RESUMO

The models of health care in Brazil are mostly guided to seeing patients when they develop a health condition. The patient looks for medical care; there is a clinical investigation followed by a therapy with medicines. Quite often the patient does not take the medicines properly or stops taking them once the health condition improves. This causes great distress to the health professionals, compromises the patients health, and generates a high cost to the systems financing the process. This sequence of events forwards an extreme anxiety in the search, through business management, of an actual profit in health care which will result in quality of life to the patient and control of expenses to the health care provider. There arises the need to manage these patients. This management breaks the paradigm the health care faces and emphasizes in health a multi-professional team following up the patient. Hypertension was chosen as a directive in this study because it is widespread and causes severe damage to the person and to the society. Through the essential analysis methodology a system was developed, which allows the registry of the patient, defines the clinical risk, aligns practices of the appropriate professional team, monitors development, manages the patient and issues an invoice to the health care provider. The proposed model considers three elements: medical, managerial and information technology; being the expected result gain in quality of life for the patient with a possible reduction in actual costs in health care. This model favours the maximization of the operational process of managing patients and can promote a change in the paradigm of health care, gradually promoting the sustainability of the health providers, improving the current scenario in health care.
