Apparently they are either trying to or in the process of implementing payment by results in the UK (or just England?) mental health system. It looks like this would be used at a higher service funding level than individual nurses being paid for every depressed person they cheered up. There is a reasonably comprehensive article here: Payment by results in mental health: the current state of play in England ‘Payment by results’ is a method of paying for the services of hospitals and other providers. Plans are well underway to use it within the National Health Service (NHS) in England, and some health authorities began to introduce it in 2005. The author goes into more detail. Payment by r...
