- Analyze the situational diagnosis of specialized care in Brazil to understand the barriers to access and the production process: queues for surgeries, consultations, diagnostic exams and procedures in collaboration with public health workers, managers and users analyzing the management, governance and care process in the Specialized Care network in public health;
- Prospect innovative solutions and practices for care management and governance of Specialized Care, supporting the formulation and implementation of the Specialized Care Policy in Brazil.
