Public-private partnership organizations in health care: cooperative strategies and models.
Value-adding partnerships have emerged as a preferred strategy of private health care providers to achieve high-quality, low-cost provider status. This same strategy can be applied by public sector providers through the creation of public-private partnership organizations (3POs). Strategies to build 3POs between local governments and their medical communities currently under development are outlined. The conceptual and practical aspects of implementing 3POs are presented.
