Developing Alternative Reimbursement Models for Hospital Admissions related to COVID-19 This is the second part of a report released by the Board of Healthcare Funders (BHF) on the work done by the Industry Technical Advisory Team (ITAC). The group was tasked with exploring the feasibility of creating a global fee for COVID-related admissions. The first report was from the ‘top-down’ team: it analysed the variation in COVID admissions and assessed the possibility of a global fee. The second team in the ITAC group explored the same question but using a ‘bottom-up’ approach. We held a series of interviews with hospital groups and this paper is a summary of the learnings from our discussions with the hospital executives, analysts and clinicians interviewed. Hospital executives spanned clinical risk management and funder relations.
