CAMARGO-GARCIA, Samantha Carolina et al. Incentives and actors of Health Systems in Costa Rica, The United States of America, Canada, Chile and Ecuador - 2015. Univ. Salud [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.2, pp.385-406. ISSN 0124-7107.

Before the different systems of health proposed in every country there arises the need to analyze the participation of each one of the elements that compose it. This analysis is realized in order identify and to analyze the actors who intervene in the systems of health, especially, the use of incentives and the intersectorial relation that between these exists. For it, there was carried out a qualitative descriptive study, by means of a bibliographical review of the systems implemented in Costa Rica, The United States, Canada, Chile and Ecuador. Two factors were born in mind: the system of health, defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) like the sum of all the organizations, institutions and used resources, which aim consists of improving the health. The second one, the incentives, that offer a motivation to the workers, improving his expectations opposite to the work and the way of executing it, favoring the fulfillment of goals established by the companies. As result, one found that, in the systems of health exposed, though similarities exist in relation with his development and implementation, also there are deep differences, especially, in the participation of public and private actors. Conclusion, incentives in health care systems do not have strategic perspective so that there are many problems to obtain wellbeing for all citizens.
