Políticas públicas na área da saúde: notas sobre o planejamento prévio à celebração de contratos de gestão com organizações sociais

Abstract

Partnerships with social organizations, provided for in Federal Law n° 9.637/1998 and governed by Management Contracts, aim to offer an alternative to efficiency, agility, and flexibility in health care. In the publicization decision phase, the Public Administration must carry out technical and legal studies about the partnership's benefits, with a motivated definition about the object of the agreement. In this context, the public manager must value the planning stage of these contracts with the adoption of his own methodologies, as eventual failures in this phase may cause inexplicable results or even a huge waste of public money. The provision of services by social organizations is only justified when it has proven to be more economical than direct execution. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
