Abstract

Objective: to identify improvement through risk management applied to the acquisition and distribution processes of NPH human insulins. Method: The study was carried out in stages: in the 1st moment, meetings were held (Brainstorming) and in the 2nd moment, an electronic form was elaborated in the form of a questionnaire, showing the risk “events” with the weights inherent to the probability and impact they generated the risk inherent in the acquisition and distribution processes of NPH and Regular human insulins by the Ministry of Health. Results: Considering the processes, there was a higher incidence of medium risks. No very low risk was indicated, no extreme risk was identified and only 02 (two) high risks were presented. Conclusion: The risk management of the aforementioned study is an improvement tool for the processes of acquisition and distribution of NPH and Regular human insulins by the Ministry of Health.
