Abstract
This paper introduces a methodology for prioritizing investment initiatives within a Regional Health Service. The absence of a structured methodology directly impacts the timely delivery of solutions in public health to citizens. Currently, investment priorities lack clear definition and justification, affecting the focus on crucial citizen issues that require prioritization in both the planning and execution of the investment portfolio.
To face this challenge, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is employed. The prioritization relies on the judgments of experts and stakeholders engaged in the Health Service. Recognizing the constraints of limited financial resources, a method for scheduling projects over time is also incorporated.
The result of this model is a robust approach that enables the effective prioritization of public investment projects outlined in the portfolio. This, in turn, addresses the needs of citizens in public health with projects that materialize within more limited timelines and are based in criteria justifying the allocation of resources.
