Authors used the qualitative and quantitative techniques to obtain information including documentary review, interviews and survey. The main qualitative results were a good acceptation, flexibility and simplicity. The quantitative attributes not detected the patients really diseased, particularly the direct information system and the obligatory declaration of death system, qualified as inappropriate because of the figures under the established standard. At study here were some deficiencies in some of the evaluated attributes, thus, it is necessary to consider its solution and improvement.
