Software de baixo custo para gestão na CME

Abstract

This study aimed to develop an automated traceability tool for the Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD), using low-cost resources within the healthcare management process. It is an applied research focused on technological development through the creation of a prototype called “X-Control, CSSD traceability system.” The system was developed following the software prototyping life cycle stages, using tools available on the Oracle Java platform. The prototype was built based on the fundamental steps of software creation, resulting in a functional, accessible, and efficient solution. The system features a clear and user-friendly interface, allowing barcode registration, automatic generation of spreadsheets containing CSSD process information, and security implementation with personalized user login and password. The results showed that the tool meets the operational needs of the department, optimizing internal process control without increasing associated costs. Therefore, it is concluded that “X-Control” represents a viable, practical, and low-cost alternative for traceability in the CSSD, contributing to the improvement of healthcare services and compliance with the required standards for tracking sterilized materials.
