%0 Journal Article %T Modelos de contratación, evidencia científica y posibles opciones para Colombia %D 2013 %@ 2256-4128 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10906/81395 %X This paper summarizes the international evidence on payment modalities for health services and taking into account the specificities of the Colombian context and the regulatory framework of the country (Social Security System in Health-SGSSS) issues some recommendations that can be implemented in the short and medium term by Entidades Promotoras de Salud (Health Promotion Entities). It is found that in Colombia the most popular payment mechanisms are those that have been identified in the literature as worst regarding economic incentives. Given the SGSSS there is ample room to experiment and implement with payment modalities that combine different single mechanisms. This could minimize the risks of each single system and potentiate its advantages. %K Sistema general de seguridad social en salud %K Empresas Promotoras de Salud %K Contratos - Colombia %K Servicios de salud %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
