Resum
Analysis of the healthcare activity and its unit costs performed at the rehabilitation departments of seven health centers with different characteristics. An associated previous and parallel process for development of an information system to establish the medical rehabilitation activity was undertaken. Explanation of the methods applied to compare the structure of the activity in the departments and the determination of unit costs of the activity performed in 1996-1997 by calculating the costs of the various resources used in each department for each of the four medical interventions and 25 therapeutic interventions comprising all healthcare activity. A high dispersion of the parameters calculated is detected among the study departments in both the structure of the activity and unit costs, as well as a high mismatch between the financing model for outpatient rehabilitation in hospitals and its costs.
