Environmental determinants of population health in urban settings. A systematic...
Salgado, Marta; Madureira, Joana; Mendes, Ana Sofia; Torres, Anália; Teixeira, João Paulo; Oliveira, Mónica DuarteBackground: Population health is influenced by interactions between environmental determinants, which are captured by dimensions and indicators. This study aims to systematically review key environmental determinants and respective dimensions and indicators, relevant to evaluate population health in urban settings, and to understand their potential implications into policies. Methods: A search of literature pub...

From problem structuring to optimization: a multi-methodological framework to a...
Cardoso-Grilo, Teresa; Monteiro, Marta; Oliveira, Mónica Duarte; Amorim-Lopes, Mário; Barbosa-Póvoa, AnaMedical training is an intricate and long process, which is compulsory to medical practice and often lasts up to twelve years for some specialties. Health stakeholders recognise that an adequate planning is crucial for health systems to deliver necessary care services. However, proper planning needs to account for complexity related with the setting of medical school vacancies and of residency programs, which a...
Valuing health states: is the MACBETH approach useful for valuing EQ-5D-3L heal...
Oliveira, Mónica Duarte; Agostinho, Andreia; Ferreira, Lara N.; Nicola, Paulo; Bana E Costa, CarlosBackground: Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) are a key outcome measure widely used within health technology assessment and health service research studies. QALYs combine quantity and quality of life, with quality of life calculations relying on the value of distinct health states. Such health states’ values capture the preferences of a population and have been typically built through numerical elicitation me...

Networks of primary and secondary care services : how to organise services so a...
Farinha, Ricardo; Oliveira, Mónica Duarte; Sá, Armando Brito deGovernments in countries with national health systems have been concerned with how to organise services so as to achieve improvements in efficiency and quality in healthcare delivery, as well as to control costs. In this study, a stochastic discrete event simulation model to study the organisation of primary and secondary care services is proposed. The model was built with reference to the context of the Portug...
