Final considerations: the best way to prevent human error is to know the probability of its occurrence, as well as knowing typifies them, and relate its causes and consequences. Keywords: Patient safety. Medical erros. Health services.

This chapter looks at the topic of health services quality from a commissioning and whole population perspective. Quality is noted to be a multidimensional concept and dimensions of quality are considered. The role of the commissioner in maintaining and improving quality of services is explored, and this is seen within a wider backdrop of a health system with commissioner and provider functions (if there are such distinctions in the system). Commissioners need to know whether they are securing quality care for their population for the money spent. They also need an understanding of how this dovetails with the provider perspective on this topic. Commissioners also need to be able to articulate what they wish to assess in practice under the guise of quality. Finally, at a system level there are also bearings on how to compile and interpret a picture of a population’s health if needed.

O presente estudo propôs a realização de uma revisão bibliográfica com critérios de busca e seleção utilizadas pela revisão sistemática, tendo como principal objetivo a identificação dos efeitos oriundos do processo de terceirização no setor de gerenciamento dos serviços de saúde. Este, por sua vez, respaldou-se em estudos que versam a respeito da temática abordada, publicados nas bases de dados MEDLINE e SciELO, onde passaram por um processo de seleção, resultando num acervo de 15 artigos. Dentre os resultados encontrados pôde-se observar que a evolução do processo de terceirização trouxe benefícios de suma relevância para o âmbito da saúde, principalmente no que concerne à redução dos custos orçamentais de diversas unidades de saúde, favorecendo o acesso aos usuários dos serviços da saúde, e consequentemente promovendo uma melhoria na qualidade dos atendimentos a essa clientela. No entanto, alguns estudos mostraram algumas falhas no setor administrativo que levaram ao surgimento de sérios problemas no âmbito financeiro. Portanto, é imprescindível que haja a instituição de medidas preventivas e de monitoramento direcionadas ao processo, a fim de se evitar futuros contratempos. THE OUTSOURCING PROCESS CONSEQUENCES FOR MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES SECTOR ABSTRACT The present study proposed the accomplishment of a bibliographic review with search and selection criteria used by the systematic review, having as main objective the identification of the effects arising from the process of outsourcing in the health services management sector. This was supported by studies on the subject, published in the MEDLINE and SciELO databases, where they underwent a selection process, resulting in a collection of 15 articles. Among the results found, it was observed that the evolution of the outsourcing process brought benefits of great relevance to the health field, mainly in relation to the reduction of the budgetary costs of several health units, favoring access to the users of health services and consequently promoting an improvement in the quality of care to this population. However, some studies have shown some flaws in the administrative sector that have led to the emergence of serious financial problems. Therefore, it is essential that preventive and monitoring measures be taken in order to avoid future setbacks.

One of the benchmarks for assessing service performance in hospitals is efficiency in medical services. Measurement of service  efficiency will affect the quality of the hospital. Patients will consider the completeness of the service facilities they have and the quality of services to be obtained. This is due to the tendency of people to seek quality health services. Improving service quality standards in hospitals will have an impact on increasing income and getting recognition from the community for the quality of services in hospitals. This study aims to look at the determinant factors that affect hospital efficiency. This study uses a systematic review method based on the PRISMA protocol. Article searches were conducted through four online databases (PubMed, ProQuest, SAGE and SpingerLink). The initial search found 307 articles, filtered using inclusion criteria, so as many as 8 articles were analyzed with a time span of 2017-2021. The efficiency of health services in hospitals is the basis for obtaining a wider patient base and producing quality services. The results of the literature study show that there are 29 factors affecting hospital efficiency. The various factors obtained were categorized into organizational factors, health resource factors, and technical efficiency factors.

The eff ectiveness and effi ciency of any type of professional activity largely depends on the level of motivation of the staff . Currently, a signifi cant number of mechanisms to stimulate the labor activity of employees of organizations, as well as the levels of their importance to the individual in various constitutional working conditions are described. Of particular importance is the quality of services provided in the “helping” areas of activity, which include health care. However, the range of methods used to stimulate and motivate in this area is reduced only to the use of material monetary incentives, often not related to the direct performance indicators of specialists, which levels the motivational component of these activities. Taking into account the fact that doctors, as well as representatives of any other professions, have absolutely diff erent dominant motives of labor activity, in medical organizations it is necessary to apply a diff erentiated approach to motivating and stimulating activities, including various types of material non-monetary and non-fi nancial stimulation, the result of which will be an increase in the quality and availability of medical services provided to the population.

Patient safety heavily relies on doctors performing to the best of their abilities, delivering high quality of patientcare. However, changing market forces and increasing bureaucracy challenge physicians in their performance. Despite the dynamic conditions they experience, the majority performs on a high level. What exactly drives these doctors? Answering this question will shed light on how to best support doctors to be the engaged healthcare professionals that society wants and needs them to be. So patients are ensured safe and high quality of care. This chapter dips deeper into what primarily drives doctors, thus we turned to doctors themselves for answers. Being interested in their perceptions, feelings, behaviour, relations to, and interactions with, each other, this chapter relies heavily on qualitative research involving around 1000 hospital-based physicians. Conclusively, doctors can only truly blossom in an environment that stimulates their calling and that breathes a comradeship mindset, where sharing is about caring and peer-support is felt. It’s alarming that these essential humanistic and relational values are supressed by today’s more business-like climate in healthcare. Curtailing what primarily inspires doctors will eventually lead to doctors no longer having the time, energy and motivation to deliver the best possible patientcare. To restore the balance, we provide recommendations on the individual-, group-, and organizational level.
