Abstract

This study aims to analyze the efficiency of public spending on health in the state of Ceará in Microregion Baturité in the period 2006 to 2010. To this end, we used the database system Public Health Budget (SIOPS) and indicators of the program by Covenant Health, prioritized and monitored by the Municipal Health, intercropped with tool use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with constant returns to scale-oriented products with raw material as per capita spending and as products of the indicators: coverage rate by the Family Health Program (PSF), proportion of live births to mothers with more than 4 or more queries antenatal (prenatal) and rate of hospitalization for stroke (CVA), service rate by accident with diabetes (diabetes) and rate of hospitalization (inttx) and rate of children under 05 years with low weight (weight). The study shows Guaramiranga with increased spending between 2008 and 2010 without, however, present significant variation in the indicators in relation to other units. The PC is markedly higher spending other unit in the entire period (2006 to 2010). It has the worst scores of overall efficiency and recovery in 2010 although it has never reached the efficiency frontier. In the five years observed (2006-2010), the unit package and Baturité were four times the efficiency frontier, Itapiúna, Capistrano and Mulungu 2 times Araçoiaba a time. Aratubaand Guaramiranga did not reach the efficiency frontier in any year noted. The wide variation in per capita spending associated with the small variation of the corresponding indicators among the units studied points to a low standardization of procedure and highlights the need to broaden the selection of indicators for health managers, seeks to include the major actions of five blocks funding created that defines the cost of health, to enable better monitoring of management and unit performance.
