Analysis of Managers’ Perception Regarding the Use of Traceability Tools in the Context of Brazilian Health

Abstract

Our society has advanced in terms of technology, and health could not be different. Despite the benefits and advantages that such improvements entail, it is unknown what contributions have been added to the hospital environment and whether such technological engineering has managed to generate value and adapt to different factors within such institutions’ professional culture to establish relevance to the base of utilitarian nature. The use of tools can be conditioned to the view that the managerial sectors have such instruments. The work aims to identify and understand the perception that health managers have traceability tools such and their view on their efficiency and effectiveness in the hospital environment. The results direct us that the traceability tools have a significant expression in the hospital context, collaborating for efficiency and efficacy. Traceability tools can help the entire health system to be more uniform in service, in accountability, and in inspection processes.
