Comportment Management in the Hospital: Where Is Patient's Health Care Station?

ABSTRACT

This article analyzes the factors that explain the increased use of special reports by hospital facility auditors, such as the structured interview, wondering if they look like evaluation studies. It examines their training, impact, and the institutional use implicit in the performance audit. From an anthropological perspective, the audit could traditionally be considered as "Rituals of Verification," recognizing the procedure and the evaluation of social effects, in public management. Therefore, sampling represents an effective and efficient tool for carrying out the statutory audit activity in the health care facilities where the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) virus is treated. However, the performance established a regulatory dimension compared to the concept of verification. In addition, auditing practices may often seem "trivial, inevitable part of a bureaucratic process," but taken together and over time, they are probably part of a distinct cultural artifact. As we have seen, the reasons that justify the activation of a clinical audit can be numerous patient complaints, occurrence of adverse events such as the case of COVID-19, performance with inadequate results, publication of new guidelines; however, the "bet" is that in the future the awareness that auditing is an irreplaceable part of professional practice will mature among professionals.
