PROJECT CONTEXT
The Definitions and Cost Drivers Project set the foundation and scope
parameters for a TTR costing study
• IHPA engaged a consortium led by Paxton Partners to undertake the
TTR project of activity and cost data collection across a sample of
Australian hospitals;
• 19 sites participated - 13 from Queensland, 5 from WA and 1 from SA;
• Main project output - preparation of a costed TTR data file to inform
the development of a TTR classification.
• Data collection commenced in May 2015
• Included both prospective (May to October inclusive) and
retrospective (January to April) elements in an attempt to capture
seasonal impacts on TTR activity;

Definition of teaching and training (T&T)
Teaching and training describes:
“the activities provided by or on behalf of a public health service to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge, or development of
skills. These activities must be required for an individual to:
‒ attain the necessary qualifications or recognised professional body registration to practice;
‒ acquire sufficient clinical competence upon entering the workforce; or
‒ undertake specialist/advanced practice
in medicine, dentistry, nursing, midwifery or allied health.”
Definition of research
Research describes: “the activities undertaken in a public health service where the primary objective is the advancement of
knowledge that ultimately aims to improve consumer and patient health outcomes and/or health system performance. The
activity must be undertaken in a structured and ethical way, be formally approved by a research governance or ethics body,
and have potential for application outside of the health service in which the activity is undertaken.
For activity based funding (ABF) purposes, the definition of research relates to: the public health service’s contribution to
maintain research capability, excluding the costs of research activities that are funded from a source other than the state or
territory or provided in kind.”

TTR COST TYPES Teaching and training:
• Direct : The costs incurred to support the theoretical or practical training activities to
support the transfer of knowledge that occurs independently from the delivery of
patient care (lectures / workshops conducted by the hospital).
• Embedded : describe events where TT occurs in conjunction with patient care. (ward
rounds, operating theatre, outpatient clinics, work based assessments)
• Indirect: support activities provided by health service that is essential to facilitate
teaching and training, but do not involve either a didactic or experiential
skills/knowledge transfer. (nurse education dept.).
Research capability activities the total cost to
support research endeavour across the hospital
(e.g. the cost for supporting research
grant submissions)

Stage 6
Data preparation
& reporting
Jan to Apr 2016
• Three tranches of hospital data collection using standard data request specifications to
capture costs, staffing profiles and training activities
• Driven by site coordinators at each site, appointed between Dec 2014 to final data
submissions
‒ Significant effort by Site coordinators to identify available systems, data custodians for
each of the clinical professional groups across the hospital
• Reasonable cost and staffing profile data was collected
• Embedded T&T and research functional data most challenging to collect
9 www.ihpa.gov.au
EMBEDDED TT
• Limited / patchy embedded data available from existing hospital systems
• Stakeholder consultation, survey and focus groups engaged to provide a basis for
assessing embedded TTR across professional groups.
• Consultation process provided a starting point to assess
‒ How embedded TT was undertaken during patient care activities
‒ Who was involved
‒ Estimated time spent by trainees and trainers either receiving / delivering
embedded TT or participating in direct patient care
• Results from survey and consultation provided key assumptions and parameters
that were applied back to Hospital provided data to derive the initial calculation of
the impact of embedded TT.
INITIAL
FINDINGS
KEY POINTS
1. Robust data set – starting point for a teaching and training classification
2. Data limitations – embedded teaching and training, research
3. Key data element for ongoing collection – number and type of FTE
trainee
4. Initial findings only – jurisdictions involved are still looking at the data
5. Draft Final Report is still progressing through IHPA’s committees – will
go to the Pricing Authority in July / August 2016

RESEARCH
• Data request aimed at functions and resources employed to support research
(not the research endeavour itself)
• Research data provided was variable across sites
• Most research data from principal referral metropolitan hospitals
‒ Difficult to capture data

CLASSIFICATION
DEVELOPMENT
THE AUSTRALIAN TEACHING AND

SYSTEM
• IHPA initiating a project to develop a teaching and
training classification system
• IHPA will be undertaking a public consultation in 2017
