Lei de Acesso à Informação: um olhar para os arquivos hospitalares

Abstract

Access is a process of extreme importance for the information to arrive in a transparent and effective way to the user. The right of access to information is ensured by the constitutional text of 1988, and regulated by Law no 12,527 / 2011, called the Law on Access to Information (LAI). In the hospital file, there is a great flow of information to meet the needs of users, access to quality information is paramount, as this will bring benefits not only to the patient

and health team, but also to the institution where they are, assisting in planning, decision- making and data routing for health guidelines. The general objective of the research was to

analyze the access of archival information to the hospital archives by means of a review of the literature of the area and was achieved through the specific objectives of identifying the applicability of the concept of access to information in the archives, Access to Information and mention the possible relationship of the aforementioned law with the hospital archives. The research was based on a theoretical approach, of a bibliographic and documentary type, aiming to better understand the applicability of the concept of access and its relationship with hospital files. Finally, we point out that this subject is still little approached in archival theory and we investigate the existence of legal diplomas that regulate access to information, however, it is imperative that public institutions, in the case in hand, hospitals, observe and implement with more rigor the legal precepts contained therein, since access to the information referred to in the hospital file is of paramount importance for the development of the institution itself, the professionals involved and patients.
