Abstract:

This study presents theoretical-methodological contributions to support the construction of models for analyzing public policies based on the adoption and use of information and communication technology (ICT) solutions. Three digital health initiatives are examined: the Health Information System for Primary Care (Sisab) and the e-SUS strategy; the Hospital Management Application for University Hospitals (AGHU) of the Brazilian Hospital Services Company (Ebserh); and the Electronic Health Platform (iPES). The analysis is grounded in the approaches of Policy Design, Policy Diffusion, and fourth-generation implementation studies. Four theoretical-methodological propositions are presented in the first dimension, Policy Design; two in the second dimension, Adoption Decision; and three in the third dimension, Policy Implementation and the objectives of the actors involved. The systematized insights can contribute to building theoretical-methodological models for studying similar policies, considering the complexity of health systems and the factors influencing the implementation of innovations.
