Hospitals are fundamental to society due to their socioeconomic function, especially, for promoting health in all senses. However, they face a shortage of administrative management, aggregated values with quality, and so on. One of the issues that stands out in the business management dynamics, that seeks to add sustainable competitive advantages and values, is the logistics, despite being a relatively unexplored area. In this context, the objective of this study was to identify the stage of logistics and its organizational arrangement in a hospital organization. To this end, an exploratory-qualitative approach followed by a bibliographical one and a case study were used, aiming at structuring the knowledge of logistics. Data collection was performed through documentary research and semi-structured interviews. The results enabled to determine changes in the organizational structure of the hospital, contemplating the logistics dimension, and to identify that it reaches Stage 2 and it also highlights the barriers and facilitators of the adaptation process.
