Um modelo de quatro quadrantes para a determinação da oferta e da demanda de internações hospitalares

Abstract

In this paper a particular model is developed and used to explain the outcome of hospital mortality rate and quantity of inpatient care in hospital care markets. The model focuses on the Brazilian National Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS) but it may be helpful in portraying a broad range of health systems. The effects of movements in underlying factors that may cause shifts in both demand and supply are readily predictable.
