Abstract:

This study examined, through a rapid review of the scientific literature, the results of quality improvement in federal university hospitals (FUHs) after management by the Brazilian Hospital Services Company (Ebserh). A systematic search was conducted in the BVS and Capes Journals Portal databases for studies from 2013 to March 2022. Despite identified negative effects (reduction in the number of research projects, lower tendency to reduce the average mortality rate, increased absence of employees due to medical leave), more positive results were identified after joining Ebserh (reduction in hospital stay time, increase in professionals, residents, hospitalizations, consultations, exams and contractual revenues) in the categories of care, management, teaching, extension, research, and innovation. Variations in the effects and magnitude of these effects were identified among the FUHs, along with significant limitations regarding the scope of the indicators used, which focused primarily on quantitative, structural, and production aspects. It is concluded that there is a need for expanded studies using qualitative approaches and for the evaluation of timely, equitable, safe, and user-centered care to more accurately capture the impacts of Ebserh on the quality of healthcare in the FUHs.
