- Payment by Results (PbR) is the tariff based payment system funding for secondary care across the NHS in England.
- This guide is a simple introduction for newcomers to PbR
- PbR begins when a patient is treated in hospital and ends when the hospital is paid for that treatment.
- PbR is a data driven process that has its foundations in patient level data.
- This guide concentrates on PbR for acute services, but the Government intends that it should expand into other areas.
