Abstract:

Even though it is unanimous, in the speech of administrators, that the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) is underfinanced, it is also unanimous the fact that there are problems in the efficiency of expenditures management. From this perspective, this study assessed the technical efficiency in health care of the seven cities in Rota dos Bandeirantes health zone of the state of São Paulo, SP, Brazil,2009 to 2012, through the Technical Efficiency Ratio in Health Care. This index is composed by structural and results indicators, mainlythe system of goals and indicators agreement, and collectedthe database of the SUS Informatics Department. It was identified that the only city that reached high technical efficiency in health care was Barueri, while the other cities presented low efficiency. It was concluded that cities with higher available income and higher per capita expenditures in the region achieved the best health indicator results, and therefore, better technical efficiency ratio in health care. However, some cities, even though small in structure, obtained better results than neighboring cities, which shows management efficiency. Thus, the resource represented an essential condition for efficiency, however not sufficient.
