Download or read book Twenty Years of Health System Reform in Brazil written by Michele Gragnolati and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been over twenty years since the Brazilian Sistema Único de Saúde (Unified Health System or SUS) was formally established by the 1988 Constitution. The impetus for the SUS came in part from rising costs and a crisis in the social security system that preceded the reforms, but also from a broad-based political movement calling for democratization and improved social rights. Building on reforms that started in the 1980s, the SUS was based on three overarching principles: (i) universal access to health services, with health defined as a citizen’s right and an obligation of the state; (ii) equality of access to health care; and (iii) integrality (comprehensiveness) and continuity of care; along with several other guiding ideas, including decentralization, increased participation, and evidence-based prioritization. The SUS reform established health a fundamental right and duty of the state, and started a process of fundamentally transforming Brazil’s health system to achieve this goal. So, what has been achieved since the SUS was established? And what challenges remain in achieving the goals that were established in 1988? These questions are the focus of this report. Specifically, it seeks to assess whether the SUS reforms have managed to transform the health system as envisaged more than 20 years ago, and whether the reforms have led to improved outcomes in terms of access to services, financial protection, and health status. Any effort to assess the performance of a health system runs into a host of challenges concerning the definition of boundaries of the “health system”, the outcomes that the assessment should focus on, data sources and quality, and the role of policies and reforms in understanding how the performance of the health system has changed over time. Building on an extensive literature on health system assessment, this report is based on a simple framework that specifies a set of health system “building blocks”, which affect a number of intermediate outcomes such as access, quality and efficiency, which, in turn, contribute to final outcomes, including health status, financial protection, and satisfaction. Based on this framework, the report starts by looking at how key building blocks of Brazil’s health system have changed over time and then moves on to review performance in terms of intermediate and final outcomes.

Download or read book Rumo a uma cobertura universal de saúde e equidade na América Latina e no Caribe written by Tania Dmytraczenko and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nas últimas três décadas, muitos países da América Latina e Caribe reconheceram a saúde como um direito humano. Desde o início dos anos 2000, 46 milhões de pessoas nos países estudados recebem cobertura de programas de saúde com direitos explícitos a atendimento. Essas reformas foram acompanhadas por um aumento do gasto público com saúde, financiado em grande medida pelas receitas gerais que priorizam ou visam explicitamente a população que não tem capacidade de pagamento. O compromisso político em geral se traduziu em orçamentos maiores e na aprovação de legislação que insula recursos para a saúde. Muitos países priorizaram o atendimento de saúde primária com boa relação de custo-benefício e adotaram métodos de pagamento que incentivam a eficiência e a prestação de contas por resultados, proporcionando à s autoridades do setor de saúde mais poder para induzir os prestadores a cumprirem as prioridades de saúde pública. Apesar do progresso, ainda persistem disparidades no financiamento e na prestação de serviços de qualidade entre os subsistemas de saúde. Cumprir o compromisso da cobertura universal de saúde exigirá esforços concertados para melhorar a geração de receitas de formal fiscalmente sustentável e aumentar a produtividade em termos de despesas. Em Rumo a uma Cobertura Universal de Saúde e Equidade na América Latina e Caribe: Evidência de Países Selecionados, os autores mostram que a evidência da análise de 54 pesquisas domiciliares corrobora que os investimentos para ampliar a cobertura de saúde estão gerando resultados. Embora os pobres ainda apresentem resultados de saúde piores que os riscos, as disparidades diminuíram consideravelmente — em particular nos estágios iniciais da vida. Os países alcançaram altos níveis de cobertura e equidade na utilização de serviços de saúde materna e infantil. O quadro tem mais nuanças e não é tão positivo quando se trata da situação de saúde dos adultos e da prevalência de doenças e condições crônicas de saúde. A cobertura para doenças não transmissíveis não é alta e continua a pender mais para os mais abastados. A prevalência de doenças não transmissíveis não ocorreu como esperado, tendo em vista a queda na mortalidade; o melhor acesso a serviços de diagnósticos entre as pessoas mais riscas pode estar mascarando mudanças na prevalência efetiva. Gastos catastróficos com saúde caíram na maior parte dos países. No entanto, o quadro com respeito à equidade é mais misto e indica limitações na medição. Embora a taxa de empobrecimento em razão de gastos com saúde seja baixa ou em declínio, 2 a 4 milhões de pessoas nos países estudados ainda ficam abaixo da linha da pobreza em razões de gastos com saúde. Esforços de monitoramento sistemático da qualidade do atendimento de saúde na região são ainda incipientes. No entanto, a análise da literatura revela deficiências importantes na qualidade da saúde, bem como diferenças substanciais entre os subsistemas. Melhorar a qualidade do atendimento e garantir a sustentabilidade dos investimentos em saúde continuam a ser itens pendentes da agenda.

This book was released on 2000-04-01 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Em especial nas últimas duas décadas tem-se assistido ao incremento de esforços por parte de alguns países no sentido de melhorar a qualidade dos serviços de saúde para as suas populações cada vez mais multiculturais. Contudo, continuam a observar-se diferenças entre grupos étnicos no que diz respeito a padrões de saúde e condições de acesso aos serviços disponíveis. Um relatório recente da Organização Mundial para as Migrações (IOM, 2005) alerta para a necessidade de se adoptar na Europa políticas de saúde integradoras e “culturalmente sensíveis”. Isto é, políticas que visem o desenvolvimento e prestação de serviços de saúde sensíveis ao background social, cultural e religioso dos utentes. Como é defendido no mesmo relatório, este tipo de abordagem assume-se fundamental numa Europa cada vez mais multicultural e mais dependente de uma força de trabalho estrangeira activa e saudável. Em linhas gerais, têm vindo a ser defendidas dois tipos de abordagens no que respeita à promoção de políticas e do acesso dos imigrantes aos serviços de saúde. A primeira tem vindo a assumir uma ideologia “assimilacionista”, ou seja, é defendida a adaptação dos imigrantes aos cuidados de saúde existentes na sociedade de acolhimento. Já a segunda abordagem assume uma posição “multiculturalista” que defende a implementação de serviços adaptados às necessidades dos utentes de acordo com uma perspectiva sensível às diferenças culturais. Um exemplo deste segundo tipo de abordagem é o caso da Holanda, onde foram criados serviços específicos para imigrantes, entre eles, um centro para a promoção de conhecimento sobre a saúde imigrante com “mediadores culturais”. Neste âmbito, este trabalho procurou, a partir de estudos de caso de imigrantes cabo-verdianos, analisar os serviços de saúde da Holanda. Para este efeito, foram analisadas as perspectivas dos cabo-verdianos relativamente às características que definem um bom médico, assim como as suas expectativas e experiências com profissionais de saúde na Holanda. Ainda que o caso holandês seja um exemplo de uma abordagem “multiculturalista”, no trabalho de terreno identificaram-se três barreiras no acesso de imigrantes aos cuidados de saúde: a falta de informação sobre os serviços de saúde disponíveis; problemas de relação entre utentes de origem imigrante e os profissionais de saúde; e, finalmente, dificuldades sentidas pelos os utentes imigrantes em lidar com a condicionalidade da ajuda prestada. Estes problemas encontram-se profundamente interligados e estão relacionados com dois tipos de factores. Ao nível macro, estes incluem características organizacionais e estruturais do sistema de saúde holandês. Ao nível micro, os problemas encontrados derivam do desfasamento de expectativas entre caboverdianos e profissionais de saúde relativamente à forma pela qual os cuidados de saúde são prestados. Apesar das barreiras encontradas, os cabo-verdianos não poupam esforços para beneficiar de boa saúde, colocando em prática duas estratégias com o objectivo de aceder a cuidados de saúde de boa qualidade. Por um lado, os cabo-verdianos tentam adaptar o seu comportamento enquanto utentes dos serviços (help-seeking behaviour) ao modelo prevalecente na Holanda. Por outro lado, recorrem ao uso de cuidados de saúde transnacionais noutros países da Europa, incluindo Portugal e França. Estas estratégias corroboram a perseverança dos cabo-verdianos em encontrar os cuidados de saúde que melhor se adequam às suas necessidades.

This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses dignity in the organizational context. Combining diverse theoretical and methodological approaches, as well as empirical studies, this book examines the concept of dignity between organizations and a variety of stakeholders. Going beyond the traditional approach of the relationship between company and employees, and beyond the traditional perspective of human dignity in a Kantian or post-Kantian approach, this volume innovates by discussing dignity from different epistemic perspectives, bringing to the fore dignity, inserted in different organizational and cultural contexts. The volume is divided into five parts. The first part is dedicated to the concept of dignity in the organizational sphere (dignity inside organizations, dignity between organizations and their stakeholders, and dignity in business-to-business relationships) discussed under different epistemic approaches. The second part deals with dignity in the relationships between companies and employees. The third part deals with the relationship between companies and clients. The fourth part of the book studies business-to-business relationships, addressing the educational sector, restaurants, and microcredit. Finally, the fifth part focuses on the relationships between the organizational dignity construct and other constructs, such as stress, spirituality and trust. Opening new theoretical and methodological perspectives for the study of dignity, this book will be of use to researchers and students studying management, leadership, and business strategy, as well as management and HR professionals.

Download or read book Health Networks in Action written by Pinto, Diana M. and published by Inter-American Development Bank. This book was released on 2020-09-14 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated Health Service Delivery Networks (IHSDN) based on primary health care (PHC) are the most promising solution for health systems to satisfy the health needs of the population and to address access, efficiency, quality and equity challenges faced by health systems of the world. PHCs essential attributes (people and family centered care, comprehensiveness, continuity, longitudinality) position this approach as one of the key strategies for countries to meet the aspiration of achieving universal health coverage. Creating care networks has been a common thread running through Latin America and the Caribbeans health policy agendas. In terms of actually putting the IHSDN model in action, there is a wide range of interpretations and experiences, with designs, scales, organizational methods, and maturity levels that vary within and between countries. This book shares evidence of the progress made in forming and launching IHSDN in Latin America based on four case studies conducted in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. The results were found by systematically applying an instrument that collects regional information on the context and features of the IHSDNs governance, funding, care models, and IHSDN management models. The books chapters describe the characteristics of IHSDN in the four studied countries, lessons are drawn from how these IHSDN have been designed and implemented, challenges for the future are identified and recommendations are provided on what will it take to consolidate the IHSDN model in Latin America. The hypothetical story of Dioselina, illustrates throughout the book the obstacles and difficulties that arise for a diabetic patient when using health services that are not people-centered. The results shed light on how prepared IHSDN in this region are to provide patient-centered care and where to focus efforts for improvement. The evidence found in this study will help develop and advance PHC in Latin America.
