Abstract

It approaches the organization of legal knowledge from the perspective of the terminological complexity present in health information and its impact on communication between professionals, patients, and legal practitioners. It aims to analyze the terminological complexity present in health information, as well as how the Knowledge Organization contributes, through its tools, to reducing ambiguity between the knowledge domains of Health and Law. Methodologically, it constitutes descriptive research of a bibliographic-documentary nature and qualitative approach. Data collection encompassed the analysis of legislation, ethical norms, and scientific literature from the fields of Information Science, Health, and Law, related to health information management. The results indicate regulation by the legislated environment in health, not that it concerns the access, protection and sharing of information in health. Information Science, through the knowledge organization, allows the structuring combination of two documentary contents. It is concluded that there is a terminological complexity in information in health when shared with the legal environment, therefore, tools from the organization of knowledge can establish mediações documents that favor the recovery, contextualization and interpretation of contents in health in the legal context.
