| dc.description.abstract | The Local Health Unit (ULS) model is operating in Portugal since 1999 and is being generalized. Hospital care is the subject of much controversy, particularly in emergency services. We developed a study to understand if this new model has been more efficient than the standard model regarding hospital care. We performed a stochastic frontier analysis with data from 4 years, showing that the fact of being an ULS has not been significant for the efficiency of health units and proving that if quantity outputs are used, efficiency scores can be obtained at the expense of quality. | pt_PT |
