Payment By Results
A Local PbR Solution from Ardentia
The introduction of Payment by Results meant healthcare providers being paid for the volume and complexity of the services they actually delivered, rather than simply receiving a block budget. Ardentia’s PbR module has been helping Trusts track their activity and payments since the start of the new system.
Our flexible Payment by Results solution enables you to apply both National and local tariffs to your data.
It applies all the rules governing PbR, concerning types of cases (Point of Delivery, HRG or specialty and age), lengths of stay or specialist services, as the Department defines them. Ardentia takes responsibility to ensure that every client’s system stays up to date as rules change or new ones are added.
The benefits of a localised PbR solution from Ardentia are:
- Analysis of PbR trends.
- It applies national tariffs in a fully transparent way.
- You can analyse results by speciality, diagnosis, HRG and much more.
- The system takes account of local tariffs.
- You can monitor actual activity against plan and highlight any differences there may be.
- You can make the reports available to any staff you authorise to see them, wherever they are, since reports are distributed on your own intranet.
- Reporting by exception is available.
- You can always drill through to base information at patient level so you can always track any anonmaly back to its source, within the patient record itself.
Underpinning the ARDENTIA PbR solution
Underpinning Ardentia’s Payment by Results solution is a set of core principles that govern the way in which the solution was developed:
- The report requirements comply fully with Connecting for Health standards.
- Our PbR solution is intuitive and easy to use as it is built on standard web functions.
- The product set provides unrestricted access to the underlying data which can be consulted to track down any matter of interest and can also be extracted to use in new reporting applications that may interest you.
- Access for PbR users to tools, reports, forms and data is strictly controlled by user login details.
Not only does Ardentia understand the challenges that you face; its unrivalled experience and specialist knowledge of the area mean that it is uniquely placed to help you make the most of the opportunities that PbR represents for your organisation.
