The King's Fund Annual Debate. In America privatised health has been present for many years and there have been lots of attempts to improve the way treatment and healthcare is provided. At the moment people pay for the services which they receive, however the new movement proposed is for patients to pay for the outcome of the treatment and management they receive eg. HBA1C levels in diabetics. More clinical outcomes need to be developed to offer a more appropriate level of improvement resulting from a treatment. In the UK, NICE could learn from this approach in its decision making on the funding of medicine provided by the NHS.
