ABSTRACT

UK has initiated since 2014 a new round of healthcare reform of its National Healthcare System(NHS), featuring more resources to the primary level, and made supportive reform method reforms for a variety of innovative mods of diagnosis and treatment. These efforts aim at promoting further refined management and ensure smooth progress of healthcare sector reforms. The authors introduced the historical evolution and latest trends of payment methods reform in the UK, and analyzed the review and update of the Quality and Outcomes Framework of basic medical service contracts for GP practices, which can hopefully provide useful references for the reform of payment methods in China.
