22.05.2025

On May 26, 2025, at 02:30 PM, PhD candidate Ricardo Gamarski from the Doctoral Program in Industrial Engineering will present her Thesis Plan Proposal in Meeting Room 4.32, Building VIII.

The thesis, titled “Integrated Management System for Patient Safety Information in the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS): A Design Science Approach” proposes a comprehensive and integrated model to manage patient safety information within the SUS, aiming to improve healthcare quality and promote a culture of safety. It applies a Design Science methodology to ensure the solution is both practical and scientifically grounded, enhancing decision-making and reducing risks in public health management. 

The research is being supervised by Prof. Dr. Luís Velez Lapão, from IHMT – Universidade Nova de Lisboa; Prof. Dr. Ana Sofia Matos, from NOVA FCT ; Prof. Dr. Leila Gottem, from Escola Superior de Ciências da Saúde de Brasília,  whose combined expertise in health systems, information management, and patient safety provides essential support in the development of a robust and impactful model. 

This presentation marks an important step in Ricardo Gamarski’s academic journey, providing an opportunity to discuss innovative methodologies and gather valuable feedback from peers and specialists.
