Performance in the Public Health System – Is Only a Purely Medical Issue?

We intend to present in this article how performance within the health system is perceived. The atypical nature of the health services market and the specificity of the activity in hospitals, determines that performance analysis is a complex, multifactorial process. Following a quantitative study on a sample in the health system, I noticed that in relation to the landmark set, performance has a different meaning, and cost control is not a priority. In the context of a period of rationing scarce resources, we consider that a closer monitoring of costs is needed, while maintaining quality medical act and ensure patient satisfaction.
