- Proposal for selection of mental health indicators in the management of health networks: from heuristic to process modelingPublication . Lima, Inacia Bezerra de; Yamada, Diego Bettiol; Yoshiura, Vinicius Tohoru; Lance, Rogério Cortecioni; Rodrigues, Lidia Maria Lourençön; Vinci, Andre Luiz Teixeira; Martinho, Ricardo; Pádua, Silvia Dallavalle de; Rijo, Rui Pedro Charters Lopes; Rijo, Rui, Rui Pedro Charters Lopes; Furegato, Antonia Regina Ferreira; Alves, DomingosIn 2011, Brazil instituted the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS) for people suffering from mental disorders and needs arising from the use of alcohol and other drugs within the Unified Health System an electronic information system that supports the planning, regulation, control and evaluation of mental health actions. Several studies have been done to select a complete set of indicators for mental health in Brazil; however, these studies do not describe how these principles are transposed into indicators. In this work we will use Business Process Management Notation (BPMN) to analyze the process of patient care in a mental health unit and to search through this analysis to select and map those that apply to the specific RAPS institutions. We propose a method, using process modeling along the Thornicroft and Tansella matrix, to select the relevant indicators and their mapping along the network. The method was effective allowing the application of indicators to the concrete reality of a psychiatric hospital in Brazil.
- Towards a standardized protocol for conducting randomized clinical trial for softwarePublication . Rodrigues, Lídia Maria Lourençön; Lima, Inacia Bezerra de; Santos, Luiz Ricardo Albano dos; Bollela, Valdes Roberto; Cruz-Cunha, Maria Manuela; Rijo, Rui, Rui Pedro Charters Lopes; Alves, DomingosIn the last decade, evidence-based medical practice has been aided on a large scale by computerized decision support tools, aimed at reducing diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainty, complementing the actions of the health professional. With the technological evolution, it is already possible to consider these systems as part of the clinical intervention, both for the diagnostic stage and for the treatment of diseases. This article proposes the creation of a specific clinical trial protocol to evaluate the effects of the software as clinical intervention in different medical settings. The proposal is unprecedented and extremely relevant in the scientific literature and able to standardize from the development stage to the application of the software aiding in the treatment of diseases.
