INTEGRA.SAÚDE: UM MODELO PARA INTEGRAÇÃO DAS UNIDADES ENVOLVIDAS NA EXECUÇÃO DE EXAMES LABORATORIAIS PELO SUS

Abstract

In most Brazilian cities inland, marking laboratory procedures by the Unified Health System (SUS) comply with bureaucratic and costly steps. Often, the tests prescribed by doctors in hospitals or public payphones are not performed in situ, access to the private network of laboratories is needed. This means in general the Departments of Health are driven mainly by poor people in grants to fund crave exams. Fragmentation, and the computerization of these steps does not cause inconvenience to those involved, especially delaying the care of patients. Given scenario, this paper proposes a model for integration of the units involved in this process: Public Health Centers, Clinical Laboratories and Departments of Health. Named Integra.Saúde, the model adds variables aimed at interoperability between distributed information, encapsulating requirements to meet specific mobile and ubiquitous computing.
