Indicadores de desempenho em saúde : reflexão teórica e prática

RESUMO - O presente trabalho aborda a temática da avaliação de desempenho do ponto de vista dos vários intervenientes no sistema de saúde português. Propõe a criação de indicadores de desempenho para um sistema nacional, em que cada patamar tem o seu próprio modelo definido. Estes modelos de organização dos dados são uma forma de concatenar dois dos modelos mais utilizados, o painel de controlo de gestão e o balanced scorecard. Os dados esperados pelo autor levam a concluir pela inexistência de um sistema tal como o proposto. No entanto alguns dos dados existentes são suficientes para iniciar um processo futuro de análise a partir deste trabalho de projecto. -----------------------ABSTRACT - The present essay focuses on the evaluation of performance from the point of view of all the managers in the Portuguese healthcare system.

Measuring social impact: A guideline to implement a tableau de bord

Many impact-seeking organisations cannot measure and demonstrate their social impact because they either lack technical expertise or requisite financial and human resources. This report clarifies the process of social impact measurement to help these organisations engage in social impact measurement practices. It presents a simple guideline to create a measurement approach based on the Tableau de Board. The guideline has been developed through a theoretical revision of best practices in social impact measurement, academic research and the author's individual thoughts and ideas. While a first testing of the approach revealed positive feedback, only future broad-scale testing will demonstrate the approach’s validity and feasibility.
