Diseño de un modelo de valuación de costos hospitalarios : estudio de caso y aplicación en el Hospital Zonal Bariloche "Dr. Ramón Carrillo"

Abstract

This thesis starts from the principle that health is a right that must be guaranteed by the State. For rights guarantee issues, of equity and positive health externalities, the State intervenes either as a direct provider or as a regulator, or offering information. In the three subsectors that make up the Argentine health system –m the public, the private sector and the social security sector – various actors participate with different objectives and bargaining power in the provision, financing and regulation of health services. Furthermore, in Argentina the three levels of government intervene in health policies to a greater or lesser degree. This fragmentation of the health system makes it difficult to coordinate health policies and manage resources. It is intended to contribute to the generation of missing information to achieve greater efficiency in budget management and better use of scarce resources.
