Facing new challenges: a proposal of information services organization in hospitals

Abstract

When facing the new challenges launched by the present financial scenarios, health information services in the context of hospitals can transform health information management in a way that facilitates not only progress in services, but also organizational success. We present a model of the (re) organization of information services in hospitals, having as its theoretical-epistemological reference, the post-custodial and informational paradigm of Information Science, which conveys a holistic view of information, with a direct effect on the organization of services.
