Resumo(s)
Ao longo dos anos, em Portugal, as sucessivas reformas na gestão hospitalar acompanharam
as transformações dos modelos de administração pública na tentativa de conseguir uma maior
eficiência dos serviços, contribuindo para uma redução dos desperdícios e para a
sustentabilidade do setor da saúde. Deste modo, foi estabelecida uma relação de proximidade
da gestão dos hospitais do Serviço Nacional de Saúde ao setor privado, através da adoção de
práticas empresariais nos hospitais públicos e do estabelecimento de relações com o setor
privado, das quais se destacam as parcerias público-privadas hospitalares.
O presente estudo teve como objetivo comparar o comportamento, em termos de eficiência
técnica e produtividade, da gestão nas unidades hospitalares do setor público, em regime
E.P.E. e PPP, entre os anos 2013 e 2017. De forma complementar, procedeu-se à análise de
indicadores de qualidade nos hospitais que apresentaram maiores diferenciais nos scores de
eficiência, na análise por grupo de financiamento. Metodologicamente, recorreu-se à técnica
Data Envelopment Analisys (DEA) para apurar os resultados de eficiência técnica, ao índice
de Malmquist para determinar os resultados de produtividade e a entrevistas semiestruturadas,
analisadas com recurso à análise de conteúdo para avaliar a perceção dos entrevistados
relativamente aos motivos que influenciam a relação entre eficiência e qualidade
Como principais resultados, verificou-se que: i) a média dos scores de eficiência émais
elevada nas unidades hospitalares em regime PPP. ii) os hospitais PPP apresentaram um
maior crescimento da produtividade do que os hospitais E.P.E..; iii) os hospitais PPP, criados
em regime de substituição, revelaram ser mais produtivos do que eram previamente à
introdução da parceira; iv) os hospitais mais produtivos não são os que apresentam melhores
indicadores de qualidade. Como principal conclusão, de acordo com os resultados obtidos,
verifica-se que existe uma tendência de melhores resultados de eficiência e produtividade nos
hospitais em regime de PPP.
Successive reforms in hospital management in Portugal have sought to follow the transformations of public administration models to increase the efficiency of health care delivery services. This way, the reduction of waste and the guarantee of the sustainability of the health sector were both expected. Thus, a close relationship between the management of public hospitals and the private sector was established, through the adoption of business practices by the former (by creating corporatized hospitals, EPE) and the establishment of the so-called public-private partnerships (PPP). This study compared the technical efficiency and productivity of the two groups of public hospital units, i.e. EPE and PPP, between 2013 and 2017. In addition, the study analysed quality indicators in hospitals that presented the greatest differentials in efficiency levels, based on the analysis by financing group. Methodologically, the study used the Data Envelopment Analysis model to estimate the technical efficiency levels associated with those hospital groups, (b) the Malmquist index to scrutinise the evolution of productivity, and, finally, (c) semi-structured interviews and content analysis to evaluate the interviewees' perception about the reasons underlying the relationship between efficiency and quality. PPP hospitals (i) are, on average, more efficient than EPE units, (ii) exhibited higher productivity growth compared to hospitals in the corporate public sector, and (iii) replacement PPP hospitals proved to be more productive than they were prior to the introduction of the partnership. In addition, it should be noted that the most productive hospitals are not necessarily those ones with the best quality indicators. According to the achieved results, one may conclude that there is a trend towards higher efficiency and productivity levels in PPP hospitals.
