Strategic Health Purchasing

Context

Strategic health purchasing is about maximizing health outcomes per dollar spent.

JIPA Network works with Ministries of Health, insurers, and TPAs to move beyond passive financing — helping them actively purchase services based on value, quality, and outcomes.

Our purchasing advisory includes provider payment reform, contracting strategy, and care package design. 

The Challenge

Most health systems in the region still rely on fee-for-service payments, leading to inefficiencies and lack of accountability. Major purchasing obstacles include:

Weak alignment between spending and health priorities. 
Inequitable distribution of resources between rural and urban settings. 
Poor visibility into provider performance and outcomes. 
Inability to negotiate or enforce provider contracts. 
Our Approach

JIPA helps transform purchasing through:

  • Benefit Design & Prioritization: We advise on population health-aligned packages.
  • Provider Payment Reform: We design bundled pricing, capitation models, and incentive-based contracts.
  • Contract Negotiation: JIPA handles provider contracting with clauses tied to quality, reporting, and cost.
  • Claims Data Analysis: We analyze trends to shift funds toward high-impact interventions.
  • Technical Training: We support institutional buyers in adopting evidence-based purchasing policies. 
Why JIPA?
As a care coordinator and network manager, we understand pricing from the ground up. JIPA helps buyers get better outcomes — not just more services.
