The Tunisian Ministry of Health (MOH) recognised the issues surrounding their billing structures and, launched a pivotal project to implement a medico-economic informational system, to change the future operational running.
Agencia entered a bilateral project with both the British Embassy and the Tunisian Ministry of Health to train key staff groups on the new systems. Agencia assembled a team of experts who were qualified to address two main areas:
Agencia delivered training on the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems from the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Presentations reinforcing the different methods for integrating economic and medical data, in order to calculate the cost per process and per DRG, were executed.
On top of this, additional training was provided for methods surrounding the cost weight, and how to develop the national scale of cost and its use in financing the health system.
