Abstract:

This article aims to propose an adaptation of the methodology used by Starfield and Shy (2002) to assess the quality of health care in the municipalities which joined the Program More Doctors. In 2014, municipalities were grouped into three groups according to their scores. As analysis of correlations between different groups of scores of municipalities and health indicators evaluated not were significant, however, the average of the indicators assessed are better in the group of municipalities characterized with the best scores of APS. The indicators have been adapted to each of the eigth criteria proposed in the original methodology and applied to the cities of Porto Alegre metropolitan area that have More Doctors Program. The analysis of correlations between different groups of scores of municipalities and health indicators were not significant, however, the average of the assessed indicators are worse in the group of municipalities characterized with worse scores of Primary Health Care. In relation to income indicators, higher spending per capita on health are associated with the best performance of PHC in these municipalities. The adaptation of this methodology can provide clues to understanding some of the important policy-related determinants of health.
