Newton Advanced Fellowship conferido a parceria entre pesquisadores da Universidade de Kent e UFG para estudar o PMAQ
Dr. Fabiana da Cunha Saddi, post-doctoral researcher at the Programme of Post-Graduation in Political Science, Faculty of Social Sciences at the Federal University of Goias in Brazil, and Prof. Stephen Peckham, Director of CHSS at the University of Kent, UK, have been awarded a two-year grant via the British Academy’s Newton Advanced Fellowship scheme, to develop the research: “How to strengthen leadership and the workforce through the re-design and implementation of a pay for performance program (PMAQ) in PHC in Brazil. A comparative health policy and system analysis”.
This research will bring new knowledge regarding the Brazilian National Program for Access and Quality Improvement in Primary Care/PMAQ. Researchers will employ framework analysis (Ritchie and Spencer 1994, Gale et al 2013) to explore if/how the reformulation and implementation processes of PMAQ/3rd round have contributed to strengthening the performance of health system leadership and workforce, in cities with distinct income/development levels, and unities with diverse management/leadership arrangements and organizational capacities. Researchers will conduct a rapid review, a mix of interviews (with policymakers, implementers and front-line staff), examine related documentation and triangulate secondary data with new data collected. Interviews will be conducted in two sates/regions of Brazil: Goiás and Pernambuco. Data from the review and interviews/documents will be thematically analysed taking into account relevant themes from Public Policy, the politics of performance and Health System literature. The partnership with the UK co-applicant will involve research collaboration, reciprocal visits and transfer of knowledge/skills to Brazil.
