Interesting post. In any environment car...Hi Bill,<br /><br />Interesting post. In any environment careless or ill informed selection of a target can produce poor outcomes for service users. In the case of your plumbers, a delay in paying is likely to have produced a different outcome. In the case of drug treatment, NTA are focussing on 'successful completion'. However, unlike the plumbing example, if the service user represents within a year the 'success' is overwritten, so there is a sort of warrantee system that I hope and expect will be built into the PbR formula. Thus the payment system should focus the provider on working with the service user towards sustainable recovery. I see this as improvement on traditional practice where sustaining recovery was frequently not given an appropriate degree of focus. <br /><br />The treatment system will need to factor in consideration that only something like one in ten service users reach the measure of 'successful completion’ in any given year. The achievements of the other approximately 90% must not be devalued. In addition, on presentation some people are closer to recovery than others and we must be alert to cherry picking or stigmatisation at assessment.<br /><br />PbR is just one performance management tool in the wider outcomes debate. The focus on outcomes appears to be creating examples of innovation in the field which lead to greater choice for service users.<br /><br />Richard Tamlyn. Chair.
