Abstract:

This study investigates changing organizational processes in hospital care management using qualitative evaluation on a case study. The study was conducted at Piracicaba Sugarcane Suppliers Hospital (Hospital dos Fornecedores de Cana de Piracicaba), State of São Paulo, Brazil, in September and October 2012. Twenty-five interviews were held with senior hospital managers and health professionals involved in adult patients care. In addition, management documents were analyzed and some care practices were observed . Part of the investigation results are analyzed in this article, which focuses organizational change in three areas: planning process undertaken in care sectors; the development or creation of care protocols or routines aimed at greater efficiency and patient safety; and the work of hospitalists physicians. The study highlights the complexity of changing processes in hospital care management as well as the dynamism between a kind of management conception and its rationalizing tools and, at the other hand, subjects and groups that seek, in the micropolitical and intersubjective processes, senses to their practices.
