Objetiva-se aqui analisar as mudanças contemporâneas no mundo do trabalho e os seus efeitos ou impactos nos processo de trabalho em saúde. Trata-se de uma análise que toma como referencial teórico uma vertente dos estudos do trabalho em saúde desenvolvida no Brasil, no campo da saúde coletiva, que, partindo do pressuposto da consubstancialidade entre trabalho e necessidades sociais, vai aprofundar a investigação dos processos de trabalho e seus elementos constituintes, bem como da dimensão intersubjetiva e ético-moral da produção de serviços de saúde. Considerada, de um lado, a complexidade dos objetos de trabalho em saúde que requerem simultaneamente o aprofundamento vertical do conhecimento especializado e a sua integração e, de outro, a introdução de novos modelos organizacionais/gerenciais e a constante inovação e incorporação tecnológica, observam-se mudanças marcantes nos processo de trabalho, dentre as quais destacam-se: o caráter multiprofissional e interdisciplinar das práticas de saúde, o redimensionamento da autonomia profissional diante da necessidade de recomposição dos trabalhos especializados, e a necessidades de garantir maior e permanente qualificação profissional para o conjunto dos trabalhadores em saúde, tanto na dimensão técnica quanto na ético-política e comunicacional.<br>Our objective here is to analyze the contemporary changes in the world of work and their effect - or their impact - on the work processes in the area of health. The theoretical reference for this analysis is a specific stream of studies on work developed in Brazil in the area of collective health. Starting from the assumption that work and social needs are consubstantial, the analysis deepens the investigation of the work processes and their constitutive elements, as well as of the inter-subjective and ethical-moral dimensions of the production of health services. Having considered, on the one hand, the complexity of the work objects in the area of health - that demand both a vertical increase in specialized knowledge and the horizontal integration of that knowledge - ; and, on the other, the introduction of new organizational/managerial models and the constant presence of technological innovation and incorporation, we observed significant changes in the work processes, including, among others, the multi-professional and interdisciplinary character of health practices, the re-dimensioning of professional autonomy in the face of a need to recompose specialized work, and the need to provide all health workers with better and permanent professional qualifications, both in its technical and in its ethical-political and communicational dimensions.Date

Good Practices in Health Financing : Lessons from Reforms in Low and Middle-Income CountriesWaters, Hugh R.; Schieber, George J.; Gottret, Pablo (Washington, DC : World Bank, 2012-05-25)This volume focuses on nine countries that have completed, or are well along in the process of carrying out, major health financing reforms. These countries have significantly expanded their people's health care coverage or maintained such coverage after prolonged political or economic shocks. In doing so, this report seeks to expand the evidence base on good performance in health financing reforms in low- and middle-income countries. The countries chosen for the study were Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Estonia, the Kyrgyz Republic, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tunisia, and Vietnam. With health at the center of global development policy on humanitarian as well as economic and health security grounds, the international community and developing countries are closely focused on scaling up health systems to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), improving financial protection, and ensuring long-term financing to sustain these gains. With the scaling up of aid, both donors and countries have come to realize that money alone cannot buy health gains or prevent impoverishment due to catastrophic medical bills. This realization has sent policy makers looking for reliable evidence about what works and what does not, but they have found little to guide their search.

Better Outcomes through Health Reforms in the Russian Federation : The Challenge in 2008 and BeyondMarquez, Patricio V. (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2008-02)The purpose of this discussion paper is
 to discuss selected health challenges in the Russian
 Federation, focusing on outcomes, expenditures and options
 for policy and institutional reforms in the health care
 system. The areas covered in the paper draw on recent
 studies and reports, and take into account lessons derived
 from the implementation of the World Bank-funded Health
 Reform Implementation Project (HRIP) at the federal level
 and in the Chuvash Republic and the Voronezh Oblast-the
 pilot regions of the project, over the 2005-2007 period.

Who pays? Out-of-Pocket Health Spending and Equity Implications in the Middle East and North AfricaElgazzar, Heba; Arfa, Chokri; Salti, Nisreen; Majbouri, Mehdi; Salehi-Isfahani, Djavad; Raad, Firas; Chaaban, Jad; Fesharaki, Sanaz; Mataria, Awad (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2013-05-29)Ensuring affordable, effective health care and financial protection against the adverse effects of household out-of-pocket (OOP) health expenditures represents an important policy objective in most countries, yet relatively little evidence exists regarding patterns and implications of household health expenditures in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This paper examines the scope of out-of-pocket expenditures and their implications on living standards and policy reforms in six MENA countries including Yemen, the West Bank and Gaza, Egypt, Iran, Tunisia, and Lebanon. Results show that OOP payments represent a relatively high share of total national health care financing at 49 percent on average in the MENA region as of 2006. Households pay an average of 6 percent of their total household expenditure on health. Most of this OOP is spent on medications, doctor visits and diagnostic services. Lower-income and rural households generally face greater financial risk; yet this is reversed where private health services are utilized and paid for more frequently by higher-income groups. 7 to 13 percent of households face particularly high OOP payments, or catastrophic expenditures equal to at least 10 percent of household spending. Poverty rates tend to increase by up to 20 percent after health care spending is accounted for. Results are discussed in light of ongoing policy efforts to strengthen social protection for health care.
