RESUMO
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el desempeño de la salud pública por las comunidades autónomas en España a partir de la información accesible en sus documentos anuales de revisión de gestión. Se realizó una búsqueda de sus memorias anuales, que se localizaron en 9 de las 17 comunidades autónomas. De su análisis se desprenden algunas diferencias en las estructuras de salud pública, así como en los contenidos publicados y en la utilización de indicadores de gestión. No siempre se aprecia una explicitación de la cartera de servicios, de los objetivos ni de los recursos adscritos. Si la evaluación de los servicios públicos y su difusión son ejercicios básicos de transparencia y de calidad de gestión, su práctica tiene amplio margen de mejora. La realización de memorias anuales por los servicios de salud pública no es sistemática, y las publicadas aportan poca información para una comparación de su actividad, efectividad y eficiencia
The objective of this study is to analyze the performance of regional public health services in Spain using the information accessible in their annual reports. A search of these was conducted, and 9 were obtained from the 17 Autonomous Communities. Their analysis shows some variation in the structure of the organizations providing public health services, as well as in the published contents and in the indicators used for management. The service portfolio, annual objectives and resources allocated are not always detailed. If the evaluation of public services and its dissemination are basic for transparency and quality management, there is much room for improvement. The compilation of annual reports by public health services is not systematic, and those that exist provide insufficient information for a comparative analysis of their activity, effectiveness and efficiency
