Abstract:

Introduction: In a context of budget constraints and fiscal austerity measures, discussing issues related to the efficient management of public resources is a major challenge. The objective of this study was to evaluate the technical efficiency of municipalities of Santa Catarina in public health expenditures and its relation with health management conditions in the years of 2009 and 2015. Methods: In order to measure efficiency, it was decided to use Data Envelopment Analysis. The G Index was used to analyze the spatial autocorrelation of the efficiency. For the evaluation of the conditions for health management , the model proposed by Calvo et al. (2016) was adopted. Results: Of the total number of municipalities analyzed, 35.5% and 29% were considered efficient, respectively for the years 2009 and 2015. The results suggest that there is no association between the conditions for health management and the results of technical efficiency in the state of Santa Catarina. Conclusion: The study revealed the need to advancing the search for better efficiency results in the state of Santa Catarina, considering the spatial distribution of these results over the territory, focusing on clusters of inefficiency that may explain the poor health performance of some regions of the state.
