Arquivos e prontuários médicos: análise sobre a aplicação da gestão documental nos arquivos de saúde

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze document management, assisting archivists with the most common problems encountered in the area of medical records and medical files of hospitals. Many of the hospitals, because they never went through a documentary organization, added, over time, some functional difficulties in the archive, thus generating great problems regarding the retrieval of information. The present work was carried out taking into account the medical files of the Hospital of Emergency and Trauma Senator Humberto Lucena - HETSHL and of the Municipal Hospital Santa Isabel - HMSI, where I worked for 2 and 5 years respectively as Coordinator of the Archive Sector. It addresses the document management to be applied in the medical files as well as an internal marketing plan for the employees' knowledge, such as working with the medical record and its purpose, taking into account the way of preserving and

preserving, since the medical file is a set of documents in the majority are first- age (current) and at the same time old-age (permanent), since the medical record of a school hospital should be preserved for case study purposes by students of medicine, physiotherapy, nutrition parental, etc. Finally, the Archivology needs to pay more attention and debate about health archives.
