Public Health Finance
Advancing as a field of study because of the Sense of Urgency to understand the composition, utilization, and impacts of the
finances that fund all components of the public health system
Jones & Honoré, 2005
![Page 3: Peggy A. Honoré, DHA, MHA Chief Science Officer Mississippi Department of Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149e8550346895db710b1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Justifications “Efforts at systematic nationwide studies of financing for public health have failed because of their exclusive
focus on the budgets of state and local public health agencies rather than the funding of the public health system”
“Almost no data are available on how much would be needed to adequately build and sustain the necessary public health infrastructure”
“…Lack of systems of accountability to ensure quality and availability of public health services”

Defining Public Health Finance
![Page 7: Peggy A. Honoré, DHA, MHA Chief Science Officer Mississippi Department of Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149e8550346895db710b1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Public Health Finance is a field of science and practice that deals with the acquisition, management, and use of financial resources to advance the health of populations through
prevention and health promotion
Moulton, Halverson, Honoré, Berkowitz, JPHMP2004
![Page 8: Peggy A. Honoré, DHA, MHA Chief Science Officer Mississippi Department of Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149e8550346895db710b1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Questions/Debate persist regarding the Definition
![Page 9: Peggy A. Honoré, DHA, MHA Chief Science Officer Mississippi Department of Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149e8550346895db710b1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Healthcare FinanceLouis C. Gapenski, 2004
• The definition depends on the context– Policy maker or manager– Type of healthcare organization
• Practice setting………..Healthcare Finance is the practice of finance, including both accounting and financial management within health services organizations
![Page 10: Peggy A. Honoré, DHA, MHA Chief Science Officer Mississippi Department of Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149e8550346895db710b1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Healthcare Finance Competencies
Grounded in financial theory and
industry financial management practices

Steps to advancing a similar theoretical and empirical base in
Public Health Financethrough the RWJ funded project
![Page 12: Peggy A. Honoré, DHA, MHA Chief Science Officer Mississippi Department of Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149e8550346895db710b1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Public Health FinanceTheoretical and Empirical Base
Thomas E. Getzen, PhD
Rest on three conceptual pillars: I. The theory of investment (Finance) II. The theory of public goods (Economics)III. The theory of population health action (Public Health)
![Page 13: Peggy A. Honoré, DHA, MHA Chief Science Officer Mississippi Department of Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149e8550346895db710b1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Theory of Investment (Finance)
Thomas E. Getzen, PhD
Essential ElementsRisk and Timing
• What risks exceed market capacity and require government action? (hurricanes, epidemics, war)
• What risks perceptions are difficult and require information from regulatory agencies? (SEC, FDA)
• Which investments provide such diffuse benefits that they cannot be financed through individual or corporate actions? (NIH, CDC, NCHS)
![Page 14: Peggy A. Honoré, DHA, MHA Chief Science Officer Mississippi Department of Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149e8550346895db710b1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Theory of Public Goods (Economics)
Thomas E. Getzen, PhD
• Public goods answers the question of why people must engage in collective action in order to reap the benefits of individual exchange in the marketplace
• Well established work on the allocation of funding and financial rewards from research has not yet been widely translated and applied to the field of public health
![Page 15: Peggy A. Honoré, DHA, MHA Chief Science Officer Mississippi Department of Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149e8550346895db710b1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Theories of democracy demonstrate that the public’s health is an important collective [public] good because funds
are expended to benefit all or most of the population
Walzer, 1983
![Page 16: Peggy A. Honoré, DHA, MHA Chief Science Officer Mississippi Department of Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149e8550346895db710b1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Theory of Population Health Action (Public Health)Thomas E. Getzen, PhD
• Salient linkages to finance and economics include:– the assessment of risk– the evaluation of distributional consequences– the incidence of fee-based and tax financing– vaccine pricing– funding prevention and health promotion– and many others…….
![Page 17: Peggy A. Honoré, DHA, MHA Chief Science Officer Mississippi Department of Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149e8550346895db710b1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Competencies What should public health mangers
know about finance?
• Very little content is offered in the accredited SPHs that directly address public health finance concepts
• Only 8 of 32 programs surveyed offered a course with some content relevant to public health finance
• Public Health respondents to a survey added competencies that should be taught such as knowledge about the appropriations process, public financing, governmental systems
• Finance typically a sub-set under a broader category (e.g. management) in national public health competency reports
Gillespie,Kurz, McBride,Schmitz, JPHMP 2004
![Page 18: Peggy A. Honoré, DHA, MHA Chief Science Officer Mississippi Department of Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149e8550346895db710b1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What do we know about the finances that fund the public
health system?

Financial Related Research Findings
• Higher LHA performance capacity was greater based on agency expenditures per capita…Kennedy, JPHMP, 2003
• Effective health departments have larger annual expenditures and derive their budgets from a larger number of funding sources while ineffective agencies tend to have Medicaid as a significant source of their budget...Handler & Turnock, JPHP, 1996
• Higher performing public health jurisdictions had higher taxes per capita….Honoré, Simoes, Jones, Moonsinghe, JPHMP, 2004
• Agency spending is a significant predictor of performance…Mays et al, JPHMP, 2004

Lack of financial data limits the ability to conduct system-wide public health research
and analysis…
We know little about where the [health] dollars are spent and what they are purchasing
Thorpe,HCFR 1999
![Page 30: Peggy A. Honoré, DHA, MHA Chief Science Officer Mississippi Department of Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149e8550346895db710b1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Recommended Strategies for Obtaining Public Health Infrastructure Data
Lewin Group, 1997
• Data reporting by state and local public health agencies should be linked to funding streams
• The feasibility of using the ten essential services as a data collection tool should be carefully [cautiously] considered– not currently structured, organized, or funded in a similar manner
![Page 31: Peggy A. Honoré, DHA, MHA Chief Science Officer Mississippi Department of Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149e8550346895db710b1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
