Institute of Public Care, April 2015
  • An exploration of lessons learnt from a variety of approaches taken by councils to “outcome-based commissioning” in adult social care and how councils might incentivise the behaviours for providers so that the services that are offered do more to help people maximise their opportunities for more independent living. 
  • The paper has drawn on the experience of the author and discussions with providers, commissioners and customers receiving services.
