title: Partner risk: the hidden threat of capitated provider networks.
abstract: As provider networks align risk-sharing incentives, they must avoid partner risks that could pose a threat to the network. Partner risk results when actions taken by one or more partners in a network threaten to adversely affect other partners in the network. Such risk can arise from the way partners manage cost drivers under capitation or through passing risk to one another.
