Desempenho dos hospitais mineiros no PNASS 2015- 2016: uma análise a partir de clusters de desempenho e perfis de atendimento

Abstract

The Hospitals have undergone major transformations, which involve changes in their role, beyond the technical-scientific dimension. For decades, Hospital Care has been one of the main points of discussion about assistance in the Unified Health System and, in the search for new perspectives for the Brazilian hospital scenario, some strategies are pointed out as a way to induce greater systemic efficiency: including health assessments, which provide vital diagnoses related to the quality of services. In this context, this research aimed to relate the performance of hospitals in Minas Gerais, which participated in the National Program for the Evaluation of Health Services - PNASS 2015/2016, with the variables size, macro-region, management and administrative sphere and, above all, exploring the characteristics related to its hospital and outpatient production, as well as its participation in the context of the Health Care Networks. In addition, an attempt was made to present the location of the evaluated institutions using dot maps, in order to demonstrate the distribution pattern of hospitals within the macro regions of Minas Gerais. Regarding the methodology used, this is a descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study, using secondary data obtained from the PNASS 2015/2016, SIH and SIA databases, which also involves secondary data from deliberations by the Secretariat of Health of the State of Minas Gerais. Statistical analysis was performed using the RStudio 4.1.0 Software, in association with Microsoft Excel 2018, and for georeferencing, the QGIS software was used. The findings pointed to an association between the tested variables and performance and, in particular, there was a relationship between participation in the Health Care Networks with better results, especially in hospitals participating in the thematic networks of Urgency and Emergency and Maternal and Child Health. From the perspective of hospital (approved AIH) and outpatient (procedures in the unified table) production, a similar relationship was identified. Thus, the importance of health assessments and the need to promote an evaluative culture in tertiary care are highlighted and, in this scenario, the contribution of the PNASS as a public evaluation strategy and the importance of analyzing in depth the influence of the institutional profiles on performance.
