 AB    Given sufficient and participatory planning, a cluster of excellence for
       HIV/AIDS could be designed that could yield benefits to payers,
       providers, and patients. Such a cluster of excellence would be at risk
       for all care provided to an enrollment population made up of PWAs and
       would be globally capitated based upon the average cost of providing
       care to this population in the current, unmanaged health care
       environment. The cluster would be freed from conventional use
       constraints and be free to manage the care of their enrollment
       population with minimal payer interference. But it would be at risk for
       managing the cost of care to the enrollees within the global capitation
       rate.
