Os sistemas de saúde visam a prevenção de doenças, promoção, assistência e recuperação da saúde da população. As preocupações gerais de saúde em um país são usualmente relevantes por se tratar de um direito do cidadão e pela necessidade de eficiência e qualidade na prestação do atendimento. Diante das dificuldades enfrentadas com as restrições de verbas e má administração, ocasionado principalmente por crise política econômica de um país, aumento da taxa de envelhecimento e complexidade do setor, torna-se importante diminuir os desperdícios e melhorar os processos nesta área. Este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre operações em logística hospitalar. Para tanto, pretende-se discutir a metodologia da revisão bibliográfica e analisar os resultados obtidos por meio de quatro bases de dados on-line, Web of Science, Science Direct, Emerald Insight e Scopus. Como resultado, os pesquisadores e gestores que trabalham no segmento da saúde terão uma síntese do estado da arte da logística hospitalar, com abordagens do uso da gestão lean, modelos computacionais, teoria das restrições, contratação de serviços de terceiros, armazenamento de materiais em redes, fluxo de pacientes, utilização de rôbos móveis, armários eletrônicos, RFID e tecnologia da informação, dentre outros.Palavras-chave: Operações. Saúde. Logística.ABSTRACTHealth systems aim at disease prevention, health promotion, care and recovery of the population. General health concerns in a country are usually relevant because it is a citizen's right and the need for efficiency and quality in care delivery. Faced with the difficulties faced by budget constraints and maladministration, caused mainly by a country's economic crisis, increasing the aging rate and complexity of the sector, it is becoming increasingly important to reduce waste and improve processes in this area. This paper aims to conduct a systematic review of the literature on hospital logistics in operations. To do so, we intend to discuss the methodology of the bibliographic review and analyze the results obtained through four online data base, Web of Science, Science Direct, Emerald Insight and Scopus. As a result, researchers and managers working in the health sector will have a art state synthesis of hospital logistics, with lean management approaches, computational models, constraint theory, contracting outsourced services, materials storage in networks, patients flow, use of mobile robotics, electronic cabinets, RFID and information technology, among others.Keywords: Operations.

The aim of this review is to identify and provide a structured overview of quantitative models in the pharmaceutical supply chain, a subject not exhaustively studied in the previous reviews on healthcare logistics related mostly to quantitative models in healthcare or logistics studies in hospitals. The models are classified into three categories of classification: network design, inventory models, and optimization of a pharmaceutical supply chain. A taxonomy for each category is shown describing the principal features of each echelon included in the review; this taxonomy allows the readers to identify easily a paper based on the actors of the pharmaceutical supply chain. The search process included research articles published in the databases between 1984 and November 2016. In total 46 studies were included. In the review process we found that in the three fields the most common source of uncertainty used is the demand in the 56% of the cases. Within the review process we can conclude that most of the articles in the literature are focused on the optimization of the pharmaceutical supply chain and inventory models but the field on supply chain network design is not deeply studied.

“…Thinking of medicines as digital artefacts can offer powerful means to control time and place — to position medicines at the time and place when they are needed (eg, in the warehouse, in the automated dispensing machine, on the drug trolley, ready for patient discharge), and to monitor the timeliness of activities (eg, dispensing, transport, administration). This can serve in process improvements and potentially cash-saving efficiencies, including in the management of logistics and supply chains 6. The ability to better account for temporality of the artefact may also lead to the design and implementation of better software with interfaces and decision support that confidently draw on temporal data.…”
