Scope note: Estrategia para adquirir atención sanitaria de forma tal que los compradores y receptores de la misma obtendrán el máximo valor por el precio. El concepto fue desarrollado originalmente por Alain Enthoven, de la Stanford University, y promulgado por el Jackson Hole Group. La estrategia depende de los patrocinadores de los grupos de población a ser asegurados. El patrocinador, en ocasiones una alianza de salud, actúa como un intermediario entre el grupo y los grupos proveedores competidores (planes de salud responsables). La competencia está basada en el precio entre primas anuales por un paquete definido de beneficios estandarizados.

Scope note: A strategy for purchasing health care in a manner which will obtain maximum value for the price for the purchasers of the health care and the recipients. The concept was developed primarily by Alain Enthoven of Stanford University and promulgated by the Jackson Hole Group. The strategy depends on sponsors for groups of the population to be insured. The sponsor, in some cases a health alliance, acts as an intermediary between the group and competing provider groups (accountable health plans). The competition is price-based among annual premiums for a defined, standardized benefit package. (From Slee and Slee, Health Care Reform Terms, 1993)
