Na implementaçao de projetos de infraestrutura hospitalar existem várias modalidades de gestao e estratégias de execuçao. Essas modalidades podem incluir a contrataçao independente do projeto, construçao e equipamentos (tradicionais), ou o agrupamento de qualquer um deles; um esquema de supervisao próprio ou externo; um esquema de designer e supervisor; um esquema de projeto e construçao ou construçao e equipamento, até o modo "chave na mao" ou um esquema de Parceria Público-Privada (PPP), que inclui a operaçao e manutençao da infraestrutura por um período de tempo especificado.

To facilitate the process of adapting to aging without putting other economic development objectives at risk, pension systems are gradually incorporating mechanisms that change depending on the demographic context or financial balance. Due to the political and social complexity of parametric adjustments, some countries are implementing self-correcting mechanisms for imbalances in the pension system. These types of mechanisms have been generically called sustainability factors or adjustment rules.

When implementing hospital infrastructure projects, there are various management modalities and implementation strategies. These modalities may include the independent contracting of design, construction, and equipment (traditional), or a combination of any of these; an in-house or external management scheme; a designer and manager scheme; a design and construction or construction and equipment scheme; the "turnkey" modality; or a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) scheme, which includes infrastructure operation and maintenance for a specified period of time.

Latin America is entering the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where its digital world is increasingly controlling the physical one. The digitalization of the economy is well underway. The COVID-19 pandemic is acting as an accelerator, forcing most businesses to transition online or die (slowly, or in fast-changing markets, quickly). While Latin Americas higher education system has not evolved for centuries, it has no choice now.

Disruptive innovators take advantage of unique opportunities. Prior to COVID-19 progress in Latin America and the Caribbean for integrating technology, learning, and system change has been exceedingly slow. In this paper we first offer a general framework for transforming education. The framework focuses on the provision of technology, innovative ideas in learning and well-being, and what we call systemness which are favorable change factors at the local, middle/regional, and policy levels.

The Technical Note "Setting Targets for Results-Based Financing Programs: A Simple Cost Benefit Framework" is accompanied by this Excel tool for the calculation of targets according to the simple framework presented. As an example, the case of El Salvador from the Salud Mesoamerica 2015 initiative is used in the file. The sources of information for this particular example were the latest available at the time of the exercise.
