Uso de software para visualização de dados em análises sobre assistência oncológica no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS)

Abstract

This work is an experience report that describes the development of a management tool through the use of data visualization software for the production and dissemination of cancer information in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Specifically, the work was developed within the scope of the 4th Regional Health Coordination (4aCRS) of RS, through a project of conclusion of Multiprofessional Residency in Health of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM). The data source was the SUS Outpatient Information System (SIASUS), based on its Authorization for High Complexity Procedures in oncology subsystem, called in this work of APACOnco. State chemotherapy and radiotherapy data, approved in the year 2016, were used to convert and integrate the monthly files. After that, through the chosen software, panels were created to present the information grouped in "Cancer cases", "New cases of cancer" and "Production" that show, respectively, information on the profile of the population treated, characteristics of the new cases and the number of procedures performed, including the financiai amounts used for this purpose. The developed management instrument is an important supplementary tool for the production and dissemination of information related to cancer cases treated in reference UPS from SUS in the state of RS. However, strategies for automatic updating are still needed.
