Dr. Kalipso Chalkidou, Director, NICE International
Countries around the world are working to improve the quality of healthcare for their citizens. Kalipso Chalkidou, founding director of NICE International, shared the latest experiences of "paying for quality" in the UK's National Health Service, in relation to ongoing reforms. These reforms are the largest scale re-organisation the Service has experienced since it was set up in 1948. The presentation touched on the process and methods for developing quality indicators as well as (mostly) monetary means of incentivising their uptake by the primary, secondary and also commissioning (payer) sectors. She shared early results on impact of these schemes and on the role of the British National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence in developing and encouraging the uptake of these so-called Quality Standards. Kalipso's presentation was followed by a discussion on the relevance of the United Kingdom experience on paying for quality to the Results-Based Financing programs currently under design and implementation in developing countries.
