  3. Payment systems for Provider organisations • A “lump-sum” payment to cover a specific or range of services, with no dependency on the quantity of demand or supply. Example: Community Services. Block • A “lump-sum” payment linked to the size and “complexity” of a population served by a Provider. Example: GP services. Capitation • A single payment to cover activity related to aspects of a specific pathway of care. Example: Hospital maternity services. Pathway of Care • Payment linked to the delivery of specific performance targets. Example: GP Quality for Outcomes (QOF) – Commissioning for Quality and Innovation (CQUIN) in Acute, Community and Mental Health Services. Pay for Performance • “Lump-sum” payment per patient per day of care. Example: Critical Care services in acute sector. Per Diem • Activity based reimbursement based prospectively on complexity of diagnosis/treatment/patient characteristics. Example: PbR in Acute and Mental Health Services. Case Based

  4. GMS • General Medical Services (GMS) contract is the contract between general practices and NHS England for delivering primary care services to local communities PMS • Personal Medical Services Agreement (PMS) are locally agreed contracts between NHS England and GP practice. Offers greater flexibility by offering variation in the range of services provided and the financial arrangements for those services. APMS • Alternative Provider Medical Services contract are allowed to be held by organisations (GMS and PMS have to be held by GPs), but are for a fixed term, (unlike GMS and PMS which are indefinite), usually 5-10 years, but more recently some 15 year contracts issued.

  5. A payment based on per-capita of registered patients at a practice (based on the Carr-Hill formula) designed to ensure that resources are directed to practice based on an estimate of their patient workload and unavoidable practice costs. Global Sum • Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOFF) payments which covers services such as the management of chronic diseases and implementing preventative measures such as regular blood pressure checks Quality Outcomes Framework • Payment that cover services such as childhood vaccination and immunisation schemes, extended hours access and improving patient online access. Enhanced Services • MPIG payment once available to some GMS practices are being removed over a 7 year period and being reinvested in core global sum payments. Case Based

  6. How is quality incentivised within tariff? • Best practice tariff • 18 areas of clinical best practice have higher prices than non-best practice. • E.g. stroke care, renal dialysis, same day emergency care • Commissioning for Quality and Innovation (CQUIN) • 2.5% top sliced from tariff to be recovered by delivering against a range of quality improvement items. • There are National and Local CQUINS which can change every year How about the relationship between efficiency and effectiveness – does efficient care mean high quality care?

  7. Local Authorities NHS England & CCGs Co-Commissioning CCGs Block/case based /capitation Block/Case Based/fee for service Capitated Payments Pay for Performance Capitation/case-based • Enhanced services (ES): • Payments linked to an enhanced level of provision above what is required under core GMS contracts. E.g. • Avoiding unplanned admissions • Extended hours access • Learning Disabilities • GPs supply services via 3 possible contracts: • General Medical Services (GMS) • Personal Medical Services (PMS) • Alternative Personal Medical Services (APMS) Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF): Rewards practices for the provision of 'quality care' and helps to fund further improvements in the delivery of clinical care • Enhanced services (ES): • Payments linked to an enhanced level of provision above what is required under core GMS contracts. E.g. • Avoiding unplanned admissions • Extended hours access • Learning Disabilities Public Health Community Based Services: E.g. Screening and Immunisations
