Public Health of Secretariat, BrazilTitle: Efficiency of health expenditures in primary care in the Unified Health System - SUS
Abstract
The management of financial resources in the Unified Health System (SUS) primary care in Brazil has been increasingly challenging for municipal managers, mainly, due to the new ways of resource allocation instituted by the federal government in the last five years. This scenario, which refers to the analysis of the management of financial resources in the context of allocative efficiency (AE), has motivated this research with the aim of subsidizing the management of Primary Health Care – PHC. The research was structured under three approaches: (a) efficiency related to financing and public health expenditures; (b) efficiency related to the provision of health services/programs in PHC; (c) the relation between efficiency in funding/spending and efficiency in service delivery in PHC. The results showed that the resource efficiency in health can be analyzed by: (a) the structure and the result indicators, (b) municipal health program cost estimates, (c) the producing information on costs as an input for management and financing of the Unified Health System (SUS). The studies demonstrated greater efficiency related to financing and health expenditures; however, they did not show equivalent efficiency in the results of the actions and services provided to achieve benefits for better health of the population.
