Abstract

In the area of public health, the media has repeatedly cited problems related to this subject. The main user of public services is the population of our country, and the same is interested in the quality and appropriateness of the information on the management of the resources applied. The society applies resources in the form of payment of taxes and contributions and the State executes government actions in favor of society. Currently a topic that has been much debated is the outsourcing of services provided by the government, be it at the national or state level. One way that the public entities have found as a way of sharing the management of the numerous health units, is contracting the service so that they can be provided by third parties. From this, it is by society that the administration is direct or indirect, execute the expenses in an efficient way. Be efficient when a Decision Making Unit (DMU) produces more services using the least amount of inputs, that is, available resources. For the calculation of the efficiency of the DMUs studied in this work, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) will be used, after which it will be possible to make an efficiency analysis comparing the direct and indirect administration. The data revealed that there is no statistically significant difference in efficiency regarding the type of management.
