Resumo
The changes and transformations in the different areas of knowledge have been happening in an evident way, demanding from the information professional new functions and professional activities in the labor market. Among the fields of action, the health area is highlighted as a scientific field that requires informational subsidies for health care and for directing the clinical team in the diagnosis of patients and in decision-making. Therefore, the objective of the research is to address how information management, considered an essential activity of the information professional, can contribute to the activities and decision processes in the context of the health area. For this, a review of the literature on the topics addressed was carried out in order to draw up bibliographical discussions of the study. The discussions demonstrate that once contemporary organizations recognize the value of information within the organizational context, move away from theory and actually accept and apply these scenarios, the so-called information and knowledge society can develop and give a further step towards its evolution. As final considerations, it is justified that the information professional becomes a fundamental element in the health area, capable of causing, through the insertion and maintenance of Information Management, internal improvements in the activities and decision-making of health organizations, which also reflect in the increase of the quality of the services provided to the community.
