Abstract(s)
As unidades de saúde são uma parte importante e estruturante da sociedade
portuguesa. Nelas, são investidos milhões de euros anualmente, com o intuito de dar a
melhor resposta no menor tempo possível. Para tal, é necessário garantir boa
capacidade de resposta e qualidade na mesma, com a finalidade de satisfazer as
necessidades de quem procura esse serviço. São organizações que possuem um elevado
número de recursos humanos e o uso recorrente a tecnologia de última geração e, por
isso, têm de ter sempre em consideração o princípio económico.
Neste estudo procura-se obter evidência empírica sobre os determinantes da
performance financeira das unidades de saúde portuguesas para o período 2014-2022.
Utilizando modelos de dados em painel com efeitos fixos, mostra-se que a dimensão, os
níveis de tesouraria e investimento aumentam a performance financeira das unidades
de saúde. Por outro lado, a idade e os níveis de endividamento contribuem para um
decréscimo da performance financeira das unidades de saúde. Verifica-se que os
determinantes da performance financeira dependem da natureza do detentor do
capital, variando consideravelmente entre organizações públicas e privadas. No
entanto, independentemente de ser pública ou privada, o período da pandemia Covid19 contribui significativamente para uma menor performance financeira das unidades
de saúde portuguesas.
Healthcare facilities are an important and structural part of Portuguese society. Thousands of euros are invested in them every year, with the aim of to provide the best response in the shortest possible time. To do this, it is necessary to ensure good response capacity and quality, in order to meet the needs of those seeking this service. These are organizations that have a large number of human resources and recurrent use of best technology and therefore always have to take the economic principle into account. This study seeks to obtain empirical evidence on the determinants of the financial performance of Portuguese healthcare units for the period 2014-2022. Using panel data models with fixed effects, it is shown that the size, treasury levels and financial performance of healthcare facilities increases. On the other hand, age and reduced debt levels lead to a decrease in the financial performance of health units. It should be noted that the determinants of financial performance depend on the nature of the capital holders, varying considerably between public and private organizations. However, regardless of whether it is public or private, the period of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly contributes to a lower financial performance of Portuguese health units.
