Talk with Clarice Petramale 2012-02-23

 * Runs the commission on new technologies in health care of the Ministry of Health
 * They are going to create evaluation nuclei in around 50 hospitals spread throughout the country
 * She offered to bridge this research project and the school hospitals, connecting those interested
 * Long conversation, she wanted to understand the whole idea so she could convey it to the school hospitals
 * General meeting with all school hospitals in april
 * She might be able to put me in touch with a smaller number of hospitals before that

We discussed many many other topics as well :)

Talk with Patricia Cornils 2012-01-10

 * No online public record of health system data that is useful for patients: location of units, time to reply, availability of medicine or specialists
 * Data from DataSUS targeted at health professionals, not patients
 * Guidance provided many times disconnected from reality: go to local health unit when only few major ones have the care the patient needs, results in long lines at central units or postponing until it becomes a medical emergency


 * Talk with our neighbours at the dining table
 * Corruption bottlenecks of the system sometimes concentrated with very few agents
 * You can identify, count and track them, but hard to fire because of political favors
 * How to structure incentives for administrators to get rid of those?
