RESUMO

Health costs and expenses increase are observed with concern by their managers. Costs knowledge is a fundamental step to hospital management. On hospitals costs composition, consumption material item represents a meaningful parcel. At teaching hospitals, complex organizations, the consumption material costs management has been getting great importance. This work has been developed at Hospital das clínicas da faculdade de medicina de ribeirão Preto da Universidade de SÃO PAULO. The targets were: to characterize the managers from auxiliary and productive costs centers; to verify the consumption material costs on direction dimension, planning and controlling; to verify the information use available by the institution about consumption material costs; to identify the managersknowledge about elementary cost concepts and about consumption material with greater financial impact on cost center program. The studied group was formed by managers from auxiliary and productive costs centers. Forty responsible people participated of the research. A questionnaire which included LIKERT scale was applied having 29 affirmatives. There was female sex prevalence among the participant managers (70%); 65% were health professionals; 80% has been graduated for more than 15 years; 87,5% has been actuating for more than 10 years at the hospital, showing experience in the sector;82,5% has been in the function for less than 15 years; 70% without administration expertise, health management or service management, nevertheless ,57,5% said they had another technical title. From the affirmatives, in average, 55% presented managers answer coherently with adequate management consumption material cost. According to the theme importance, we understand that this index is low, without possibility of comparing with other parameters on available literature. Planning and controlling are the costs management functions with consumption materials more developed by the managers, while the direction function pointed to less rigorous practices. The managers presented little knowledge about elementary hospital costs concepts. They demonstrate to know the consumption material with greater financial impact on costs programming centers on their responsibility. The available institution information is not well used, not being well understood and, according to the answers, they dont represent the area reality. This result improvement requires better managersqualification and awareness from costs centers and also institutional management system improving, in a way that a greater autonomy and managersresponsibility are provided.
