New publication from our Health Economics theme: Is Economic Evaluation and Care Commissioning focused on achieving the same outcomes?  Resource-allocation considerations and challenges using England as a Case Study

Matthew Franklin, Sebastian Hinde, Rachael Maree Hunter, Gerry Richardson & William Whittaker

Commissioning describes the process of contracting appropriate care services to address pre-identified needs through pre-agreed payment structures. Outcomes-based commissioning (i.e., paying services for pre-agreed outcomes) shares a common goal with economic evaluation: achieving value for money for relevant outcomes (e.g., health) achieved from a finite budget.

Funded by ARC YH, our researchers describe considerations and challenges as to the practical role of relevant outcomes for evaluation and commissioning, seeking to bridge a gap between economic evaluation evidence and care commissioning.
