Abstract

The research involved a major public health challenge in Brazil: health financing versus a Single Health System with universal and comprehensive rights and the inherent costs. Public hospitals of direct or indirect administration present an important cost range in the Unified Health System, in addition to presenting a greater complexity within the system. The objective was the development of an applied methodology for a system of calculation and management of hospital costs applied to the proper Hospitals of the Department of Health. It is an action research based on the survey of similar research results to analyze the application
of the model of costing for hospital organizations, as well as the empirical analysis of existing information in two selected hospitals. The direct applicability of the research was to establish a methodology of costing system for public hospitals of Paraná that can be replicated the different units from a set of tools made available. Thus, the initial scope was related to the Public Hospital System of Paraná, which comprises 19 hospitals directly administered by the state, distributed in the 22 health regions and with different service profiles. However, this same system can be replicated to all public hospitals of the different units of the Federation. One of the strengths of the proposed model is its implantation
potential in a simple and organized way, without having to have a large functional or technological structure for its application.
