011706 Team Update V 7 6 Introduce competition Building blocks Hypotheses based on experiences so far • Leads to new ideas and new dynamics (better services, more Competition between payors Contestabilty for hospitals and doctors efficient medical cost management) • Example: Germany, U. S. • May impede chronic disease management and add overhead cost • Drives through improvements in efficiency and quality of care as well as responsiveness to patient needs • Examples: Foundation Trusts in England, regional budgets and contracting (e. g. , Norway, Italy, Germany) • Need to make the choosing process meaningful and data transparent to avoid competition on meaningless parameters – in reality choice does not mean patients choosing hospitals, but doctors choosing doctors with very limited factual information • Regulatory framework critical for overall success, two key roles Independent regulation – Consumer protection / quality watchdog – Financial, governance and market rules and behaviours of players 42

050913 GCC conference Systems reform breakout SETTING UP OF FOUNDATION TRUSTS IN ENGLAND New freedoms bestowed on hospitals Potential ways of improving services • Able to borrow money on capital markets • Companies with P&L, in charge of revenues and costs • No more directives from DH (previously over one per day) • Investment in new facilities • Full profit and loss accountability • Able to develop strategic partnerships • Able to develop new services • Innovating to develop patient services • Focus on efficiency and cost effectiveness – keeping the savings 44
