SummaryMental health payment by results (PbR) is a disruptive new prospective payment system intended to replace National Health Service block contracts in England and provide a mechanism for opening up the mental health economy. Patients are allocated to one of 21 treatment clusters, each with a different price or tariff. Clinicians perform cluster allocation using the Mental Health Clustering Tool. The clustering process makes demands on clinicians' time even with support from information systems. Clustering is novel and it is unclear how it will work in practice. The process is likely to be susceptible to gaming.LEARNING OBJECTIVESUnderstand that the clinical process of diagnostic classification is different from the financial process of clustering categorisation.Understand the importance of learning the clustering tool ratings definitions in order to make accurate cluster allocations.Recognise that mental health payment by results is driving the widespread adoption of outcomes measurement.
