Instrumento avaliativo dos macroprocessos básicos da atenção primária à saúde sob a perspectiva da planificação da atenção à saúde

Abstract

Joining efforts to organize and qualify Primary Health Care, the Health Planning project, developed by the National Council of Health Secretaries, is developed. Planning proposes the construction of knowledge, providing health workers with tools and concepts. Method: elaborate an instrument to assess the Basic Macroprocess of Primary Health Care, using as a reference the methodology proposed by the Health Care Planning. Results: the instrument was adapted and finalized with 86 questions distributed in eight thematic blocks, which were subdivided into three axes: Structure (24 questions), Processes (27 questions) and Results (34 questions). Discussion: the study sought to elaborate, in a participatory way, an Evaluation Instrument that may come to show the advances achieved by the Primary Health Care teams, starting from the need to measure the impacts that this has been causing in the Primary Health Care and health care networks organization in the region. Conclusions: the proposed instrument can be used as a support tool, so that teams can carry out their self-assessment in face of the processes triggered by the Health Care Planning in Primary Health Care.
