Abstract: The judicialization of health in Brazil, through legal actions to guarantee access to medicines and health services, complicates health policies and serves different interests. Accurately accounting for these actions is challenging, highlighting divergences between data sources. Analysis of data from Minas Gerais reveals significant numbers, but highlights challenges in classifying and standardizing information. Research showed that, with data mining techniques and standardization of the definition of health processes, it is possible to move in this direction. Tools like JUDJe promise to improve understanding of the judicialization of health, facing technological, privacy and security challenges. It is concluded that there is a need to widely incorporate these tools and standardize matters, to benefit the management of the health sector throughout Brazil.
