Abstract

Objective: to identify the scientific evidence, available in the literature, about the strategies for the bed management process in hospitals. Method: this is an integrative review, based on Scopus, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Web of Science and Medline/PubMed databases, including articles published between 2016 and 2022, using specific search strategies for each base. Of the studies found, 14 were selected for analysis. Results: Strategies for the bed management process in hospitals cover the following general themes: simulation modeling techniques; implementation of internal management of hospital beds and use of information systems. Conclusion: The strategies suggested for the bed management process have the main intention of helping managers in decision-making, considering that the theme encompasses a set of highly complex processes.
