Description
Summary:The healthcare sector's demand for a skilled workforce necessitates effective management of internship and residency programs. This study introduces the System for Managing the Health Internship Program (SIGEPS), aimed at addressing internship and residency management challenges in Joinville's municipal health network. The method of this study focused on developing a computational solution with applied and exploratory objectives. The research adopted a User-Centered Development approach, involving seven stages from scope determination to system implementation. Key stages included selecting Google's free technological tools, developing forms for information input, integrating these into a Google Sheets spreadsheet, and creating a website for schedule display. The primary result was the successful development of SIGEPS, which automated the process from initial requests to scheduling and analysis of healthcare institutions and displayed schedules online. The system offers several advantages over previous models, such as concurrent scheduling by multiple employees, process automation, enhanced information transparency, and improved efficiency with significant time savings. Future enhancements include integrating decision support systems and enabling data analysis reports through dashboards to further reduce scheduling efforts and enhance professional efficiency. This study demonstrates the feasibility of developing and implementing a free computational solution using the Google platform for managing internships and residencies in the healthcare sector.
