Uma Análise Bibliométrica Sobre as Publicações do Periódico Qualis/capes: Trajetória da Produção Acadêmica Sobre Gestão de Custos em Hospitais Públicos

Abstract

The study on cost management is essential for the good strategic functioning of

companies and within the public sector it is no different, since the rational and well- applied use of resources brings cost benefit to the millions of taxpayers who use the

public health system. From this, the work aims to carry out a survey of national articles, published in journals that deal with cost management in this area, dealing directly with the measurement and decision making from the available data. The research selected productions registered between the years 2012 to 2022, naming the indexed journals, authors by publications, the authors' educational institutions and the frequency of this theme in academic works. Twenty-five articles taken from the Scielo and SPEEL platform were analyzed. The methodology used was metric analysis and the research is characterized as quantitative and descriptive at the same time. It was concluded that there are many studies focused on the topic of costs, however, when filtering for hospital management, published articles fall, limiting the research. Therefore, the importance of scientific initiation and the appreciation of the professional is emphasized, as academic production is of paramount importance for the social, intellectual and technological development of a country.
