Organização da informação no Instituto Médico Legal Estácio de Lima

Abstract

The main objective of information management is to support the management policy of the local manager in decision-making and in the evolution of the organizational structure. For information to be a management tool, and to be used effectively, it is necessary to establish criteria for the use and supply of relevant information with sufficient quality. The objective of this work is to analyze the process of organizing physical and electronic information at IML Estácio de Lima in Maceió, Alagoas. The choice of the research arises from the need to understand the issue of mortality in Alagoas and its relationship with crime rates in the state. The documentary research was carried out with an interview and the application of a questionnaire. There was an inefficiency in the information storage process due to the physical filing of the documents, taking up a lot of space on the local premises. For this, in addition to the modernization process, the librarian is an essential professional to assume this area in health-related processes.
