IntroductionThe Brazilian Network for Health Technology Assessment (REBRATS) is a network of collaborating centers and teaching and research institutions, focused on the generation and synthesis of scientific evidence in the field of health technology assessment. Currently, the network is composed of 119 member institutions and mobilizes approximately 1,094 researchers and 4,998 relations. The objective of this study was to evaluate the member institutions of REBRATS.MethodsThe evaluation process was developed in seven stages, including the identification of the objectives of the Network; identification of evaluation criteria; selection of performance indicators for each criterion; identification of the measures appropriate to each indicator; data collection and analysis; classification of the institutions and production of the final report.ResultsThe evaluation of the member institutions of REBRATS mapped the capacity of these institutions to produce health technology assessment activities. The evaluation also provided information on the advances and challenges of health technology assessment in the country. In the long term, the initiative will contribute to the strengthening of the evaluation of health technology in Brazil, since the weaknesses of these institutions in the development of activities were mapped.ConclusionsThe production of this study will contribute to the dissemination of the evaluation methodology at the national and international level. This study is one of the few initiatives that exist in the world on the evaluation of networks and will contribute to the strengthening of the evaluation of health technology in Brazil.

Due to the growing number of outbreaks of infection in hospital and nurseries, it becomes essential to set up a sanitation program that indicates that the appropriate chemical agent was chosen for application in the most effective way. Validating the effectiveness of decontamination and disinfection is an important and often challenging task. In order to study and compare the behavior of selected microorganisms, they were submitted to minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). The MIC intervals, which reduced bacteria populations over 6 log10, were: 59 to 156 mg/L of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs); 63 to 10000 mg/L of chlorhexidine; 1375 to 3250 mg/L of glutaraldehyde; 39 to 246 mg/L of formaldehyde; 43750 to 87500 mg/L of ethanol; 1250 to 6250 mg/L of iodine in polyvinyl-pyrolidone complexes, 150 to 4491 mg/L of chlorine-releasing-agents (CRAs) and 469 to 2500 mg/L of hydrogen peroxide. Chlorhexidine showed non inhibitory activity over germinating spores. A. calcoaceticus showed resistance to the majority of the agents tested, followed by E. cloacae and S. marcescens.
