| description |
A strategic purchaser seeks to achieve
the necessary correspondence between the needed health care
services and goods (interventions) and the providers. In
order to achieve this matching it is important to define
with precision and in great detail what are the
interventions needed to achieve in the most efficient way
the goals of the purchaser before entering in the
contracting process. The greater the complexity of the
intervention the greater the need to contract with
integrated delivery systems and not with individual
providers. In the absence of integrated delivery systems,
purchasers can provide the coordination of services and
other related managerial activities in order to offer a
continuum of care to the target population. However, this
hands on approach is a heavy burden for purchasers and
ideally this approach should be only transitory in order to
focus on monitoring outcomes rather than micro-managing the
provision of health care services. |
