Abstract:

The principles and guidelines of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) impose a structure of healthcare services based on public policies networks, which combined to the financing model adopted, leads to market failures; imposing barriers to the management of the public health system and enactment of SUS objectives. The institutional characteristics and the heterogeneity of players, allied to the existence of different health assistance approaches, generate an analytical complexity to the study of the global dynamics of SUS networks. There are limitations to the use of quantitative methods based on static analysis on retrospective data of SUS. Thus, it is proposed an approach based on complex systems for SUS, using an innovative quantitative methodology based on computational simulation. The paper analyzes challenges and possibilities of the combined application of cellular automata modeling and agent based modeling for simulation of the evolution in SUS healthcare services networks. Such approach allows better understanding of the organization, heterogeneity and structural dynamics from SUS network and permits a minimization of market failures effects on the operationalization of the national health system.
