%0 Journal Article %T Diseño y reforma del Plan Obligatorio de Salud en Colombia. %D 2012 %@ 2256 - 4128 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10906/81393 %X The way a benefits package is implemented in a health system is as important as its content. This article focuses on the way a package is designed and implemented, rather than on its medical content. It starts by defining the packages and presenting the different ways of designing them, and the implications of the latter on equity and access. Some international experiences are presented and commented, with special emphasis on recent reforms in Chile and México. The concepts and cases presented in the paper are then discussed in the Colombian context in order to identify relevant lessons and insights for the current process of reforming and updating the Colombian benefits package. %K Seguridad social - Colombia %K Servicios de salud - Colombia %K Plan obligatorio de salud - P.O.S. %K Reforma del sistema de salud %K Health System %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
