OHE Seminar Briefing, 2 March 2017
  • Summary of a seminar given by Dr Nicholas Hicks, COBIC (Capitated Outcomes-Based Incentivised Care).
  • The COBIC approach involves six elements: (1) defined population and scope, (2) desired outcomes associated with indicators, (3) service model redesign, (4) financial analysis and defined budget, (5) agreed contract form and duration, describing incentives and risks, and (6) readied and prepared service providers.
  • Includes discussion of the Bedfordshire Musculoskeletal (MSK) project, where COBIC worked with Bedfordshire CCG to improve MSK care and outcomes, and to decrease per capita costs.
