Advisory Councils and Advisors (CCA) for Private Health Institutions
The Advisory Councils and Advisors (CCA) for Private Health Institutions complement the structures that must be established within the State Health Services Administration (ASSE), following Law 18.211 which establishes the need for public and private entities to have representative advice for users and workers. In this way, the CCA are made up of 6 members with party representation of the company, workers and users. Representatives of users and workers must be elected by secret ballot. Companies are required to provide sufficient information in order to enable the councils to analyze and evaluate the management. They are also responsible for analyzing users' complaints and for ensuring that companies establish the relevant Ministry of Health programs. If the regulations are not respected by private companies, the National Health Board (JUNASA) must take charge of compliance.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
