Governança colaborativa para pesquisa em saúde: implicações da análise do programa pesquisa do Sistema Único de Saúde

Abstract

This research seeks to analyze collaborative governance in the scope of the Research Program for SUS: Shared Health Management (PPSUS), in three selected Brazilian states (Minas Gerais, Paraná e Sergipe), between the years 2002 and 2016, based on the theoretical model of Ansell and Gash (2008). To achieve this objective, the study uses a qualitative method, case study procedures, as well as data collection through documentary analysis and field interviews in the three selected states. It concludes that the process of collaborative governance within the scope of the PPSUS in the three analyzed states occurs in an incomplete way, despite the collaborative design of the program and the existence of joint decisions. The implementation of actions is limited by the resources, knowledge, and processes available in each organization participating in the Program. This means that these elements strongly influence the collaborative process, a finding from which it is proposed to include in the model a category called “intraorganizational management capacity”.
