Perspectivas da avaliação na Política Nacional de Humanização em Saúde: aspectos conceituais e metodológicos

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to prompt discussions of the perspectives of the Evaluation of Brazil's National Health Humanization Policy being implemented by the Ministry of Health (PNH/HumanizaSUS). It strives to systemize some Health Evaluation benchmarks, distinguishing two key aspects of this evaluation: one examines methodologies for the definition of Humanization actions monitoring indicators; the other analyzes evaluatory surveys measuring the impacts of these actions. Both aspects were scored, highlighting specific characteristics that must be recognized in the approach and use of evaluation methodologies under the aegis of this Policy. In order to strengthen such specific characteristics and approach perspectives, it explores the extent and complexity of the tools and actions proposed in the field covered by this Policy, while also offering an brief review of the concepts and components encompassed by the Monitoring and Evaluation area.

O papel da avaliação para a tomada de decisão na gestão de serviços de saúde

Abstract: The management of health services is a complex administrative practice due to the breadth of the field of health and the need to reconcile individual, corporate and collective interests that are not always convergent. In this context, the evaluation needs to have specific characteristics in order to fulfill its role. The scope of this study was to establish the characteristics that the evaluation for the management of health services should have to contribute to decision-making. Usefulness, opportunity, feasibility, reliability, objectivity and directionality represent the set of principles upon which the evaluation should be based. Evaluations should lead to decisions that guarantee not only their efficiency and effectiveness but also their implementation. The evaluation process should ensure that decisions involve all stakeholders in order to render the implementation of decisions feasible, and take into account the health needs of the population and the goals set for the services. The scope of this article is to elicit a debate among different stakeholders in the evaluation in the hope that it can contribute to the reflection on the real usefulness of evaluations in which the political component in management has been increasingly prevalent.
