Abstract: Management of a health system requires knowledge of the health situation and administration, among other factors. The use of scientific knowledge by health policy-makers is thus recommendable. However, policy-making processes and scientific practices themselves often appear to pose obstacles to the actual utilization of research results. Many such obstacles result from reifying views of the decision-making process and objectivist conceptions of science. We propose a re-conceptualization of health policy-making… Show more

“…Manager should also understand at least the terms and concepts related to their area of expertise, to apply the results. Thus, both must be aware that scientific research does not offer definitive and universally applicable answers, but are able to elucidate concepts that enable an in-depth knowledge about a reality (Souza;Contandriopoulos, 2004).…”

“…Trying to solve this problem, some factors that may determine the use of scientific knowledge should be listed, based on availability (involving managers in the definition of priority themes), accessibility (using a clear writing and promoting a broad dissemination, not restricted to academia), and validity (research should have its methodological and epistemological aspects clearly and explicitly described) (Souza;Contandriopoulos, 2004). Hence, the research should draw attention to certain situations and generate a line of thinking for decision-making.…”

“…A second set of works approaches the ideas and interests involved in the decision-making processes, analyzing the interaction between public and private actors in the process of defining public policies (for example, Coelho, 1998); analyses about the "institutional arrangements resulting from relations between political actors" (for example, Gershman;Santos, 2006) or about disputes between concepts and scientific knowledge in the policy formulation processes (for example, Souza;Contandriopoulos, 2004). Others regard decisions by governments and specific programs and policies in the SUS, like the different governmental options regarding the adoption of public policies models; decisions by governments or managerial councils about public health management at federal (for example, Menicucci, 2011), state (for example, Lima et al, 2015) or municipal (for example, Kleba, Zampirom and Comerlatto, 2015) levels.…”

“…As noted by Souza and Contandriopoulos, 15 "the idea that the use of scientific knowledge is a recommended practice for decision makers" is based on the assumption that policies formulated based on rational knowledge will be more effective and efficient. However, this is not an easily achievable task.…”
