Un modelo de programación por metas para la elaboración del contrato-programa de un hospital público

[ES] Proponemos un modelo de programación por metas para la estimación del plan de producción (case-mix) que debe reflejarse en el Contrato–Programa que suscriben anualmente los Hospitales Públicos y la Administración. Las variables de decisión son los volúmenes de actividad de cada servicio médico del hospital y los atributos son los indicadores básicos que se manejan al elaborar el Contrato-Programa: fi nanciación, número de altas, estancia media y peso de complejidad. Para resolver nuestro modelo empleamos la herramienta SOLVER de la hoja de cálculo EXCEL. La utilización de esta herramienta permite simular varios escenarios de una manera ágil, lo que es de gran ayuda para el estudio y discusión de las cantidades a contratar entre el Hospital y la Administración. El artículo finaliza con una breve presentación de los resultados obtenidos al aplicar nuestro modelo a un hospital de tamaño medio (118 camas) del Servicio Vasco de Salud.

A eficácia dos contratos-programa no setor público da saúde na região Norte de Portugal

Em Portugal o sistema de saúde assume uma importante função no desenvolvimento económico e social, na medida em que os serviços prestados pelo mesmo influenciam não só o bem-estar social como também a produtividade. O processo de contratualização alia-se ao setor público da saúde através do contrato-programa, o qual pretende estabelecer uma estratégia a seguir. O presente trabalho pretende verificar se o setor público da saúde respeita os princípios de economia, eficiência e eficácia, de um modo geral, pretende-se perceber se os contratos-programa são cumpridos na sua totalidade. Para tal procedeu-se à recolha da informação descrita nos relatórios de gestão dos quinze Hospitais que pertencem à Administração Regional de Saúde do Norte. A incerteza relacionada com os contratos-programa, a não existência de um modelo linear para a divulgação pública dos resultados no âmbito do contrato-programa, e ainda o facto de a totalidade das entidades não ser obrigada a emitir essa publicação, conduz à possibilidade de que não estejam a ser cumpridos os princípios da economia, eficácia e eficiência.

The State contracted with six managed care organizations to deliver Medicaid managed care at an annual cost of $2.7 billion, representing 10% of the State’s annual budget, to 750,000 Medicaid beneficiaries in South Carolina. This review’s scope and objectives were: Test the six MCOs’ compliance and effective execution of the SCDHHS’s managed care contract “Section 11 - Program Integrity” focusing on the operational components of pre-payment review and post-payment review. Identify opportunities to improve SCDHHS’s biennial managed care contract, contract monitoring, and MCO compliance and effective execution of the contract.

Success factors in an alliancing contract : a case study in Australia

Many studies have been carried out in relation to construction procurement methods. Evidence shows that there needs to be a change of culture and attitude in the construction industry, moving away from traditional adversarial relationship into cooperative and collaborative relationship. At the same time there is also an increasing concern and discussion on alternative procurement methods, drifting away from traditional procurement systems. Relational contracting approaches have become more popular in recent years, and have appeared in common forms such as partnering, alliancing and relationship management contracts. This paper reports the findings of a survey undertaken with a private organisation based on an alliance project during its design stage, identifying the critical factors that influence the success of the alliance project. Legal aspects focusing on dispute resolution in alliancing are also highlighted.
