“…Whilst the introduction of HSCA 2012 has caused a great deal of consternation and controversy (Timmins, 2012), much of this has centred on the perceived extension of the role of competition, particularly with reference to the secondary legislation of the Procurement, Patient Choice and Competition Regulations, which indicate that competitive procurement is to be preferred. However, the move from sector-specific regulation to competition law is also significant.…”

This article examines the impact of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 on the regulation of competition in the English National Health Service (NHS), by focussing on the change it marked from a system of sector-specific regulation to one which is clearly based in competition law. It has been suggested that the Act and its associated reforms would significantly alter accountability in the NHS, and would change decisions from the remit of public policy to that of the law. To assess the impact the Act has had in practice, the article compares the interpretation of the rules regarding competition in the NHS by the regulators of competition immediately before, and following, the passing of the Act. It argues that, whilst the reforms have the potential significantly to alter the way competition in the NHS is regulated, the impact of the reforms in this area is limited by the development of systems within the NHS to manage and resolve issues internally where possible.

“…After the controversies of the 2012 Heath and Social Care Act (Timmins, 2013), the care system moved towards developing new models of integrated care. The NHS's strategic five-year forward view (NHS, 2014) outlines that commissioners, the NHS and other providers will co-design the services based on a model of integrated care that targets specific cohorts, with their own exemplars, potential benefits, risks and transition cost.…”

Introduction: About half of hospital readmissions can be avoided with preventive interventions.Developing decision support tools for identification of patients' emergency readmission risk is an important area of research. Because, it remains unclear how to design features and develop predictive models that can adjust continuously to a fast-changing healthcare system and population characteristics. The objective of this study was to develop a generic ensemble Bayesian risk model of emergency readmission. Methods:We produced a decision support tool that predicts risk of emergency readmission using 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 approaches, and it was robust and stable with high precision. Moreover, the framework and the Bayesian model allow the model to continuously adjust it to new significant features, different population characteristics and changes in the system.

“…Scotland led the way for the devolved countries in abandoning the purchaser/provider and going back to a hierarchical system in which their Health Boards ran providers. From 2006, the government reintroduced provider competition into the English NHS, and the Lansley reforms sought to entrench that policy in primary legislation (Bevan 2014;Timmins 2012). …”
