Making Sense of the Contracting Process

All purchasers and providers in the health service are inextricably involved in the contracting process, and have little but their own experience on which to build. Drawing widely on a variety of case studies, this book explains the practical aspects, highlights the opportunities and hazards, and stimulates innovation and new ideas. Although written primarily for managers, clinicians and fundholders, the advice it contains should be valuable to a much wider readership.
