Why Casemix Based Approach for Service Planning?
• Countries around the world are frequently adopting casemix concept for better health outcomes specifically concerning hospital financing
• Foundation for intra and inter country comparisons
• Modifiable to account for county specific practice cultures
• Similar frameworks are being adopted for other service types like non acute and sub acute care
• Allows planning for specific resources like medical equipment and skilled workforce
More global acceptance

Challenges
Casemix Classification
• Different casemix classification frameworks and versions across countries
• Underdeveloped classification systems for service types other that Acute Care
Health Workforce
• Human resource profiles vary significantly between different countries
• Differences in the remuneration and work practice cultures across countries
Cost Indicators
• Full expenditure and revenue profiles are frequently unavailable leading to assumptions for many cost indicators
• Relative price adjustments and international health price indices need development to allow homogeneity and transparency in health care costs worldwide
Lack of comprehensive reference database spanning a wide range of countries
