A large-scale study ( Forder et al 2012 ) piloting personal health budgets for people with long-term conditions found that they improved patients' quality of life and psychological wellbeing. They were cost-effective and reduced the use of other healthcare services. From April next year, people receiving NHS continuing healthcare funding will have the right to ask for personal health budgets. Some clinical commissioning groups are also introducing them for mental health service users and patients with other long-term conditions. This article outlines the benefits and challenges of introducing personal health budgets, and suggests how nursing managers can begin to consider their role in implementing them.
一项针对患有长期疾病的人群试行个人健康预算的大规模研究（福尔德等人，2012年）发现，个人健康预算改善了患者的生活质量和心理健康状况。它们具有成本效益，并减少了其他医疗服务的使用。从明年4月起，接受国民保健制度持续医疗资金的人将有权申请个人健康预算。一些临床委托小组也在为心理健康服务使用者和患有其他长期疾病的患者引入个人健康预算。本文概述了引入个人健康预算的益处和挑战，并建议护理管理人员如何开始考虑他们在实施个人健康预算中的作用。
