Abstract

The planning of goal-oriented services for health indices promotes the access and the quality in providing these services. Automatic balancing of goals aims to improve the indicators, try to approximate them to the values initially planned, especially when health managers are dealing with inconstant scenarios. In this context, this paper formalises the automatic goal balancing, incorporating it into a tool. This software is capable of simulate contingent scenarios regarding initial deviation plans. With a set of simulations inspired in realistic scenarios, we find results statistically significant (p < 0.05) that offer satisfactory and positive values for our proposal, suggesting the approach would work in a real environment properly.
