Abstract
This book combines a comprehensive
overview of the Brazilian hospital sector with in-depth
analyses of the key elements of interest in promoting and
ensuring excellence in hospital performance. It does so in
an accessible manner and within the organizational and
financial context of Brazil. Thus, the book can offer
specific recommendations that go to the heart of the
problem, as well as suggest what kinds of approaches work in
that context. The recommendations themselves are based on
what works in Brazil while drawing on international
experiences relevant to the Brazilian context to broaden the
policy options. But the authors go a step further by
providing recommendations on implementation, specifically
highlighting the need to strengthen governance arrangements,
improve accountability, and sharpen resource management.
