TECHNOLOGICAL ADAPTATION PROTOCOL FOR INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IN THE UNIFIED HEALTH SYSTEM

Abstract

This extended abstract aims to characterize a “technological adequacy protocol” for information management within the Unified Health System, focusing on the aspects that constitute a methodology for developing this technical-technological product. The study is conducted through applied and descriptive qualitative research, comprising a bibliographic review of scientific studies retrieved from the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. It draws upon research perspectives with significant potential for contribution, primarily developed in professional master's programs between 2015 and 2025, within the field of Information Science and related areas. The findings indicate that the development of a product is shaped by the nature of the research problem and the strategic demands of the environment for which the product is intended. Furthermore, it observes that the consulted literature does not address the concept and/or any methodology for developing a technological adequacy protocol. This results in the analysis and assimilation of the knowledge generated by these studies as contributions to the methodology for developing the proposed product. The study concludes that the conception of such informational products promotes information management across all processes and contributes to the improvement of information flows within institutions and organizations, in alignment with appropriate technologies.
