• Abstract:

  The present study seeks to eliminate the complexity of the materials and budget management system in organizations, including public bodies. To this end, the object of study was a Basic Health Unit (UBS) in a municipality in the interior of the State of São Paulo. The objective was to identify how the process that goes from the requisition to the replacement of administrative materials occurs in practice in this universe. It is true that efficient, effective and effective materials management is essential for the quality of health services. For this management to be successful and guarantee adequate care for patients, the study, which used an exploratory-descriptive methodology, became clear that it requires everything from the correct request to the adequate availability of administrative-medical-hospital materials. It is important to highlight that each UBS has its own particularities in its process of purchasing and replacing administrative-medical-hospital materials, incurring specific issues and applicable policies and regulations.
