Análise de artigos publicados no período de 2020-2022 sobre prontuário de paciente em periódicos Qualis A1 e A2 da Ciência da Informação

Abstract

The low production of scientific articles on patient records in the area of Librarianship, especially in highly relevant journals, indicates a lack of knowledge in this specific field. This may limit the advancement of the area and the application of more efficient practices related to the management and retrieval of information from patient records. During the coronavirus pandemic, a study was conducted to analyze the scientific production on this topic. Using the platform Referential Database of Journal Articles in Information Science, which is a database of scientific articles in the area of Information Science, where 22 articles were initially found by applying the descriptor "patient record" in the titles of the papers. However, only two articles met the criterion of being in higher impact journals (Qualis A1 and A2). Both articles emphasize the importance of correct codification and search for information in medical records, aiming to improve the quality of health care and the advancement of scientific research in the medical field. Despite the limited scientific production on patient records in the area of Librarianship, the two articles analyzed in the study demonstrate the importance of adequate coding and the use of these documents as a reliable source of information, both for health professionals and for researchers from the most diverse areas.
