4 The Private Hospital Association Thailand Editorial The Association is laying the ground for a new era of TPHA development to be active at the international level. In 1979, the Association was inaugurated with few founding member hospitals joining together with the goals of seeking common functions of Fee for Service health financing scheme. 1998 marked the beginning of the second phase when Dr. Surapong Amphanwongse and Dr. Chalerm Harnpanich became President and Secretary General respectively. Its goal was expanded to embrace private hospitals of all size and customer bases and the board members was increased from 14 to 25 to accommodate members from all regions of the country. This enables TPHA to have stronger roles in shaping the development and design of Thai healthcare structure. Many government bodies by laws give TPHA representative a seat on their boards. The third phase of the internationalization of healthcare is looming with auspicious beginning for Thailand Chapter of “Healthcare Beyond Border”. This presents an opportunity to our private healthcare industries to position themselves for a share of the new market. This pamphlet attempts to project a picture of our current status with regard to its services, quality of care, technology, and people. The contents do not reflect the official view and position of the TPHA, but are solely the view and opinions of the authors. Thank you.

Healthcare Beyond border Thailand Chapter 5 The Private Hospital Association Paradigm Shift toward a New Era

he Private Hospital Association of Thailand (TPHA) T was inaugurated in 1979 by 8 founding hospital members. Its subsequent development was steered by 17 consecutive management boards leading to a steady growth of TPHA to its current 207 hospital members comprising of large, medium and small size hospitals as well as standalone and chained hospitals.

Our goals are to be the coordination center among private hospitals, with other private allied partners, and also with the Government sector and in leading our sector to new Chapter of Thai private health cares.

6 The Private Hospital Association Thailand Private Hospitals provide an alternative to the medical service of the public sector for who can personally afford the expenses. Hence, most of our members are in the “Fee for Service” health financing scheme but some members also opted for the capitation health scheme run by the Government’s Social Security System for which our member hospitals are more popular than the public hospitals, having been selected by the public at large as their preferred primary hospital providers by a ratio of 60:40. Very few members are in the “Universal Coverage” health scheme with most provide only outsourcing services for specific tertiary investigations and treatments at a fixed rate of reimbursement per procedure, e.g. cardiac catheterization, open heart surgery , hemodialysis, cataract surgery, ESWL, and new born care. Currently, Private health care contributed 30% of Thailand’s total health resources while the contribution is higher for urban area, especially for the Greater Metropolitan region where its contribution is 60%, surpassing the public sector. Health care quality and safety are of paramount importance to the private health sectors and almost all private hospitals are accredited by either HA (Hospital Accreditation of Thailand), ISO, and/or Joint Commission International (JCI).

he health system in Thailand has undergone T a significant evolution over the years from mainly public predominance to the current public and private endeavours. The social changes such as internalization, urbanization, changes in disease burdens, progress in health and medical technology and conceptualization of health and diseases have led to new thrust in Thai health systems to meet the complex challenges of the new paradigm. Thus, the private sector has played a more important role in the delivery of quality health care at an affordable and competitive pricing to both the Thais and foreigners.

10 The Private Hospital Association Thailand The private sector in Thailand has spearheaded effeciency and cost effectiveness as the main strategy for its development. Thus, private hospitals are among the first awardees of ISO, JCI and ISQUAL regcognized accrediting institutions.

he Thai Healthcare Accreditation Program or HA has started since 1995 with the T following precursors: TQM pilot in public hospitals, hospital assessment tools for Social Security QA program, review of international HA standards. The first version of Thai HA Standards which was launched in 1996 had a component of encouraging continuous improvement as it was guided by the example from the Canadian Standards. In addition, the Thai HA Program was built on a strong philosophical foundation of “accreditation as an educational process, not an inspection.”

The Thai HA Program is operated by the Healthcare Accreditation Institute (HAI), which is a special governmentagency call a “public organization” of which has an independent governing board and partial budget support from the government to enhance quality and safety of healthcare in Thailand.

At present, both the Thai HA Standards and the HAI have been accredited by The International Society for Quality in Healthcare (ISQua) since 2010 and 2013 respectively. This achievement demonstrates a commitment to the international principle and standards, a willingness to continuously improve its program, and collaboration among various stakeholders. With a total number of 1,314 hospitals in Thailand, 45% have been accredited and 38% are in the pipeline.

The Thai HA Program has developed a series of innovation in response to current situations and healthcare system needs in each period of time. In 2004, a stepwise recognition or 3 steps to HA has been launched to encourage continuous improvement for hospitals with differential. In 2006, the criteria of HA, Health Promoting Hospital (HPH)
