FALANGO, D. Screening of medical requests from hepatitis B to improve care processes and hospital management. 2016. 77 f. Dissertation (Professional Master in Health Management Organizations) Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, 2016. Laboratory tests are critical as tools to elucidate the diagnosis and assess prognosis in medical practice. New tests are constantly added to the list already exists in the clinic, which can result in higher costs, not always with the expected return. The standardization of test ordering has been stimulated both in public health and in health insurance considering the clinical, financial and environmental impacts of unnecessary requests. The Hospital of the Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto (HCRP) has revised protocols and created a hierarchy to request additional tests. This study is justified by assessing an action that aimed to suit the request of serological markers of hepatitis B, adjusting them to the standards established by resolution of the São Paulo State Health Department. Objective: To evaluate the adequacy of medical requests of serological markers for hepatitis B sent to the serology lab HCRP and the impact of screening ("reflective testing" / "reflex testing") established by the laboratory. Methods: Retrospective study of a descriptive nature, with data collected through 24,649 medical claims of hepatitis B markers received in two periods: Phase 1 seven months between 2012 and 2013; Phase 2 nine months between 2014 and 2015. We evaluated the requested markers and the diagnosis reported by the physician. Tracing requests for HBV with HBsAg and anti-HBcAg alone or together were considered adequate. The adjustment routine includes the exclusion of inappropriate markers or serological markers of the indicated complementation, where the HBsAg was positive, whether for medical application. A cost analysis was performed, considering the requested examinations and those who have been realized. Results: Phase 1 11,167 of assessed requests, 1,143 (10.23%) were considered inadequate. Phase 2 the 13,482 requests analyzed, 251 (1.86%) were considered inadequate. With the screening process carried out by the laboratory was possible to save respectively R $ 19,617.25 and R $ 1,683.80 in both periods analyzed. This information will form the basis for structuring a proposal to request guidance of serological markers of hepatitis B, with teams where we identify higher frequency of inadequacy. Conclusion: The manual sorting processes ("reflective testing") and electronic ("reflex testing") performed by the laboratory have shown to be cost-effective and accelerate the release of relevant results for clinical decision making.
