What instituto de gestao e inovacao da saude igis does

Instituto de Gestão e Inovação da Saúde (IGIS) is a Brazilian private non-profit association (associação privada sem fins lucrativos) founded on December 14, 2004, in Vila Velha, Espírito Santo, originally as Instituto Meridional and rebranded to its current name on October 17, 2018. The organization operates as a Social Health Organization (Organização Social de Saúde) and provides shared management of public emergency healthcare units under Brazil's unified health system (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS). Its service offering spans four interconnected pillars: administration of healthcare units, qualified personnel contracting with continuous training, transparent public fund accountability, and 100% free patient care delivery. Currently IGIS operates UPA Zilda Arns (UPA Riviera da Barra) in Vila Velha since December 2021, having previously managed PA da Glória (2015-2025) and PA do Trevo in Cariacica (2019-2022).

IGIS's technical stack consists primarily of third-party healthcare infrastructure rather than proprietary technology. Implementations include the MV Soul hospital information system (a market-leading HIS in Brazil) for electronic medical records and operational management, the Manchester Triage Protocol for risk-based patient prioritization, an electronic accountability reporting system (Sistema Eletrônico de Prestação de Contas) for public fund transparency, a computerized patient satisfaction survey achieving over 85% satisfaction rates, and centralized medical gas distribution infrastructure. The organization holds Social Health Organization qualifications at the state level in Espírito Santo and at the municipal level in four jurisdictions (Vila Velha, Cariacica, Serra, and Viana), enabling it to bid on government management contracts.

IGIS generates revenue exclusively through government contracts awarded via competitive public procurement processes (licitações) with municipal and state health secretariats. There is no direct patient billing - services are provided free of charge to SUS users - and a secondary legacy revenue stream comes from healthcare consulting services to private institutions. End customers are municipal health departments; ultimate beneficiaries are SUS users served at the managed physical facilities. The organization's customer base has narrowed materially, with two of three historically managed units no longer under IGIS operation, leaving a single client relationship with the Prefeitura Municipal de Vila Velha as the current revenue anchor.
