The Process of Public Resources Allocation for Investment in Hospital Capacities

Alexandre Marinho

No 121, Discussion Papers from Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada - IPEA

Abstract: This work develops a simple and comprehensive framework to improve the allocation of public resources to public and private hospitals from the standpoint of public hospital profitability in the presence of income inequalities. The paper illustrates the direct impacts that publicly-funded investments in capacity, the adoption of a public market share, the institution of punishments for insufficient supply and the provision of a stochastic reservation quality have on a public hospital’s surplus. The presented framework fits well the enormous Brazilian health system and can be useful in other circumstances and countries where public and private hospitals coexist. O presente trabalho explicita um modelo simples e abrangente, para explorar possibilidades de aprimoramento na alocação de recursos públicos para investimentos em hospitais. Estuda-se a coexistência de hospitais públicos e privados, que devem atender diferentes estratos populacionais segmentados por renda em um mesmo setor saúde, o que possibilita a ocorrência de excessos de demanda. Nesse arcabouço, são explicitados os impactos que a adoção de diferentes políticas de racionalização da oferta podem ter sobre o desempenho econômico dos hospitais públicos. O modelo é aplicável ao sistema de saúde brasileiro e a outros casos e situações semelhantes.
