Service Delivery Channels
Franchise facilities External providers operating out of their own facilities (may be private, public, or NGO) on an on-going basis (may be via regular clinic hours or specified days or hours when the service is offered -- either way, consumers have on-going access to the service via this channel). 

A PSI social franchise encompasses a network of health practitioners linked through contractual agreements to provide socially beneficial services of a specified quality under a common brand. In order to be considered a PSI social franchise, the following criteria must be met:
  1. Outlets are 'owner-operated' (1)
  2. Payments to outlets are primarily based on services provided (2)
  3. Services are standardized (e.g follow standard operating procedures meeting PSI quality standards). 
  4. Clinical services are offered, with or without franchise-branded commodities (3,4)
  5. Network is branded (i.e. there is a brand associated with the network and outlets operating as franchisees are affiliated with that brand). 

Only services that PSI is significantly involved in, as per PSI's policy on service delivery through partners, can be reported.

Notes:
1 “Owner-operated” means that the outlet (i.e. franchisee) operates independently of PSI.  Owner-operated facilities may include those operating in the private, public, or NGO sector.

2 The mechanism of payment may vary and may include client out-of-pocket, voucher, third party insurance or other systems.

3 Additional, non-franchised products and services may also be offered.

4 Clinical services are defined as any healthcare practice that would, in an OECD country, require service by a nurse or other higher-level provider. Under this definition, for example, injections are considered clinical, even if franchise-supported community health workers or pharmacists provide them.
