ABSTRACT

Este trabalho tem como objetivo esclarecer as características do prontuário médico, enfatizando sua importância, determinando as vantagens, as barreiras e as etapas necessárias para sua construção e implantação. Abordam-se a falta de registro em prontuário e, sobretudo, os problemas decorrentes dessa ausência. A inexistência de um sistema de informações impossibilita várias atividades, tais como: avaliação do trabalho profissional realizado, determinação dos principais indicadores de saúde de uma população, a defesa do médico e a discussão clínica. Assim, reconhece-se a importância do preenchimento correto do prontuário, sobretudo, no suporte ao cuidado à saúde, através do aperfeiçoamento qualitativo da informação. Conclui-se, pois, que essa ferramenta certamente melhora a qualidade do trabalho médico, protegendo-o contra denúncias de má prática.
