Abstract

Objective: to demonstrate how to formulate questions in the field of lawsuits in health care sector and how to seek evidence from the scientific literature to better instruct processes. Methods: review of articles referring to the field of systematization of scientific research for decision making and characterization of existing question options and relevant databases. Results: There are four methods for elaborating a structured question containing information on Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcomes, with the acronyms PICO, SPIDER, SPICE, ECLIPSE the most used. The formulation of the question more that adequately subsidizes the search in the different types of bases of the literature. These bases may be of synthesis studies and systematic reviews; bases of the general literature; specific scientific technical production bases; databases considered gray literature and bases of guides and clinical guidelines. Conclusion: the use of scientific evidence has become increasingly necessary for lawsuits in health care sector requiring the practice of asking questions to seek answers in the scientific literature to instruct judicial processes in the field of health.
