Abstract:

In Brazil, the right to health is a constitutional guarantee. The phenomena of health litigation is seen as a threat to the equity and sustainability of the health system. To identify and discuss evidence-informed options to address the judicialization of health. The Supporting Policy Relevant Reviews and Trials Tools were used to define the problem and the search strategy, which was carried out in the following databases: PubMed; Health Systems Evidence; Campbell; Cochrane Collaboration; Rx for Change Database and PDQ-Evidence. Selection and assessment of methodological quality was performed by two independent reviewers. The results were presented in a narrative synthesis. Nineteen systematic reviews were ed that pointed out four strategies to address the judicialization of health in Brazil: 1) Rapid response service; 2) Continuous education program; 3) Mediation service between the parties involved; and 4) Adoption of an online (computer-based) decision support tool and patient-mediated interventions. Conclusions: We present and characterize four options that can be considered to address the judicialization of health. The implementation of these options must ensure the participation of different actors, reflecting on different contexts and the impact on the health system. The availability of human and financial resources, in addition to the training of teams, are critical points for the successful implementation of the options.
