O sistema de informação de atenção básica SIAB no Programa de Saúde da Família PSF

Abstract

The object of this dissertation is the study of data from the system of Basic Attention Information - SIAB, within the Program of Family Health in the city of Teresina -Pi, which were assessed in the 1998 - March 2001 period. This work has been carried out based on inherent theoretical references, which enabled the exposition and apprehension of conjunctural concepts and factors which have been affecting the use and fragmentation of the System of Health Information, such a segmentation interfering with the process of establishing these systems causing them to have a performance which is inadequate and insufficient o meet the demands of the population. The methodology utilized was semi-structured interview, applied in 20% of program teams and in 23% of focal groups of patients of communities served by this program and families enrolled in PSF. The methods utilized were very proper, considering that quality, rather than quantity, emphasis was placed on surveyed elements, particularly the communities. The work cares to high-light the relevance of the use of information and, more particularly, health information as a decisive factor in determining the change in the epidemiological profile and helping the construction of a collective sanitary awareness, seeking the effective practice of citizenship.
