The NHS in England is following the US, Australia and many countries in Europe in introducing a system of paying hospitals and other providers on the basis of the work they do. Providers receive a fixed payment -- the national tariff -- for each type of patient treated. Termed "payment by results" by the English Department of Health, the policy rewards providers for volumes of work adjusted for differences in case mix. This book draws lessons from international experience and research and is based on the presentations and discussions at a conference organised by the Office of Health Economics and the University of York Centre for Health Economics and held at The Commonwealth Club, London, on 31st March 2004.
