| Annotation | Demand management means providing services in the right setting for patients' needs and providing guidance and support to care professionals to use these services at the right time, thereby avoiding individuals falling into a hospital model of care or remaining there too long. This paper sets out the tools and levers now available for practice-based commissioners to provide more services in the community, including clinical and financial accountability for commissioning services, opportunities to make savings and invest in community-based alternatives provided directly through the practice or through others, and incentives for managing care of patients in the most effective way.
