Abstract

The literature on organ transplantation shows the consolidation of the success of this motivation as the growing demand for treatment, which however is not supplied, since the number of donated organs is insufficient. This shortage of organs also increases the importance of better use of donations. The current Transplant Center of the system of Sao Paulo State needs improvement in the ergonomic and technological aspect, because the organizational ergonomics improves job performance by reducing errors, setting standards for the organizational strategy. This study, with exploratory objective and qualitative approach aims to apply reengineering the Transplant Center of the transplant process, contributing to organizational ergonomics, adapting the selection process and the creation of distribution processes for medical personnel and the process receptor.

The second under construction, aims to map the location of the receiver for the distance and travel time to the transplantation of these sites are evaluated before execution of the receptor to be transplanted. At the end of this exploratory research was found the reengineering process benefited the organizational ergonomics in order to increase productivity by sending the data to medical personnel, assisting the decision-making process. It is believed that the productivity, use of the body will be increased with the transmission of data and confirmation by the medical staff and the transplant process will be optimized as the active participation of the receiver and its location by the team, reducing the time resource allocation.
