RDC 330 in practice

Abstract

Medical radiology has social and academic relevance because it is a specialty that uses different types of radiation for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. It requires a multidisciplinary team that is attentive to the changing guidelines imposed by the government. The rules are presented and enforced by the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) and the State and Municipal Health Surveillance (VISA). Currently, the ANVISA standard that regulates radiodiagnostic clinics is Collegiate Board Resolution 330 (RDC) and Normative Instructions (INs) 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96 and 97, which dictate the rules of operation of the clinic in general and each equipment in particular. In this work, we evaluated the implementation of this new resolution, through a qualitative study, with the following procedures: interviews, analysis, comparison of results, and direct observation in 05 magnetic resonance centers of the private hospital network of the metropolitan region of Fortaleza. A question that the work intends to try to answer: Given the data collected, what will be the possible initial, medium and long-term impacts of the implementation of these Ins.
