To meet the demand of health services, especially related to orthopaedics and traumatology, health managers are facing increasing challenges and insufficient resources worldwide, causing deterioration of cases and increasing the number of sequels that add to a greater demand for medium and high complexity procedures. This study was motivated by the need to analyze consistently the composition and performance of health and related professionals to a full function of a high complex health facility in orthopedics and traumatology. It aims to contribute to the methodology development, knowledge dissemination and importance of workforce staffing of complex health institutions, as well as an opportunity to test and disseminate the method of workload indicators for staffing needs and its importance for the human resources in health planning and management. The project was developed in 3, sequentially and complementary studies. Initially, a literature review of the human resources for health (HRH) staffing was made, seeking to reduce the gap of models and methodologies, as well as contribute to the design and use of service delivery organizational models and to ensure health services supply with quality and safety. Afterwards, a case study was done, at the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics (INTO)/Ministry of Health (MS), using quantitative methodology and direct observation approach to estimate the time on the activities carried out by the physicians to measure the time spent in each of their activities during predetermined time intervals. Subsequently, the results from the case study were applied to a computerized instrument to estimate the workload indicators of staff needs, testing and checking the results with the methodology promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO). The results of the workload analysis and estimation of health workers staffing can support and guide the policies development and implementation for improving the quality and productivity of health services. The results showed that there is no shortage of medical professionals in all three groups, making it imperative to conduct some cross-examinations regarding the surgical production versus entry in the queue.
