Exploratory study of health performance models: an assessment of the evaluation capacity

ABSTRACT

This paper aims to characterize the evaluation potential of currently known health performance models. A systematic literature was performed and six articles were selected because they specified the adopted model of performance. The review showed that most of the debates concerning the models was focused on the description of the analytic dimensions and indicators. Issues such as valuation theory, standards and thresholds for judgment were missing. Thus, this study expects to contribute to systematize criteria to assess health performance evaluation models highlighting focus, theoretical assumptions and methodological strategies.
