The Independent Hospital Pricing Authority (IHPA) specifies requirements for activity and cost data, classifies hospital services, analyses costs, reports on data, and sets prices for public hospital services using an activity based funding model. Services included in the national activity based funding scheme are admitted patients, emergency department, outpatient clinics, and some community based services. The IHPA is exploring bundled pricing models which group healthcare services and treatments together into a single payment to encourage coordinated and integrated care.
