Merge Payment by results to here

I suggest to merge Payment by results to here as the two topics are sufficiently closely related, and it would make one stronger article instead of two weak ones. EMsmile (talk) 11:28, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing me to that other discussion, very interesting. I had another thought and that is if we should consider merging this one into Output-based aid? - Pinging also User:BobKilcoyne in case they wish to comment. - Thanks. EMsmile (talk) 12:45, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've carried out the merger now. For the purpose of this article, I have pretty much used performance-based contracting (PBC) and payment by results (PbR) interchangeably. Is that OK like this? I guess they are slightly different but share so many aspects. For what it's worth, this is what Chat-GPT suggested when I asked it about the differences: "While PBR and PBC share common principles of linking payments to performance, PBR is a broader concept applied across various sectors and funding mechanisms, whereas PBC specifically refers to contractual agreements focused on performance outcomes in service delivery or project implementation."EMsmile (talk) 15:36, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removed text block about NHS

I've removed this textblock because it is way too detailed, too specific to the UK; sources are difficult to access. Was originally added by a contributor who was later banned (User:Rathfelder):

National Health Service

A national tariff was introduced to the British NHS in 1990 and operated in the English NHS until 2020, prescribed in the National Health Service Commissioning Board and Clinical Commissioning Groups (Responsibilities and Standing Rules) Regulations 2012.^[1] Clinical Commissioning Groups, and NHS England are required to enter into standard PbR contracts with providers. Such a contract between an NHS commissioner and a hospital trust is compulsory for all services provided to NHS patients. NHS improvement is required by section 116 of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 to produce a national tariff, which trusts must be paid for all the specified services. There is provision for an increase to the tariff. University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust was the first, and so far only one, in July 2015, to get an increase for its services agreed by Monitor (NHS) because of its "increased costs associated with this trust running health services across multiple sites in rural locations". It is paid more per episode for accident and emergency, surgery, trauma and orthopaedics, paediatrics, women's health, and non-elective medical conditions. This is expected to increase the trust's income by more than £20 million per year.^[2]

In 2019-20 a new blended tariff with a fixed payment based on expected activity plus a risk share element was introduced for emergency care, and will be rolled out to other areas.^[3]

In March 2020 the payment by results system was suspended in the English NHS as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic in England and replaced by a system of block contracts.^[4]

According to Jeremy Hunt the payment by results system incentivises hospitals to maximise the number of operations they perform and disincentivises prevention of illness.^[5] EMsmile (talk) 15:05, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
