Cayetano MH. Overview of the recruitment, hiring profile and remuneration of human resources in the public dental service [thesis].

The profile of the human resources in dentistry in the public service is important to evaluate the discrepancies between hiring and remuneration, collaborating with the elaboration of public policies that allow an adequate recruitment and fixation of professionals, guaranteeing equity in the access to the health services. Labor relations and the health professionals' distribution issue are directly related to barriers to the development of an efficient and effective health system. The objective of this study was to characterize and analyze aspects of contracting, recruitment and remuneration of dentistry professionals in the public service. Three strategies were used: i) scoping review, ii) human resources recruitment mechanisms for public service analysis (2013 public tenders and selective processes), and iii) PMAQ-AB II and PMAQ-CEO I analysis to the contracting agent, bond and mechanism of dentists' entry into the public service. The scoping review showed that human resources studies in dentistry are scarce, especially in low-and middle-income countries, and presented options for the remuneration and insertion of dentistry professionals in the public, private and mixed labor market. The forms of remuneration presented were: fee-for service, fixed salary, capitation, or mixed models. The calls for public selection processes evaluated showed inaccurate data with no information about the vacancies, salaries and benefits offered and professional profile required to work in the public service. Significant salary differences were observed among dentists, physicians and nurses, as well as a greater concentration of vacancies offered in the southeastern region of the country, evidencing the lack of a strategic planning of the geographic distribution of these human resources and care coverage. Regarding PMAQ-AB, it was observed that 80% of dentists working in primary care were contracted by direct administration, but only 45% are under servant regime. The political indication as a form of admission was reported by 23% of respondents. However, in the PMAQ-CEO, 80% of the dentists were hired by direct administration and 58% had a public servant relationship. The admission mechanism of 65% of these professionals occurred by public tender, while in PMAQ-AB the number was 50%; therefore, in the CEO there is a greater proportion of professionals in the field of primary care, demonstrating that the outsourcing process is more advanced in primary care than in secondary care. In conclusion, public policies informed by scientific evidence are important in order to offer fair access to services by improving the distribution of professionals, providing incentives and adequate working conditions, and efficient personnel selection processes.
