Recent Progress on the Laboratory of National GPO Platform Launched by THEKEY

  • A Field Study in Guangdong Province in China

China’s Basic Medical Insurance System involves over 1.4 billion people, forming the largest health insurance program in the world. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a national group purchasing organization (GPO) platform to provide healthcare products, services and relevant knowledge to hospitals, pharmacies and individuals at highly discounted prices. In this context, the Laboratory of the National GPO of Healthcare Resources was jointly established by China Association of Social Security (CAOSS), Social Medical Insurance Bureau of Heilongjiang Province and THEKEY in August, 2018 (https://nulltx.com/national-group-purchasing-of-healthcare-resources-kick-off-meeting-hosted-by-thekey-in-beijing/). It is aiming at fundamentally reducing the procurement cost of the healthcare products and services based on blockchain and big data technologies.

Kick-off meeting for the Laboratory in August, 2018, Beijing
In mid-October, the research team of the Laboratory conducted a field research in Guangdong Province, a pilot region in bidding and purchasing of healthcare product. As the largest Chinese province in population, Guangdong Province covers 109 million people, including 9 million senior citizens. Its expenditure of Basic Medical Insurance in year 2017 exceeds $132million. With such a colossal medical insurance program, Guangdong is taken as a good sample for GPO research. The research is aiming at exchanging ideas and experiences in the development of GPO platform, which will be a solid foundation for the successful completion and launch of the Laboratory. Led by Shuguang Shen, Vice President of CAOSS, Director of Healthcare Security Specialized Committee, and Professor of Sun Yat-sen University, and Dr. Kun Chen, Chief Marketing Officer of THEKEY, the research team consisted of Professor Shaoguo Zhai of Northwest University, Associate Professor Wan Wang of University of International Business and Economics, Professor Yangdong Fan of Guangdong Medical University, Associate Professor Yingying Ma of South China Agricultural University etc.

A seminar was firstly held at Sun Yat-sen University, one of the top 10 universities featuring medical science and pharmacology with the largest affiliated hospital system in China. Ping Wang, Guangdong Province’s branch leader of Xi’an Janssen Pharmaceutical Ltd. (https://www.xian-janssen.com.cn/en), one of China’s largest pharmaceutical companies, introduced the development and current situations of medicine group purchasing organizations in the region. During the workshop, key issues related to establish the GPO platform, such as pilots in drug bulk purchase, drug pricing mechanisms and medical insurance settlement standards, triggered heated discussions.

The team then visited Guangdong Medicine Exchange Center. Feng Yu, General Manager of the Center, hosted the conference and introduced the function, working mechanisms, management model and transaction flow of the Center. According to statistics, the total transaction volume of the Center exceeded $50 billion since its establishment in 2013, saving $4 billion for the medical procurement fund, which on average reduced the price of drugs by 9.29%. The “price comparison and competition mechanism” has been applied innovatively by the Center to help reduce drug prices. Utilizing the national social insurance data on the GPO platform developed by THEKEY and CAOSS can further reduce the price of drugs and at the same time better guarantee the quality of drugs.

According to the development plan of THEKEY GPO platform, there will be further surveys conducted in Xiamen and Shanghai, and the mid-term evaluation seminar will be held in the pilot region — Heilongjiang Province in December.

About THEKEY

THEKEY is a decentralized ecosystem of Identity Verification (IDV) tools integrating national big-data and the blockchain. THEKEY’s project team is now developing its identification verification (IDV) tool with blockchain using its proprietary Dynamic Multi-dimension Identification (BDMI) platform, uniquely using Personally Identifiable Information (PII) that has been exclusively authorized by the Chinese Government. THEKEY token (TKY token) is the only method by which to settle smart contracts signed between all participants across THEKEY Ecosystem. THEKEY testnet was launched in May 2018, and its mainnet is scheduled to be released at the end of this year. TKY is currently tradable across a number of exchange platforms such as HitBTC, Bit-Z, KuCoin, Lbank, Coinrail and LATOKEN.

THEKEY가 출범한 전국 GPO 플랫폼 실험실의 최근 진행 상황

  • 중국 광둥성 현장 학습

중국의 기초 의료 보험 제도는 세계에서 가장 큰 건강 보험 프로그램을 구성하는 14 억 이상의 인구를 필요로 합니다. 따라서 병원, 약국 및 개인에게 의료 제품, 서비스 및 관련 지식을 저렴한 가격으로 제공할 수 있는 국가 단체 구매 조직 (GPO) 플랫폼을 구축하는 것이 시급합니다. 이러한 맥락에서 2018 년 8 월에 중국 보건 복지 협회 (CAOSS), 흑룡강 성 사회 보험국 및 THEKEY가 보건 자원의 국가 GPO 연구소를 공동으로 설립했습니다

블록 체인 (blockchain) 및 빅 데이터 기술을 기반으로 한 의료 제품 및 서비스의 조달 비용을 근본적으로 줄이기 위한 것입니다.

10 월 중순, 실험실의 연구팀은 헬스 케어 제품 입찰 및 구매 시범 지역인 광동성 (Guangdong Province)에서 현장 조사를 실시했습니다. 인구 중 중국 최대의 주로서, 광동성은 9 백만명의 노인을 포함하여 1 억 900 만명을 포함합니다. 2017 년 기본 의료 보험 지출은 1 억 3200 만 달러를 초과합니다. 이러한 거대한 의료 보험 프로그램을 통해 광동은 GPO 연구를 위한 좋은 표본으로 간주됩니다. 이 연구는 GPO 플랫폼 개발에 대한 아이디어와 경험을 교환하는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다. GPO 플랫폼의 성공적인 완성과 출시를위한 견고한 토대가 될 것입니다. Shuguang Shen, CAOSS 부사장, 의료 보안 전문위원회의 책임자, Sun Yat-Sen 대학의 교수 및 Dr. Cheung, THEKEY의 CTO 등이 회의를 이끌었습니다.

세미나는 중국에서 가장 큰 부속 병원 시스템을 갖춘 의학 및 약리학을 다루는 상위 10 개 대학 중 하나인 Sun Yat-sen University에서 첫 번째로 개최되었습니다. 핑 왕 서안 얀센 제약 회사의 광동성의 지점 리더 (https://www.xian-janssen.com.cn/en), 중국 최대 제약 회사 중 하나인 개발 및 의학 그룹 구매의 현재 상황을 소개하였습니다. 워크샵에서 GPO 플랫폼 구축과 관련된 주요 문제 (예 : 약물 대량 구매시 조종사, 약제 가격 결정 메커니즘 및 의료 보험 결제 표준)등을 주제로 열띤 토론이 시작되었습니다.

팀은 광동 의학 교류 센터를 방문하였습니다. 센터 총 책임자인 팽유 (Feng Yu)는 컨퍼런스를 주최하고 센터의 기능, 작동 방식, 관리 모델 및 거래 흐름을 소개했습니다. 통계에 따르면, 센터의 총 거래량은 2013 년 설립 된 이래 500 억 달러를 돌파하여 의약 조달 기금으로 40 억 달러를 절약했으며 약값을 평균 9.29 % 인하했습니다. "가격 비교 및 경쟁 메커니즘"은 약 가격을 낮추기 위해 센터가 혁신적으로 적용했습니다. THEKEY와 CAOSS가 개발한 GPO 플랫폼에 대한 국가 사회 보험 데이터를 활용하면 약 가격을 더욱 낮출 수 있으며 동시에 약의 품질을 더 잘 보장 할 수 있습니다.

THEKEY GPO 플랫폼의 개발 계획에 따르면 하문과 상하이에서 추가 조사가 진행될 예정이며, 중기 평가 세미나는 12 월에 흑룡강 성 시험 지구에서 개최 될 예정입니다.
