Purchaser and provider relations in the UK: a perspective from the private sector
Abstract
Gives an overview of the major features of the general changes in the UK health care system, and describes how PPP healthcare is taking advantage of those changes in developing and implementing strategies for relations with both hospitals and specialists. Notes that similar issues are faced by public sector purchasers. Points out that many of the initiatives described are being adopted, in one form or another, in health care industries across the world. Suggests that new insights or understandings may be found by seeing and considering those issues and initiatives in the context of health care economies.
