Introduction to outcomes based commissioning
The NHS needs to change what and how it commissions to create patient focused integrated services within the resources available.
Commissioners need to buy outcomes for services and not activity from organisations. This is a big change requiring technical knowledge and engagement with providers and communities.
The workshop on 27 February in Bristol, 19 March in Birmingham and 16 April in London covers the basic considerations for this new approach using experiences and case studies from across the NHS.
