Expand the FDH system nationwide for every fund.

Dr. Chonnan said: Financial Data Hub (MOPH Financial Data Hub) or “FDH” is part of the system development to drive digital health policy, raising the level of 30 baht treatment everywhere. with one ID card By linking healthcare information and information on compensation for medical services between service units and related medical treatment rights funds In the past, 902 service units under the Office of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Health have started testing the data. It was found that the data could be sent to all FDH locations in just 38 days. Therefore, the Ministry of Public Health joined with the NHSO to connect. Link data for disbursement of health insurance rights For service units in 4 pilot provinces: Phrae, Phetchaburi, Roi Et, and Narathiwat, a total of 49 locations, from January 7, 2024, starting with 30 baht for treatment everywhere. So far, more than 500,000 cases have been collected, totaling more than 600 million baht. NHSO has rushed to approve more than 80,000 cases, more than 30,000 have successfully transferred money, and nearly 5 million baht in compensation to be received.

“Thanks to the cooperation from NHSO and service units in the 4 pilot provinces. that participated in the operation until the information was up-to-date through the Dashboard. From now on, FDH will expand the data link for disbursement with the Health Insurance Fund. In service units in 8 pilot provinces, 30 baht treatment everywhere, phase two, and connecting the entire country by the end of 2024, which will cover nearly 47 million people with health insurance rights, accounting for 70% of Thai people’s medical treatment rights. And the next phase will expand the data link for disbursement to the Social Security Fund. and medical benefits for civil servants The consideration of disbursement conditions will be under the authority of each fund,” Dr. Chonnan said.

April: Expanded use of hospitals under the department.

Dr. Chonnan said: Currently, all 902 service units under the Office of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Health are 100% complete. Today we come to develop users in terms of usage systems. The remaining 993 places are hospitals under other jurisdictions of the Ministry of Public Health, such as Department of Medical Services, Department of Mental Health, etc. will be expanded to cover If we can connect all the systems here, we should probably start here. April onwards. However, the disbursement information will be linked with 30 baht treatment everywhere. It is a pilot project to allow other medical treatment rights to join in the process. Voluntary Ministry of Public Health Because it is not involved in the internal systems of each fund, the FDH system will act as a clearing house. Helps facilitate disbursement and data maintenance. Because it is a digital system that connects all funds. and display numbers in real time Makes disbursement convenient and fast It is considered a systematic development. Helps reduce the workload of recording redundant data. Prepare information for reimbursement for medical services from all funds. and increase efficiency in budget disbursement of service units It also analyzes and processes Ready to display data in Business Intelligence format that can be analyzed to plan and formulate strategies.

National Health Insurance Fund of service units under the Ministry of Public Health through MOPH FDH correctly, completely, timely, transparent and verifiable The cooperation period is 3 years.

NHSO does not need to clear UCEP.

Asked when the future pushes MOPH FDH to act like a clearing house, sending disbursement information to all funds. As for rights for critical emergency illness, rights everywhere (UCEP), where NHSO was the original Clearing House, will there be a need to adapt to this system as well? Dr. Chonnan said that UCEP rights will be taken care of by the NHSO first, that is, they will pay for all rights and then the NHSO will collect various funds. according to benefits It is a normal manual system. Later, when we developed E-Claim, it still used the nature of manual data forwarding. When the level of technology was raised to 30 baht, we developed a system to open the front of the house for doctors along with LINE OA to communicate with the public. People who come to use the service will have their personal health history (PHR) recorded electronically. Having it here will be convenient. If we develop a financial information center that already exists It will be convenient to send and withdraw money from each fund. It is compensation for using the manual system from UCEP to not UCEP. Every disease can be used with UCEP as well. This is the principle that we are already doing.

Asked: In the future, UCEP will use FDH to transfer disbursement information to each fund. Dr. Chonnan said: I just used this system. It’s accessible everywhere. UCEP is good in light of the rights of other funds now. Those who have not yet joined in, once they can use UCEP to go anywhere, they can immediately take FDH and catch them. I repeat, does NHSO have to pay first and clear the ring later? Dr. Chonnan said: It’s no longer necessary because FDH can shoot right into the fund base. There is no need to pay first. This is the advantage of UCEP.

The FDH system helps monitor the Ministry of Public Health budget.

Asked whether MOPH FDH will let the Health Economics Division take care of it in the long term or not. Dr. Chonnan said: Digital Health Office It is a newly established agency that looks at the entire structure, back of the house, front of the house, and develops the entire digital system. The Health Economics Division will look at the cost dimension. NHSO is the person who pays. The Health Economics Division will take care of the system. When there is an FDH, all the information will be here. Various benefits of each fund immediately will be shot into each fund I hardly did anything. Just keep an eye on how the items are delivered. Is the information required? Not just financial information But it is also service provision information. You will know what service activities are available. How is the money used? Appropriate and inappropriate for each fund

I asked again that in the future where disbursement information will be sent to all 3 funds, will there need to be a specific unit set up to take care of this system? Dr. Chonnan said no because it was already a digital system. Just monitor it. The destination is the fund. From the old system, service units sent to the fund. If placed like that, it would be chaotic and unsystematic. If we put in pipes for every government and private service facility, they’ll all come in here. It would be easier to be the launcher for each fund.

Asked if it will be a target for hackers or not. Because it is a large database Dr. Chonnan said: It’s already been targeted. It depends on our potential to be systematically safe. Didn’t bring data into a big pool. Because a little bit more will come in the form of blockchain. The more you don’t have to keep it. But now we use the cloud to consolidate data. But what we are confident in is the safety system that has been put in place.

Didn’t pave the way for a total of 3 funds

The reporter asked if there was criticism that this kind of system was put in place to pave the way for the integration of the three health funds. Dr. Chonnan said that we are not combining. Don’t let the news spread to divide society. We didn’t include it at all. Each fund is responsible for managing the fund. We only send information to you. As I said, if the service unit shoots the fund, it’s very confusing, but we’ve integrated FDH into a system that comes in here. in the same pipe Then the pipe was shot to the fund. Utilization of data in integrated dimensions of health We are in control of the Ministry of Public Health, so you can see how much NHSO services are used, what is social security like for civil servants? Each fund can use it to manage its own data. Then let’s look at the country’s overall health expenses like this. Where is the distortion? It can be useful in formulating policy. Set various amounts of money

Asked whether this was based on Sections 9 and 10 of the National Health Security Act of 2002 or not, Dr. Chonnan said: It didn’t follow that spirit. This is just the management of information channels, Sections 9 and 10, which means coming together to provide services, which in 20 years we have never been able to come together to provide services. Doing this doesn’t mean pooling everyone’s money together to provide services. But we rely on the digital system to make everyone turn to each other. Look at the information of each group. He himself holds his own funds. It is the joint operation of the database that leaves the service system.
