ABSTRACT
SOMASUS , an information system for Hospital Architecture and Engineering
In harmony with one of the institutional missions of the Ministry of Health of Brazil, which aims to "promote improvements in organizational processes, creating and using quality tools," the technical team of DPI (Diretoria de Investimentos e Projetos Strategicos) created the SOMASUS - System of Organizations for welfare models of SUS (Single Health System), an information and planning system that aims to support the development of investment projects and accelerate the process analysis of projects at Ministry of Health.
The SOMASUS's mission is helping the promoters of the investment projects of the Ministry, allowing for consultations on matters relating to the physical structure of health institutions, , To the effect of the organization and planning, SOMASUS was organized into two functional modules: the equipment and the works. The idea is that these modules will be integrated, facilitating the display of the interfaces between the physical space needed, equipment and furniture, beyond systems, facilities and infrastructure. Currently, SOMASUS offers in the site www.saude.gov.br/somasus the following information: types and quantities of equipment and materials by ambient; list of physical areas that are needed for the operation of buildings with minimum size of each ambient, with comments regarding the basic characteristics of space; flows of services (diagrams / layout); complementary areas, with their minimum dimensions; basic requirements of infrastructure in environments (special facilities, air conditioning etc.). interfaces and technical specifications of equipment and furniture.
The plan envisages the development of the system incorporating more functions, most related to the physical characteristics of services (module works).
