What are the benefits and limitations of using contracts for health care service delivery? What steps are key to good contract management? This guide by John Snow Inc. provides a short overview for healthcare policy makers of the benefits and limitations of contracting, focussing on performance-based contracting, and describes the steps that are key for good contract management. Contracting can only succeed if prerequisite conditions relating to political and legislative context and the public sector’s capacity to manage the process exist.
