What PBR is Best practice/Outcome commissioning Should foster innovation and best practice Provider independence #blackbox Result determined by paymaster Criminal Justice System = Reduction of re-offending DWP = Off incapacity benefit and into work Troubled Families = less children in care
What PBR isn’t… The DoH model Paying by activity since 2003/4 (provider income = activity x price) About costs and efficiency Not patient outcomes Contract management Penalty clause Payment by outputs But milestones etc.
In theory Commissioner decides outcomes Commissioner decides how outcomes will be measured & verified Risk transferred from Government/Commissioner Payment only on success Should stimulate innovation
In practice It is hard to transfer all the risk Providers can’t/wont work for free for 5 years Partial schemes much more common Cashable savings difficult in criminal justice system Argument over milestones, frequency v binary Therefore, Innovation rare as Risk high.
Audit Commission Principles NO evidence base, so no clear recommendations but 5 key principles: ONE clear purpose A full understanding of risks Pay attention to payment & reward structure Sound financing for whole scheme Effective & robust measurement & evaluation
