RESOLUTION CFM No. 2,469, OF AUGUST 13, 2026

Amends Resolution CFM No. 2,171/2017, which regulates the Death Review Committees.

The rule establishes, among other points:

mandatory committees in all hospital establishments and emergency care units, whether public, private or philanthropic;

multidisciplinary composition with at least five members and a majority of physicians;

review of deaths occurring during hospitalization and those occurring within the first 24 hours after admission;

identification of systemic failures, care bottlenecks and weaknesses in protocols;

preparation of recommendations and action plans to improve quality and prevent adverse events;

a two-year term for members; and

an educational and quality-improvement nature, with the punitive use of reports, minutes and opinions against professionals prohibited.

Analysis: the rule has a direct operational effect on private hospitals, including those owned by vertically integrated operators, and an indirect effect on provider network hospitals.

It is recommended to assess the compliance of owned hospitals and, depending on the contractual model and care governance model adopted, to monitor the adaptation of hospital providers in the network. Implementation may require a review of committee composition, formalization of terms, definition of review workflows, and adaptation of governance procedures and protection of the information produced. The resolution does not, by itself, create a new care coverage obligation for operators.
