A AUTENTICIDADE E PRESERVAÇÃO DOS DOCUMENTOS ARQUIVÍSTICOS DIGITAIS EM SAÚDE NO CONTEXTO DA ESTRATÉGIA DE SAÚDE DIGITAL PARA O BRASIL 2020-2028

Abstract

The Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS) is responsible for providing information systems and IT support to collect, process, and disseminate health information and data, as this information plays a significant role in creating public policies and advancing science. With the integration of digital health into the Unified Health System (SUS), the Digital Health Strategy for Brazil 2020-2028 was proposed by the government to establish priorities and determine actions to implement technological tools within SUS. The objectives of this article are to identify the attributes that enable the authenticity and digital preservation of health information addressed in the Digital Health Strategy for Brazil 2020-2028. This is a multidisciplinary, exploratory, and descriptive study using a qualitative approach. The procedures included a bibliographic and documental review through elements of the systematic review technique and a research checklist instrument to gather information using 8 assertions on authenticity and digital preservation. It has been observed that the Digital Health Strategy for Brazil and the DATASUS portal do not demonstrate how these initiatives are being operationalized to ensure the authenticity and preservation of electronic health records (EHRs). It has been revealed that, despite the increased integration of digital health into SUS over the past decade, it is evident that enabling the authenticity and digital preservation of health information remains a challenge to be addressed and should be prioritized in government strategies.
