Abstract

Health services and systems face increasing pressure to improve management efficiency and quality, especially amid economic constraints and rising demand. This study investigates digital solutions for health services management presented at SBCAS. We conducted a systematic search and selection in SBC-OpenLib using keywords related to health management and administration, resulting in a set of 26 articles. Preliminary results indicate that the solutions focus on data analysis, resource allocation, predictive modeling, and hospital administration. This ongoing study suggests that these technologies provide strategic support for managers, highlighting the need for greater integration between technological innovation and management practices.
