Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Despite its potentially profound repercussions, the general practitioner fundholding scheme has received relatively little attention from researchers. We provide here a theoretical foundation for empirical studies of fundholding. We begin by reviewing the incentives of the fundholding scheme. The responses of GPs to these incentives depend on the objectives of GPs, raising the questions : what are GPs trying to maximize? what GP objectives are useful in explaining their behaviour? After addressing these questions, we formulate several models of behaviour, focussing in turn on referrals, prescribing, workload, and the agency relationship between the GP and patient. These models illustrate how we can provide a conceptual basis for researching various aspects of fundholding."(...). Author

Book excerpt: "GP fundholding was one of the most contentious elements in the British Government's controversial reforms to the NHS. It gave GPs the power to buy services direct from hospitals on behalf of their patients, the most radical change in the funding of the service since 1946. Did this give more choice and power to patients or did it give fundholders' patients an unfair advantage? Is it destabilizing the NHS? Are GPs or district health authorities the best purchasers of health care?" "Professor Glennerster of the LSE has been monitoring the scheme since 1990 as part of a King's Fund-supported research project. This book reports on his research. It traces the origins of the idea and looks at the way it was implemented in three regions. It goes on to study in detail the impact on ten first wave and sixteen second wave practices and examines the financial issues. Finally, the book weighs up the pros and cons of UP fundholding and suggests a way forward." "Implementing GP Fundholding will be of interest to a wide range of health professionals, health authority members and managers. It will also be useful for students of social policy, public administration and health studies."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Download or read book The Economics of Public Spending written by David Miles and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2003-03-20 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Economics of Public Spending investigates the extent of government involvement in the economy, details its rational, and traces its historical record. The book unites articles previously published in Fiscal Studies, each one addressing a different area of expenditure and written by an economist specializing in that field. They describe both the data on public expenditure and the theory relevant to understanding the policy issues. A new introduction investigates the overall role of the public sector and discusses the general theory of public expenditure. In providing a detailed analysis of public expenditure, the book makes an important contribution to the economics literature. There are no other texts with this breadth of coverage or depth of analysis. Insights are provided into both the policy issues, cross-country comparisons of expenditure, and alternative approaches to economic analysis. The chapters apply the tools of orthodox public finance, public choice, modern public economics, and game theory to reach a range of policy proposals and conclusions. These demonstrate the range and potential of economic analysis when applied to these important issues.

This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controlling costs in health care is rarely something that can be tackled in isolation. Cost control invariably interacts with issues of quality and health care access. Thus, this diverse collection of papers is concerned not just with costs but more importantly with value. Both macro and micro concerns are covered. At the macro level, health care reforms (and especially the ’marketisation’ of health care systems) receive some attention. Papers explore how policy prescriptions get translated and modified during implementation, and assess how these prescriptions impact on both the incentive context and subsequent patterns of service delivery. Resource allocation within bureaucratic health systems continues to pose problems and these too are analysed with new solutions being proposed. At the micro level, a number of contributors wrestle with the difficulties of carrying out the economic evaluation of new drugs and technologies. In each case, the wider theoretical and practical implications of balancing costs and benefits are explored. This collection should prove helpful to health care policy specialists, managers and researchers interested in gaining a feel for the real-world application of cost-focused health services research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'modernization' of the NHS is at the heart of the UK government's policies for public sector services. This modernization programme represents the most radical and ambitious restructuring of the NHS since its inception in 1948. The new Primary Care Groups and Trusts (PCG/Ts) are the main organizational mechanism for delivering the modernization agenda and are therefore key to the success or otherwise of these reforms. To date there has been no comprehensive evaluation of how PCG/Ts have been performing in implementing the modernization programme; this book fills that important gap in knowledge. It provides a strong text of first evidence about the performance of PCG/Ts to date; this forms the basis for discussions about future success and a benchmark for future research. The New Primary Care will be an essential resource for all advanced students of health care as well as academics, researchers and policy makers.
