Abstract:

This article presents the traditional ways of allocating resources to providers of health services and focuses on the presentation and discussion of alternative experiences found in the international context. It also points to the current trends made in the OECD countries, involving the adoption of mixed systems or supplemented by performance, which is predominantly referred to the results on the health of the population, ie the effectiveness of health services. Still, there is a tendency to adopt resource allocation systems that are differentiated according to the level of care provider: to primary care centers, responsible for the health of the population of a given territory, correspond a per capita adjusted for risk value (or, in some cases, resource allocation defined for lines of care), while in some cases hospitals are paid through performance-adjusted global budget, and others through prospective payment.
