Abstract: The study aims to summarize the most important aspects in defining the productivity of services, in general, and healthcare, in particular. This research aims to distinguish and detect the main ideas necessary for understanding productivity in healthcare, in order to design the foundation of an econometric model suitable to the studied topics. From the methodological point of view, the documentary material, the studies and the observations on the ideas found in the literature and developments are presented on the main ideas, defining for the productivity in services, with emphasis on intellect-intensity and, of course, keeping a certain chronological order required to reveal the aspects of evolution and development of the ideas; so regarding the development of this article we did not limited ourselves to a simple presentation of the authors, but for an optical doctrinal issues (theoretical concepts and defining ideas) related to topics. Mostly, the research method is the comparative method. For each definitive element of the healthcare pentagon, the main factors and the main effects, resulting from the analysis as adequate to be considered in the modelling, are setup, so as some important parameters, like other effective components for econometric analysis. The research results define the main points of views of the immaterial productivity, applicable in healthcare and available to be used as a theoretical base for a conceptual model as this could be developed and verified through empirical future researches.
