Hi!
My sentence says:
Introducing and sustaining improvements to primary care’s gatekeeping role and attending to other aspects of the cancer care pathway might achieve greater gains and might be a better investment of resources than incentivization.

I see this definition for gatekeeping:
Primary care gatekeeping, in which the goal of the primary care physician (PCP) is to reduce patient referrals to specialists and thereby reduce costs, is not an adequate system in which to practice medicine.

I think it's better to avoid a more literal translation like "portero" and instead explain what gatekeeping actually means in this context.


Or is your question "primary care's gatekeeing role"? That requires a different solution.

agree  Chema Nieto Castañón: Tienes toda la razón. Y sin embargo creo que el OP pregunta, tal y como señalas, por primary care's gatekeeping role... En el propio enlace de WR se menciona de pasada la idea de "puerta de entrada" en referencia a la AP... Saludos.

neutral  Chema Nieto Castañón: La definición del OP hace referencia específica al papel de AP como puerta de entrada a la atención especializada. Nada que ver en realidad con el triaje previo a la propia atención.

primary care gatekeeping role
papel/rol de atención primaria como puerta de entrada [al sistema sanitario]


Explanation:
La atención primaria cumple una función básica en tanto que puerta de entrada al sistema sanitario, y específicamente es la responsable del flujo de derivaciones a atención especializada. En España al menos las referencias a "puerta de entrada", en tanto que función o papel de atención primaria, son completamente familiares.
