Abstract

Objective: to assess the relationship between technological availability and productivity in Material and Sterilization Centers (CMEs, as per its Portuguese acronym), automated or not, in hospitals in Rio Grande do Sul (RS). Methodology: Cross-sectional and analytical study conducted in 43 randomly selected CMEs, located in the state of RS, Brazil. Data were collected through online interviews with managers of CMEs between December 2022 and May 2023. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The CMEs are centralized, with uninterrupted operation and have heterogeneous technological availability, with 22 (51.2%) being characterized as automated. A significant association was found between technological availability (automation) and productivity in the CMEs. A significant association (p<0.05) and a positive correlation (Rho<0.65) were also found between technological availability, hospital size, and surgical output, although institutions were found with high surgical demand and limited technological availability in the cleaning area, indicating a predominantly manual process. Conclusion: A positive relationship was found between productivity and automation of CMEs. The automated ones proved to be more productive than the exclusively manual ones, even when comparing similar hospital sizes. The automation of the cleaning process should be promoted, as it positively reflects on productivity not only in numbers but also in the guarantee of reproducible results.
