From policy to reality: clinical managers' views of
the organizational challenges of primary care reform in Portugal .
Abstract
The primary
healthcare reform in Portugal
is based on the development of a new management model
and clinical governance framework. The objective is to strengthen primary
healthcare services to
reduce the inappropriate utilization of secondary and emergency services and
to make efficiency gains and to better control costs. New interventions include
the introduction of a system of production-based incentives for family health units.
This paper presents an initial assessment of the implementation of the new
policies and tries to explain the gap between its expected results and what was
observed in the field 5 years
later. The analysis looked at the dimensions of coverage, productivity,
technical quality, and service quality. It identifies weaknesses in human
resources management (shortages,
incentives, team management) and lack of support from central and
regional management. There is a perceived gap between the
framework for reform as defined by law and the support made available for its
implementation, leading to tensions between decision makers, managers, and healthprofessionals.
