[...] el principal cambio ocurre a comienzos de 1978, cuando se introduce un procedimiento de pago a los servicios denominado Facturación por Atención Prestada (FAP). Dicho mecanismo de pago establecía una relación directa entre el volumen de producción efectuado y el financiamiento entregado. Para ello los recursos eran distribuidos contra la facturación de las prestaciones efectivamente realizadas o lo que suele denominarse en la literatura como pago por acto médico. 1, record 1, Spanish, - pago%20por%20acto%20m%C3%A9dico
