The ebd approach (experience based design) - NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement

It is being developed by the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement as a way of helping frontline NHS teams make the improvements their patients really want. While leading global companies have used similar approaches for years, the ebd approach is very new for the NHS. Where it has been used in the health service, it is having amazing results - delivering the sort of care that leave patients feeling safer, happier and more valued, and making staff feel more positive, rewarded and empowered.

Due to continued demand, we are delivering a new masterclass, which will introduce key concepts of the ebd approach will be suitable for anyone considering how to optimise the use of patient experience in designing and improving healthcare.

Five Payment Models: The Pros, the Cons. Back to Table of Contents | February 2011 Five Payment Models: The Pros, the Cons, the Potential By Janet Silversmith on behalf of the MMA Work Group to Advance Health Care Reform ■ Among the leading strategies to reform health care is the development and implementation of new payment models.

The goal is to change the way physicians, hospitals, and other care providers are paid in order to emphasize higher quality at lower costs—in other words, to improve value. In an effort to build on its health care reform activities that began in 2005, the Minnesota Medical Association convened a work group in 2010 to develop recommendations on how payment reform can best be advanced. . ■ Payment ModelsThe five payment models that the MMA work group reviewed are fee for service, pay for coordination, pay for performance, episode or bundled payment, and comprehensive care or total cost of care payment. Several different perspectives can be used to evaluate payment models.

References1. Model for Future Health Care Services. Under DBS we are working to develop a model of health care which will provide high quality, safe services which are accessible for all and provided by well trained, motivated staff in modern settings. Over the next twenty years two distinct forces will define the shape of our health services, namely: Greater provision of generalist services within communities or on a day-patient or out-patient basis than is the case at present. These will include primary care services, chronic disease management, social services maintaining and enhancing independence, and much of the surgery currently provided on an inpatient basis.

Greater specialisation particularly within acute hospital services. This will promote the quality of services by ensuring that professionals deal with a ‘critical mass’ of similar cases to achieve sufficient expertise. Open health innovation.

Evaluating and managing population risk has traditionally been the payer’s role in the health care system. But as providers become increasingly accountable for populations, they will need to be equipped with many of the same competencies that payers have been relying on for years.

This includes the right technology to capture both clinical and claims data, but also the ability to analyze and transform these data into actionable information that affords the delivery of high quality, efficient health care and ultimately real population health — that’s where actuarial services come in. There’s a reason why actuaries are known for incessant number crunching, data collection and manipulation (along with the occasional pocket protector) — it’s a complicated field that first requires extensive training and then plenty of experience to practice effectively.
