NeCST - What is it?
• Focuses on developing standards between
providers and payers to support electronic claims
submission and adjudication.
• The project is a unique collaboration between public
and private sector payers, national provider
associations and vendors.
• The initiative was established to meet current and
future needs for standardization of electronic health
claims information.

NeCST – Development and
Approval Process
• NeCST (Special Interest Groups) and the (Technical
Architecture Group) define the messages
• NeCST Executive Steering Committee Approves for
ballot submission
• Submit to HL7 International
• Once membership is passed it becomes the standard.
NeCST - Benefits
Payors
• National standard provides for consistency in data capture
with significant benefits for public and private sector
payors:
– Reduce cost of managing health billing data
– Reduce cost of processing health claims and payment
Health System
• The health care system can further benefit form the
success of NeCST through:
– Ability to communicate between organizations and across
jurisdictions
– Ability to collect broader encounter data in a format that could be
incorporated in the EHR (i.e. consistent semantics and structure)
NeCST – Benefits
Providers
• Reduce number of interfaces required for adjudication.
• Send electronic information to public and private sector
payers in a consistent messaging format
Consumer
• Increased speed & reliability of claims processing, while
also reducing paper based claims processing
• Reduce delays in obtaining claims information, and
contribute to the goal of secured and appropriate sharing
of patient data
Next Steps
 NeCST HL7 Generic Claims, Pharmacy, ChiroPhysio & Preferred Accommodation Messages
have passed HL7 v3 membership ballot & are
now HL7 ANSI approved standard (2004)
• Messages from the Vision Care, Oral Health &
Physicians SIGs will be submitted for HL7
Membership level ballot (Dec 2004)
• Once membership level ballot is successfully
completed, the NeCST messages will become
HL7 ANSI Standard (2005)
• NeCST Message Specifications -NeCST v1.3
(May 31, 2004) posted to web and will be
updated when remaining messages pass
membership ballot
Next Steps
• Develop the NeCST Maintenance, Conformance &
Compliance Strategy
• Complete the NeCST Implementation Guide

Public Awareness
Better health information for better health, e.g. :
– Maclean’s cover stories
– Extensive media coverage of fact-based reports—
part of the public debate
– Beyond today’s crisis: regions use indicators as
springboard for communicating with public
– FPT reporting
– Orientation of board
members and staff
– Annual report now a
university textbook

Drugs - The Information Needs
What we know
What we don’t know
•
Drug expenditure
continues to rise; this is not
just Canada
•
•
Prescribed drug
expenditure is driving the
increase in overall drug
expenditure
How does drug utilization
compare among Canadian
populations in terms of:
accessibility, appropriateness,
effectiveness, efficiency, safety?
•
Is drug spending optimal within
the continuum of care?
•
What strategies are most
effective in controlling costs
while ensuring high quality
patient care?
•
Level of drug spending,
growth rate and public
share vary across
jurisdictions

Drugs - The Information Needs
• How does drug utilization compare among
Canadian populations in terms of: accessibility,
appropriateness, effectiveness, efficiency, safety?
• Are differences in the prescribing of drugs due to
differences in Prescribers, underlying morbidity, or
differences in insurance coverage?
• Is drug spending optimal within the continuum of
care?
• What strategies are most effective in controlling
costs while ensuring high quality patient care?
Expenditures:
The Tip of the Iceberg
• Base
– Standards
– Data systems
• Below the water
– Claims level data
Start with what we have - populate over time
Initial set of indicators
•
Drug Expenditure trends in Canada
– Total drug expenditure as a percentage of healthcare spending
– Prescribed/non-prescribed drug expenditure as a percentage of
total drug expenditure
– Hospital drug expenditure as a percentage of total hospital
expenditure
– Prescribed drug expenditure per capita
– Publicly/privately insured and out-of-pocket expenditure as a
percentage of prescribed drug expenditure
– Average cost per prescription claim
•
Volume changes and mix in Prescribed Drugs in Canada
– Percentage of total expenditure and volume of claims by
therapeutic class
•
Intensity of Drug Use in Canada
– Average number of claims per claimant
– The percentage of the population that has made at least one claim
– Average number of Defined Daily Doses (DDD) per 1000 residents
per day
National Prescription Drug
Utilization Information
System
(NPDUIS)
NPDUIS
• ... to provide accurate and timely national
prescription drug utilization information to support
public drug programs in the establishment of
sound pharmaceutical policies, and the effective
management of Canada’s public drug benefit
programs
• The potential to complement and to support other
national initiatives such as the Common Drug
Review, Best Practices and Post-Marketing
Surveillance
• Other stakeholders, e.g. academic researchers
• In collaboration with PMPRB
NPDUIS
• CIHI and the PMPRB work collaboratively to
develop and to maintain the National
Prescription Drug Utilization Information
System (NPDUIS), each organization taking
the lead in areas in which that organization has
the expertise/ experience.
NPDUIS - The Scope
Current:
• Prescription claims level drug data
– Pseudonymous prescription claims level drug data
– From publicly financed drug benefit programs in
Canada
• Additional supporting data:
– Formulary and Drug Product data
– Health Canada Drug Data base
– F/P/T Formulary Information
– ATC/DDD
– Population statistics
– Information on Drug Benefit Plans/Programs
NPDUIS - The Scope
Expansion of NPDUIS:
• Prescription claims level drug data
– Pseudonymous prescription claims level drug data
– From privately financed drug benefit programs in
Canada
Uses and Disclosures of
Information from NPDUIS
• The permitted uses of NPDUIS data are set out
in the CIHI NPDUIS PIA
• CIHI will disclose NPDUIS data in accordance
with CIHI’s Principles and Policies for the
Protection of Personal Health Information, and
subject to Agreements between CIHI and the
jurisdictions to disclose data under their
authority
Uses and Disclosures of
Information from NPDUIS
• CIHI will use NPDUIS data to produce:
– An annual statistical report of Pan-Canadian
statistics
– Reports accessible through CIHI’s web site
for authorized and registered users
– Longitudinal and other analytical studies to
address specific health related questions
– Conduct analyses for third parties through
ad hoc data/information requests

• Support analytical and reporting requirements
of the NPDUIS
Claims Module
• Provide longitudinal descriptive and statistical
comparative information regarding drug
utilization related to publicly funded drug
benefit plans across the F/P/T Jurisdictions
Population Statistics Module
• Provide contextual and statistical comparative
information regarding demographics of the
populations of interest to NPDUIS
• Population statistics will be used as
denominators to enhance comparability of drug
utilization statistics or indicators
• Geographic information (i.e. postal code) will
be used to provide socioeconomic and
demographic information
Plan Information Module
• Provide longitudinal contextual and
comparative information regarding public
federal/provincial/territorial drug benefit
plans/programs across Canada
• Relevant references/links to drug benefit
plan/program information across the NPDUIS
will be essential to support the interpretation of
the information derived from each of the other
modules, or information derived at the system
level, i.e. from the integration of the modules
Drug Utilization Informing on:
• National Pharmacare
• National Formulary
• Catastrophic drug coverage/program
• Expanded drug coverage
• Disease management programs
• Primary care reform
• Outcome Measures
– How healthy are Canadians?
– How healthy is our healthcare system?
