Transforming community services: currency and pricing options for community services
This document is intended as a resource to be used by commissioners and providers of community services to help create transparent models of funding through the use of new currencies and better pricing at local level. New currencies (the units of healthcare for which a provider is funded) and better pricing are key to transforming community services, enabling commissioners to incentivise improvements in quality and value. The use of new currencies with accurate pricing should also lead to more services being available closer to home for patients.
