Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Access to beds in hospitals is a citizen's right to benefit from a public health structure. The State must guarantee access to quality healthcare, providing maximum efficiency in results¹. The presence and proper functioning of regulation of access to hospital beds is essential. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to analyze the flow of access to hospital beds in the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, in the year 2022. METHODOLOGY: Qualitative exploratory case study in Pelotas, collecting information through interviews with the health sector Specialized and Hospital Care, with Numesc and together with the Regulation Center. The topic was addressed with questions regarding the management of hospital beds in Pelotas and their operation. A literature review was carried out based on scientific articles collected with the keywords “access”, “hospital beds”, “management”, “regulation” and “hospitalization”. RESULTS: Pelotas has 819 hospital beds registered by the SUS and is a reference for twenty-two municipalities in the region, and in certain specialties it covers twenty-eight municipalities. Access to hospital beds begins with the PSP and the continuity of the flow depends on communication between regulatory doctors and the PSP. In this case, the regulation of access to hospital beds is adapting to what is standardized by the Department of Health through a hospital bed center. DISCUSSION: Pelotas is adapting to the standards of the State Department of Health in Rio Grande do Sul. Still, there is a need for investment in the most precarious specialties, avoiding overloading the city of Porto Alegre, which references Pelotas. CONCLUSION: Access to hospital beds in Pelotas is adapting to the regulations proposed by the State Department of Health. However, it is important that investments in this area continue, such as the implementation of the Gerint system.
