The Vacancies Regulation Center: A Legal and Functional Analysis

“…Allocating vacancies is a complex task, as it involves reconciling the growing demand for health services with the limitations of existing resources. However, the Center seeks to balance this equation, considering not only the urgency of the cases, but also regionalization criteria, so that care is distributed more fairly and equitably [27].…”

“…Operating within the scope of highly complex services (namely, tertiary care), the Bed and Admissions Regulation Center exercises its duties by regulating the allocation of hospital beds in health units affiliated with the SUS. This entity was created as a way to effectively manage the interaction between healthcare providers and patients and fulfills this objective by supervising the entire bed allocation process [27].…”

“…Each entity involved in the process has a specific role to play. Thus, the regulation process is made up of three main components: the requesting units, which serve as the initial point of contact within the system; the regulation center, which facilitates the connection between the patient and the health unit; and, finally, the executing unit, belonging to the health establishment responsible for providing hospitalization services [27]. The user receives specialized assistance and guidance (Figure 1).…”

“…In a country of continental dimensions like Brazil, ensuring access to healthcare procedures in an agile and fair manner is a significant challenge. SISREG appears as a response to this demand, seeking to standardize the flow of scheduling procedures, as well as facilitating the monitoring and monitoring of care [27].…”

“…In this context, the SUS Vacancy Regulation Center plays an essential role in organizing and distributing specialized health services according to criteria of priority and severity of cases, seeking to meet the population's demand in a fair and equitable way [27].…”
