Descriptor English: Pooling of Funds
Descriptor Spanish: Mancomunación de Fondos
Descriptor mancomunación de fondos
Scope note: Se trata de la acumulación de los ingresos recaudados, a través de pagos adelantados a nombre de una población para eventualmente transferirlo a los proveedores, y gestión de los mismos con el objetivo de asegurar que el riesgo de tener que pagar por los servicios está cubierto para todos los miembros del pool (o pozo común) y no para cada individuo en forma particular. El pool, o fondo común de recursos, es importante para garantizar eficiencia y equidad del sistema de financiamiento ya que no solo permite diluir el riesgo y la contribución esperada de cada miembro (así como disminuyen los costos de transacción en la medida que los fondos se integran); si no que, también, los fondos mancomunados con financiamiento solidario, permiten redistribuir recursos de individuos sanos a enfermos, de jóvenes a adultos mayores y de quienes tienen más a quienes tienen menos. Los impuestos y el tesoro general son una forma de mancomunar recursos en un solo pozo común para la salud. La mancomunación permite combatir la segmentación, al disminuir los costos de transacción y aumentar la eficiencia del sistema de salud. (De: https://bit.ly/2gNLzvf)

Entry term(s): Fund Pooling
Tree number(s): SP1.333.450.201
Scope note: The accumulation of incomes collected, through payments in advance on behalf of a population to eventually transfer it to suppliers, and its management in order to ensure that the risk of having to pay for services is covered for all members of the pool (or common well) and not for each individual in particular form. The pool is important to ensure the efficiency and equity of the financing system as it not only dilutes the risk and the expected contribution of each member (as well as the transaction costs decrease as the funds are integrate); but also, the funds pooled with solidarity financing, allow the redistribution of resources from healthy individuals to sick, from young to old and those who have more to those who have less. Taxes are a way to pool resources into one common well for health. Pooling can combat segmentation by lowering transaction costs and increasing the efficiency of the health system.
