Resumo(s)
The high demand for quality healthcare services in Portugal is generating concerns about meeting the optimum
number of healthcare professionals in the private sector such as doctors and clinicians. Critical interventions are currently
in progress aiming to provide quality healthcare that will be accessible and sustainable through actionable retention
strategies such as investing and developing the human capital, introducing better conditions of service to attract and retain
talent in the private healthcare sector, and prioritizing the needs of patients. The objective of this study is to understand
which factors promote the migration of physicians from the public to the private sector according to the theoretical
assumptions of incentives. In this context, a phenomenological study was carried out, using semi-structured interviews of
fifteen physicians working in the private health network. Content analysis was done using NVivo 12. The results indicate
that performance evaluation in the private sector exists but has no alignment with incentives. The condition makes the
private healthcare sector unattractive, however, other policies of remuneration remain promising. Current proposals that
could revive the image of the sector include collective decision-making and strong labour relations advocacy for
physicians in the private sector.
