Abstract

Morro das Bicas is a community of about 4.800 people, located in the urban area of Raposos, in the state of Minas Gerais, where a Family Health Program team operates at Américo dos Reis Lopes Health Center. Their actions aim to attend in a regionalized, continuous and systematic way most of the health needs of the mentioned population. The notes related to the patients are taken on paper records and there is no appropriate computerization of the medical care provided to the patients within the assisted area. Therefore, it must be stressed the present need of a plan to create a socio-epidemiological and health profile database of the population registered at Américo dos Reis Lopes Health Center. For the execution of this plan, the software Microsoft Office Excel will be used and a database will be developed, contemplating social and health information. Besides, the database training for the health agents is recommended, as well as its insertion in their routine. There fore, the plan hopes to clarify the population’s health issues, possible diseases, its situation and the conditions the people may be submitted to, such as bedridden people, chronic diseases, pregnancy, the elderly, and drug or tobacco addiction - currently and continuously. The implementation of these systems in Américo dos Reis Lopes Health Center can lead to major changes related to the health team workflow, guiding decisions and actions, optimizing time and enhancing information that can be used in order to meet the real needs of the population, aiming the improvement of their health conditions and quality of life.
