Administração do hospital municipal

Abstract

This study investigates the differences between the management of a hospital by the municipality and another by a private entity, focusing on financial performance, operational efficiency, and service quality. The results show that although private management can improve efficiency and reduce costs, it may face significant challenges in terms of transparency and data integration. In contrast, public management, despite showing lower results, offers greater transparency in healthcare services, which implies possibilities related to budget adjustments in the medium and high complexity care sector of the Unified Health System. This study recommends a deeper evaluation of hybrid models that combine the operational efficiency of private management with the transparency and accountability of public management. The goal is to enhance the quality of hospital care and financial sustainability, promoting better practices in both management modalities.
