Métodos de custeio no setor público: Um estudo sobre como as informações de custos atendem aos diversos stakeholders de um hospital universitário público

O setor de saúde pública convive com uma constante escassez de recursos combinada com uma necessidade crescente de investimentos em tecnologia e inovação. Portanto, é necessário que os gestores públicos de saúde busquem maneiras de maximizar o uso destes recursos orçamentários escassos. Uma das alternativas é implementar estudos sobre custos, que possibilitem ao gestor exercer o controle, o combate ao desperdício e o planejamento dos investimentos futuros. No entanto, na área governamental, existem outros grupos, além do gestor, que têm interesse em conhecer as informações de custos do setor de saúde. Esses grupos são chamados pela teoria da administração de Stakeholders. Cada stakeholder, tais como médicos, pacientes, fornecedores, sociedade entre outros podem demandar informações distintas de custos. Por este motivo, o objetivo deste trabalho é investigar qual o método de custeio que melhor se adequa as necessidades dos diferentes stakeholders de um hospital público. Para tanto, elaborou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica que abordasse os métodos de custeio por absorção, custeio variável e custeio baseado em atividades, que são os métodos mais debatidos pela literatura contábil. Dessa forma, com objetivo de responder a questão de pesquisa, o presente trabalho desenvolve um cenário hipotético de um hospital universitário público, no qual estão identificados os seus stakeholders e suas respectivas necessidades de informações de custo. Como resultado das análises, observa-se que cada um destes stakeholders apresenta um método de custeio, ou uma combinação de dois destes, que melhor se adequa as suas necessidades de informação de custos.
