idea, where to organize it.

We also need the list of participants to be decided by the MoLHSA. This we need to know as soon as possible to be able to book the respective meeting room. In line with that we need
to know also at which activities Georgian-English interpretation is needed, and in particular for the workshop we need to know, if simultaneous or consecutive interpretation is needed, as this is linked with costs as well as administrative procedures within
our office.

The same as before all experts will be available for on-line consultancy also after the missions.

If needed you can contact Triin (in cc) on any technical issue before the mission.

Please, liaise with Rusiko (also in cc) for any organizational details. Giorgi is on sick leave and I will depart for another duty travel at the end of the week and will be absent for
app 10 days in total, incl. weekends).

Best regards,

Marijan Ivanusa
