Gestão de riscos : Uma proposta para o ciclo de vida de ativos hospitalares de alta complexidade

Abstract

This research addresses risk management in the life cycle of medical and hospital equipment (EMH), with a specific focus on Positron Emission Tomography equipment coupled to Computed Tomography (PET-CT). This study is relevant to the administration of highly complex and costly technologies in the hospital environment,especially in the context of the Navy Health System, where availability, efficiency and operational safety are valued attributes. The work explores risk management protocols applied from the planning phase, through the acquisition, installation, acceptance, use, maintenance and deactivation of PET-CT. The research highlights the importance of continuous and specialized training for healthcare professionals involved with this type of equipment, enabling them to operate and manage complex technologies, which raises the standard of medical care and strengthens the healthcare infrastructure. Detailed analysis of each phase of the PET-CT life cycle, using risk management tools such as Failure Mode and Effect Analysis, demonstrates how risk management can be implemented effectively to minimize risks and maximize clinical effectiveness and financial sustainability. The thesis concludes that the adoption of well-structured risk management practices not only protects investments in technology, but also significantly improves the quality of patient care. Furthermore, it promotes a culture of safety and responsibility, aligned with the regulations of the National Health Surveillance Agency and the National Nuclear Energy Commission. By integrating theory and practice, the study proposes a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to EMH management, offering a model that can serve as a reference for other high-cost facilities and other healthcare organizations
