This online learning series explores the innovative Prime Contractor Model employed by the Pennine MSK Partnership, led by Dr. Alan Nye. It addresses key challenges in care systems such as perverse incentives, performance management inefficiencies, and a lack of clinical leadership. The model is based on community care with a focus on rheumatology, orthopaedics, and chronic pain, utilizing a defined population budget and population quality KPIs. This approach not only aims to reduce costs while maintaining quality but also emphasizes patient-centered care and improved clinical outcomes.

Programme Budget Commissioning • Different from standard care • Commission for defined population with a defined budget • Commissioners have population quality based KPIs • Have prime contractor which shares responsibility for care co-ordination and performance management
