• Abstract:

  Orthotics, prosthetics and special materials are part of a broad category of supplies, with a wide range of products used in medical, dental and physiotherapy procedures, as well as in the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and monitoring of patients. The management of these materials permeates a large part of the hospital's processes, from scheduling the procedure to accounting for the information, including logistics, consumption and billing. This flow contributes to their characteristics in terms of care and marketing being considered complex, as it involves patients, doctors, healthcare professionals, manufacturers, suppliers and managers. This context gives rise to the need to develop strategies to improve the management of the use of orthoses, prostheses and special materials. In order to solve these problems, an information system was developed as a strategy to contribute to the management of these supplies in a health unit that has difficulty managing its supplies. The aim of this work is to design and develop an information system to support the management of orthoses, prostheses and special materials. The development process was based on a structure defined in three phases in an interactive and cyclical way. In the first, called planning and design, the literature was reviewed, the current workflow operating in the hospital was familiarized, a new workflow was defined and requirements were obtained. In the second phase, the requirements, design and implementation were analyzed. The third and final phase was preliminary validation and delivery of the system. The architecture of the system developed includes medical requests on a specific digital form and directing the materials requested in accordance with the Management System for the Table of Procedures, Medicines and OPME of the Unified Health System and current legislation. This work resulted in improvements related to communication flow, process standardization, the production of management indicators, device traceability, greater control over workflow and cost reduction. In conclusion, the Haima system was validated and proved to be viable and capable of meeting the proposed requirements, with no failures during the simulation process.
