The participation of pharmaceutical assistance at the micro level of governance of a public teaching hospital of the SUS. A participação da assistência farmacêutica no nível micro da governança de um hospital público de ensino do SUS.

The objective is to identify how the participation of Pharmaceutical Assistance occurs at the micro level of governance in a public teaching hospital of the Unified Health System. This is a single, exploratory-descriptive case study, composed of multiple units of analysis. It was carried out in the first half of 2024, within the scope of the Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro of the Brazilian Hospital Services Company. The following were investigated: the characteristics of the scenario, the pharmaceutical assistance service and its participation in governance through the analysis of documents available on the hospital's official website. And, the results presented in a qualitative and quantitative way. According to the case description, it is a macro-regional reference hospital with high health complexity. In it, pharmaceutical assistance is included in governance by composing the institutional organization chart by a specific sector - Hospital Pharmacy Sector and two support units - Clinical Pharmacy Unit and Pharmaceutical Dispensing Unit. It has representation from the sector in: 60% of the total committees in force at the hospital, 39% of the Commissions and 24% of the technical working groups - which are consultative and deliberative spaces for organizational governance. Thus, pharmaceutical assistance is part of legitimizing hospital management actions, controlling costs, reducing errors, promoting quality of care and patient safety. Mainly integrating strategic management, risk management and internal control. Future research is recommended to evaluate the impacts of this participation on public hospital governance.
