Resumo(s)
This project focuses on creating an observatory for Portugal's Local Health Units (LHU) to
develop a health index measuring key performance metrics. The index evaluates the
performance of 24 LHUs over the first two quarters of 2024, offering critical insights into
efficiency and financing, quality, and access within the Portuguese NHS. Using a Differences in-Differences methodology, it assesses the impact of vertically integrating primary and hospital
care, finding no short-run effects on performance in the analyzed dimensions. By supporting
resource allocation and service improvements through data-driven decision-making, the
observatory provides a foundation for improving healthcare integration, sustainability, and
patient-centered outcomes.
