Defining the financial target control
Financial target management - general provisions
(1) the Contracting Parties agree to complement the control areas upstream in the 5th section with a financial target control as an integral part of the targeting health. The financial target control is in financial contracts at federal and State level, which are part of period-related federal and State control contracts, to be more specific.
(2) basis of financial target control is an output attenuation path across sectors to be agreed. This output attenuation path includes a forecast of health care spending without intervention, the agreed nominal expenditure ceilings for public health expenditure (excluding long term care) and the resulting attenuation effects in output growth (output damping effects). This ceiling on expenditure and output damping effects are to represent for the field of social security and the competence of the Länder at federal as well as country-level and country-level cross-sectoral expenditure ceiling and output attenuation effects merge.
(3) the Contracting Parties constitute a package of measures based on financially weighted and verifiable assumptions which is suitable in sum, actually achieving the agreed expenditure ceiling and the resulting output damping effects. The final objectives finally focused on the respect of the applicable expenditure ceilings.
(4) following are criteria at the federal level for the definition of the output damping path: 1. is the increase in public health spending gradually as far as steaming, that the annual increase in output does not exceed a value of 3.6 percent (average development of the nominal gross domestic product in accordance with the medium-term forecast for the Federal Finance frame law) in 2016 in the first period of targeting health from 2012 to 2016. In other periods, the annual output increase in the average development of gross domestic product in accordance with the medium-term forecast for the Federal Finance frame law in amended remains coupled.
2. in 2016 is to achieve an output damping effect of €1.3 billion, so a maximum spending limit for public health expenditure arises in the year 2016 total of 25,563 billion euros.
3. for the first period of targeting health from 2012 to 2016, cumulative output damping effects of a total of 3.43 billion euros are to achieve.
(5) in subsequent periods are, especially for the period up to 2020, in the federal target control contract to set binding values for in par. 4 Z 1-3 listed sizes and the possible change in the methodology for determining these values. The agreement in accordance with article 15a B-VG on the Organization and financing of health care in the current version should be noted.
(6) compliance with the output attenuation path at federal and land level is imperative to ensure through partnership agreed measures in the context of targeting health.
(7) the determination of defined for the financial target control as target control relevant health issues in the countries and social security has to be transparent and comprehensive. The methodology of the Austria-wide representation and the output numbers for the first period of targeting health are laid down in the articles 26 and 27. They are mutually disclosed for the identification of public health expenditure and data works required for the subsequent monitoring and the corresponding data origins are to expel.
(8) health spending from the pension insurance, accident insurance, health care institution and the Federal Government, as well as investment are be presented separately.
(9) the financial target control refers to the use of the funds. Targeting health shall be without prejudice to the relevant provisions to the source of the funds, in particular the provisions in the agreement in accordance with article 15a B-VG on the Organization and financing of health care in the current version.
(10) in the implementation of the financial target control is in any case to ensure that the social health insurance to seek an income-oriented spending has.
Strengthening of health promotion
(1) in order to strengthen health promotion and Prevention Fund with its own billing circle as a so-called "health promotion fund" are in all country health fund without legal personality.
(2) throughout Austria are allocated to this health promotion fund for 10 years (2013 to 2022) with a total of 150 million euros, where social 130 million euros and in equal annual tranches of EUR 20 million to introduce by the countries. The social security funds will be after the insured key, the resources of the countries be applied according to the number of people and distributed in this way on the Länder.
(3) the decision on the use of funds from the health promotion fund in the country target control Commission in the agreement between the country and social security takes place at the country level.
(4) funds not used in the financial year are to strike the health promotion resources available the following year.
(5) the federal target control Commission has to use this funding to adopt principles and objectives, which is in particular to ensure that health promotion projects do not contradict the fundamental objectives of the federal target control treaty and the country control contracts.
Content and subject to the financial framework contracts
(1) the financial framework contracts set the expenditure ceiling and the output damping effects derived from federal and land level. These include that of the Contracting Parties in the context of targeting health to control health expenditure, which in future are subject to a joint financial responsibility of countries and social security with regard to the use of funds, as set out in article 22.
(2) at the federal level, the financial framework contracts for the respective period of targeting health have to include at least the following content: 1 for the nationwide cross-sectoral output attenuation path of public health care spending without long-term care: a) the output value for the first year of the relevant period b) the evolution of expenditure in the period without intervention c) the annual expenditure ceiling and the result to be derived from d) annual and accumulated over the period of the output damping effects, as well as e) the allocation key for the output damping effects on the two sectors 2.
For the nationwide sectoral output damping paths of public health expenditure for controlling financial target ongoing relevant: a) the output values for the first year of the relevant period b) the evolution of expenditure in the period without intervention c) the annual expenditure ceiling and the result to be derived from d) annual and accumulated over the period output damping effects in accordance with subpara 1 lit. d and e separately for countries and social security 3.
The Division of lit in no. 2. c and expenditure ceilings shown in d and output attenuation effects derived from a) on the b's nine federal States) on all carriers of social health insurance, as well as the c) State-way merging lit. Separately to represent b 4 are: a) investments b) health spending of pension insurance (in particular rehabilitation) c) health expenditures of the accident insurance d) health spending of Krankenfürsorgeanstalt e)

The specific design of the differentiated output representation for the extra - and intramural field, as well as the generation of the necessary data bases shall be agreed in the first federal target control contract.
6 Furthermore the content are in the first federal target control contract nationwide framework regulations for the country level according to para 3 No. 7 of to financing and clearing mechanisms for agreed cross-sectoral shifts in performance.
(3) at the country level, the financial framework contracts for the respective period of targeting health for all nine provinces have to include at least the following content: 1 representation of the output damping path of for controlling financial target running relevant public health spending of the country: a) if the output value for the first year of the relevant period b) the evolution of expenditure in the period without intervention c) the annual expenditure ceiling and the result to be derived from d) annual and accumulated over the period output damping effects pursuant to par. 2 No. 3 lit. : â 2. representation of the output damping path of for controlling financial target running relevant public health expenditure of social security in the country) the output value for the first year of the relevant period b) the evolution of expenditure in the period without intervention c) the annual expenditure ceiling of social security and the result to be derived from d) annual and accumulated over the period output damping effects pursuant to par. 2 No. 3 lit. (c) 3.
The appearance of the merged output damping path in accordance with no. 1 and no. 2 for the respective State 4.
Attributable to the respective Federal State investment distribution by country and social security 5.
The expenditure of both sectors are displayed according to a functional outline due to a nationwide report template: a differentiated presentation of expenditure according to the existing functional structure is to make for the extramural area. A differentiated presentation of essential financial positions of the national health fund and the countries/communities is to make for the intramural field. In addition, it is for the intramural sector on the basis of the estimates and accounts of the hospital institution and starting from the uniform data bases for hospitals cost accounting one according to material and functional aspects differentiated from these computing works to define derived expenditure or cost display (expenses/costs for staff, medical and non-medical health and consumer goods including a separate presentation of the remedy for the purchase of medical and non-medical services and investment) and to supplement. A differentiated appearance is functional and technical areas to strive for.
The measures agreed in the country target control treaties are 6 to represent in budgetary terms, as follows: a) overall assessment of the measures in accordance with article 17 para. 2, art. 18 para. 2 and art. 19 para. 3 and b) whose impact on the intra - and extramural area.
7 binding rules for cross-sectoral funding and allocations pursuant to par. 2 No. 6 of performance shifts caused by targeting health or newly established forms of care article 25
Definition of the output damping path for the first period on the federal level
(1) public expenditure on health are the basis for the determination of the nominal expenditure ceilings including output damping effects at the federal level, as well as for the definition of sectoral and regional expenditure ceilings for the first period from 2012 to 2016 2010 in their respective expression by making selections in analogy to the approaches of Statistics Austria on the basis of "System of health accounts (SHA)".
(2) the output attenuation effects arise from the difference between of the forecast of public health care spending without intervention and the expenditure ceilings to get closer to the path of GDP.
(3) on the basis of public health spending without long-term care (öGA) 2010 in height from 20,262 million euros an increase in public health spending for the year 2011 with 3.3% will be applied. This results in an output value for 2011 in the amount of 20.931 million euro.
(4) for the forecast of health care spending without intervention, an annual value of increase in is taken for the years 2012 to 2015 of 5.22% and for the year 2016 by 4.65%.
(5) from the gradual rapprochement with the Z 1 predicted GDP path in accordance with art. 22 par. 4, the following output attenuation path is apparent for the years 2012 to 2016:
Output development public expenditure on health without intervention
annual output attenuation effects (rounded)
1,300 article 26
Definition of the output damping path for the first period in the range of countries
(1) the countries undertake to achieve until 2016 cumulative output damping effects of public health expenditure amounting to 2.058 million euro in the first period.
(2) on this basis, up 2016 following to output damping effects of public health expenditure for the countries arise for the first period:
(accumulated: EUR 216 million)
168 million euro
(cumulative: 384 million euro)
(cumulative: 588 million euro)
192 million euro
(cumulative: 780 million euro)
Cumulative output damping percentage of countries by 2016:
2.058 million euro (3) that set output damping effects are in para 2 to achieve from the countries on the basis of the ongoing health-care-related expenditure of the country health fund financed hospitals (FKA). The target control relevant output values are from the accounts of the Land Fund and the countries and to derive municipalities as follows (cf. annex): expenses for Fund hospitals (FKA) less subsidies according to accounts (RA) the National Health Fund (LGF) (incl. budget according to health and social aid Act (GSBG)). Capital expenditure (incl. debt for investment) less subsidies. Structural funds less subsidies. Operating outlet cover designated via LGF less subsidies. foreign guest patients less subsidies. results in other charges: Zielsteuerungsrelevante plus expenses for FKA pursuant to RA of the LGF.

Operating outlet cover/operating grants for nursing homes (if relevant) plus. Social assistance (if not included in RA National Health Fund) gives: Zielsteuerungsrelevante health care expenditure in the area of the countries (4) issues of the country health fund for Central according to health and social aid Act (GSBG) are included in the target control-specific baseline. This output position is to undergo a separate analysis in the context of the Finanzzielsteuerungs monitoring anyway. Resulting changes in GSBG due to changed regards in particular in staff allocations between local authorities and hospitals societies remain at best in establishing implementing expenditure ceilings out of consideration.
(5) a modification of the appearance of financial statements of the national health fund and other existing underlying computing works of a country, unless for targeting health relevance, are transparent to the partners of targeting health. A time series continuity at the positions relevant to the financial target management is anyway to make sure any changes is to establish agreement to ensure this continuity with the Contracting Parties of the Federal Commission in the control of the target
(6) for the countries, an output value for the year 2010 is defined by 9,320 million euro as target control-related health issues; for 2011, a value of 9.627 million arises thus taking into account the underlying increase of 3.3%.
(7) in the first period until 2016 following expenditure ceilings including output damping effects, being the implementation of the targets in the period in the foreground will be so for the countries:
Defined output values of the countries for financial target control, without output damping (nationwide)

11.569 million € Übererfüllungen the output damping effects of countries in one year can be applied to subsequent years, provided complied with the annual expenditure ceilings set.
(8) the distribution of the expenditure ceiling including the output damping effects to be achieved within countries is done by the countries and document (decision of the country financial officer Conference from October 2, 2012) in the Federal and respective country target control contracts.
Definition of the output damping path for the first period in the field of social security
(1) the Federal Government shall ensure that the social security institutions in the first period to achieve until 2016 cumulative output damping effects of public health expenditure in the amount of EUR 1,372 million.
(2) on this basis, up 2016 following to output damping effects of public health expenditure for social security arises for the first period:
84 million euro
(cumulative: 144 million euro)
(accumulated: EUR 256 million)
(accumulated: EUR 392 million)
(cumulative: 520 million euro)
Cumulative output loss share of social security by 2016:
1,372 million euro (3) that set output damping effects are in para 2 to achieve the social security on the basis of the current expenditure. The accounts of the social security institution to form the basis for the target control relevant expenditure of social security, with following issue shares to determine the relevant output values to the withdrawal are (see appendix): 1 transfers to the national health fund 2. remittances for the private hospitals Financing Fund (PRIKRAF), accident and other hospitals as well as Hanuschkrankenhaus hospital 3. inpatient rehabilitation 4 health strengthening and prevention of disease (spas) 5. cash benefits (sickness benefit, maternity benefit, funeral expenses grant) 6 depreciation 7 financial expenses 8 transfers to the compensation fund of 9 other extraordinary expenses 10 assignment reserves (4) modifications of the appearance the accounts of social security, as far as they are relevant to the target control health, are transparent.
