Planejamento estratégico situacional: intervenção em saúde de pacientes diabéticos e obesos numa cidade do interior de Minas Gerais

Abstract

The intervention project aims to develop a strategic program to improve the identification, intervention, control, and prognosis of overweight and obese diabetic patients enrolled in the Santo Antônio Primary Health Unit (UBS), located in São Geraldo, Minas Gerais. The methodological approach adopted is situational strategic planning in health, addressing the problem situation identified from the author’s perspective, based on the observation of complicating factors and the organization of different strategies to address and propose solutions to improve health outcomes. It is expected that a significantly high prevalence of overweight and obese diabetic individuals will be identified within the population assigned to the territory, as well as to encourage communication within the multidisciplinary team and develop routines for reassessing previously established goals. Based on the expected results, the need for organizational and management changes within the municipal primary care system was identified. It is suggested that adjustments be made to the healthcare flow, allowing primary care to act as the main coordinator of care, proposing the creation of scheduled and walk-in medical appointment shifts, and promoting multiprofessional communication to optimize lasting lifestyle changes among patients.
