Payment reform
About this event
The challenges our health system faces – rising demands, particularly from chronic diseases, limited resources and patients’ expectations of an improving service – mean we must look at how our payment system can better deal with these challenges. There are signs too that PbR is not always incentivising the right behaviours and the current system fails to promote joined-up care for patients, particularly for those with long-term conditions, because it prices individual treatments rather than a package-of-care based around the patient’s needs.
Changes introduced through the Health and Social Care Act 2012, provide an opportunity to reassess what needs to happen and how change should be led. This conference will act as a platform to discuss the findings of our new report, Payment by Results: how can payment systems help deliver better care?, and to consider how the NHS can design tariffs and payment models that put patients’ needs first and make it easier for clinical commissioning groups and other health partners to design more integrated pathways.
Why you should attend
- Understand how developing new ways using pricing and payment systems can deliver benefits for patients.
- Hear from Professor Jamie Robinson Kaiser Permanente Distinguished Professor of Health Economics and Director of the Berkeley Center for Health Technology, who will provide lessons from the US on using payment reform to promote integration and raise the quality of patient care.
- Come together with colleagues to discuss and debate the alternatives to payment by results, including bundled payments and capitated budgets.
Who should attend?
- Medical and clinical directors
- NHS chief executives
- Directors of performance and quality, system design and commissioning
- GP leads and clinical commissioning group designers
- Commercial and third sector providers of both health and social care services.
