Análise do perfil de atendimento na atenção primária no município de Ouro Preto Minas Gerais

Abstract

This study aims at analyzing the profile of attendance in primary care in the city of Ouro Preto-MG through PMA4 Information System (SIAB) reports. It also seeks to verify whether after a year of implementation of the FHP (Family Health Program) in Ouro Preto the new assistance model actually generated new health practices focusing on organized demand, or still remains the traditional doctor-centered hegemonic method, focused in sickness and in spontaneous demand. This quantitative approach study is inserted in the field of evaluation of health services and was developed through secondary data collected in the Ouro Preto Health Department Data Processing Centre - DPC. The study was developed from January to December 2009. After collecting the data, the PMA4 files were analyzed and the variables were studied. The data revealed that the activities of greater emphasis on FHP are those related to individual care / dressing (medical consultations, nursing professionals and individual level) to the detriment of care aimed at prevention and health promotion. It was concluded that the health model implemented in Ouro Preto through FHP is focused on disease and spontaneous demand and not in the prevention or organized and scheduled demand as proposed by the new health model.
