Strategie Planning in Lesedi District, South Africa quite high. The male condom distribution rate was 12-14% of the eligible population in the sub- districts reporting it. HIV prevalence among 15-24 year-old pregnant women was 30%. Close to 15% of teenage girls under age 18 had given birth. Only a quarter of pregnant women had an antenatal visit before 20 weeks. Maternal mortality rates were close to 150 per 100,000 deliveries, well above the farget rate of 37 Within Lesedi District-which had four sub-districts-were nine district hospitals, staffed by generalist physicians and nurses. One regional hospital, providing specialist and surgical care and two tertiary hospital centers offering advanced specialist and surgical care, were all located in the only urban area of the district. Primary care within the district was provided by 113 clinics staffed with nurses and community health workers, and 1o community health centers open 24/7, as well as close to 6o health posts and mobile units staffed by nurses and/or commusity health workers. th poor basic infrastructure meant that many Distriet primary care clinics were without electricity, continuous piped water supply, and proper sanitation or telecommunications systems. Road infrastructure was poor; in some areas, health providers walked for 2-5 hours to reach members of communities that were not accessible by vehicle. Some "24-hour" clinics were not open at night because of uninhabitable facilities and poor security. Maternity patients often bypassed the clinics and referred themselves to the regional hospital for deliveries. Such self-referral overloaded the regional and tertiary hospitals with primary health care cases. Health service utilization rates were low, averaging 27 visits per person per year compared to a target rate of 3.5. Hospital bed utilization rates averaged 54%, despite a usable bed/1000 population rate of only 1.06. ts were unfilled. It was particularly hard to recruit physicians; in most of the sub-districts, no physicians staffed the clinics, and less than a third of community health center physician positions were filled. Pharmacists and pharmacy assistants were also hard to find-few clinics had them at all, and only about one-third of the pharmacy assistant positions posted community health centers were filled in the See Exhibit 1 for more information on the health system in South Africa. The Strategic Planning Process Ms. Julia Kekana, the Lesedi District Officer for Health Planning and Reporting, added to Mr. Nkosi's description of the strategie planning process (see Exhibit a): In April of 2011, the National Department of Health sends out their planning priorities for the 2012-13 fiscal year (FY). Fiscal years begin in April, so FY 2011-12 has just begun when the planning process for 2012-13 starts. Soon after, the Provincial Health 2 Strategie Planning in Lesedi District, South Africa PHS-001 vehicles, etc., nor are they able to eolleet the parental consent forms for every student in . each school. The senior financial manager of the sub-district chimed in on the relationship between the planning process and the budgets received: Each hospital facility develops and submits its own budget, but funding is allocated to hospitals based on whatever they got before. The submitted Hospital managers are all clinicians and don't really want to spend time understanding the budget, so they delegate to low-level staff the responsibility of developing and monitoring the budget performance Mr. Nkosi summarized the challenges Everything we ask for must be in our operational plans, which then must be captured in the strategie plan. But planning is driven by the budget, not vice versa. We get our The Performance Monitoring Process Data Collection Process at the District and Sub-district Level Lesedi District's Information Officer, Ms. Ayanda Maseko, described her role: I coordinate the health information coming in from the various sub-districts. We have a National Indicator Dataset which defines which indicators are to be collected where, and then the province adds its own set. We get data from primary health care clinics, hospitals, imaging, environmental health, the electronic TB registry, ARV (anti- retroviral) program management, ete. For instance, we collect 210 primary health care metrics and 110 hospital metrics. as there are not enough computers, and the electronic data cannot be consolidated across facilities without a ton of work. The sub-districts combine the data coming from various facilities to evaluate it, and try to put any missing information into the reports before they come to me for analysis. Program managers such as the HIV program manager and TB manager also use the data. Everything gets presented to the District management team, and I help to highlight areas that might need fixing. We then share the data at all levels of the organization. The local ram managers have to report to their sub-district managers in person on what they ve done/plan to do, etc. The Lesedi District Program Coordinator commented on the quality of the data used in the District's Performance Reports: The sub-distriets and their facilities can't possibly be doing all of what their l thhe exciusive use ord.Chang, 2017. Strategic Planning in Lesedi District, South Africa PH5-001 reports say they are doing. The original source at clinic will say a number is 4; but in the report, that number is 10. The people producing some of the raw data d hey may not understand what a "midnight census" is-a 8 s such as a "half-day patient. And there is no way to figure out what is wrong we don't have the resources to audit everything so the data is wrong every day. It often undercounts the patient load which then throws the cost estimates off. For instance, a patient sitting in an outpatient clinic all day needs food but isn't counted. Quarterly Performance Reports and Reviews Each sub-district manager reported their data to the District Manager, who, after reviewing it with the sub-district managers, produced a District-wide Department for the Provincial Health i District was required to pril, July, October, and January These reports were generally delivered in person by District Managers to the Provincial office, and their performance was reviewed with provincial leadership. The Province then combined the various District reports and submitted them to the National DOH, generally within a week after receiving the Districts' reports. Mr. Nkosi described the challenge of generating the quarterly reports and undertaking the reviews with his sub-district managers: The quarterly performance meetings with my sub-district and facility managers are not always up to the standards we wish they were. They are often used by the sub-distriet and facility managers as an opportunity to ask for more resources to offset their poor management skills. uns ate When you look below districts a programs to institutions and facilities, there is little clarity regarding what people are supposed to do. For instance, if reducing outpatient employee head count is an objective, you would expect that the hospital CEO would translate that down into the nursing executive's job description, but the linkages are not fully working. And the nursing service manager may not understand how this will impact quality of service for patients. Waiting time reduction is a goal-and there is an expectation that the facility manager will figure out ways to do that, such as having a triage person or a booking system for chronic patients. It is this level of translation, however, that does not always happen. Front-line managers, most of whom are clinicians, need training; people are in these positions in administration for reasons other than administrative skills At the provincial level, other frustrations with the planning and budgeting process emerged. As the Provincial Head of Department (HOD), explained, Department of Health lacks strategie focus We are so busy following the planning e deadlines-and we don't miss the deadlines-that we have to overwork ou this adversely affects productivity, quality of planning and service and long-term budgeting. Finally, we need to synchronize all the different reports livery. Also our trad we need short-, medium-, For the exclusive use of J. Chang, 2017. Strategic Planning in Lesedi District, South Africa PH5-001 We need to train the District Managers and the Provincial executive team to stop pushing paper. The Provincial focus is too operational. We miss the Big Picture. We should let facility managers be operational. We should expect the District Managers in areas with high HIV to ask, "What is it that we are doing wrong and what can we do about it?" And then the budget should move toward HIV, but that is not reflected in the traditional budgeting process. Looking Ahead As District Manager, Mr. Nkosi was hopeful that the future would bring increased resources and better health to his local population. It was imperative that the planning and budgeting process support a healthier future in the district. He was wondering what additional skills he needed to learn to better work the system. He also was thinking about whether the system itself might be improved, and if so, how. For the exclusive use of J. Chang, 2017. PHS-001 Strategic Planning in Lesedi District, South Africa Primary healthcare is concentrated in urban areas, so much of the rural population is without adequate access to elinics and the referral system. Much of the country's poor population, even in more urban areas, relies on traditional healers.
