Padronização de materiais no Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados: Proposições ao sistema e à estrutura

Abstract

This paper aims to as a central theme a discussion about the obligation to comply with the principle of standardization in the acquisition of materials and goods by public institutions to law enforcement of item I, art. 15 of law n º 8.666/1993, which comprises material, compatibility, technical specifications and performance. The main objective is to propose systems for the standardization process of hospital medical materials for the HU/UFGD. Therefore, the specific objectives are: a) analyze the standardization activities of HU/UFGD hospital medical supplies; b) verify practices related to standardization of hospital medical materials developed in the HU’s/Ebserh; c) identify the perception of the standardization activities of hospital medical materials in the purchase processes of HU/UFGD; and d) propose a sector responsible for the standardization of hospital medical materials in the structure of the HU/UFGD. The methodological approach used is qualitative research, in order to obtain the best practices, to verify the barriers, backwardness and the difficulties and, mainly, to propose alternatives, actions and strategic models so that the managers can improve the public purchases. Documentary data were used to construct the panorama of procedures carried out for the standardization of materials and, in addition, semi-structured and open interviews were conducted with members of standardization committees in hospitals linked to the Ebserh network and managers of the material administration area of the HU/UFGD. As a result, it was observed that although hospitals have been looking for improvements in the services provided to society, specifically as regards the management of materials that are predominant in efficiency, the actions are shown to be incipient in the realization of the standardization of materials as advocated in Law 8.666/1993. To achieve standardization, it is necessary to prove the advantage through studies, reports, expertise, technical opinions, certificates, experience reports and testimonials. The results also point out that due recognition of the importance of the area by the top administration is necessary for the procedures to be carried out. Finally, guidelines were proposed that would allow the establishment of a structure for the regular development of materials standardization activities for HU/UFGD, considering the essentiality and the very important role of material management for public administration.
