Ampliação da Atenção Prestada aos Pacientes Hipertensos e Diabéticos na USF Povoado Rua da Palha na Zona Rural do Município de Santa Luzia do Itanhi em Sergipe

Abstract

Primary Health Care is based on actions aimed at promotion, prevention, protection, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, harm reduction, palliative care and health surveillance. Its financing, guided by the Previne Brasil Program, consists of: weighted capitation; pay for performance; financial incentive based on population criteria; and encouragement for strategic actions. Among the performance indicators, those related to the monitoring and control of Systemic Arterial Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus stand out, due to the high prevalence of these chronic non-communicable diseases and the low level of achievement of the goals of the aforementioned indicators. Based on the above, the present work aims to implement an intervention project to expand the care provided to hypertensive and diabetic patients at USF Povoado Rua da Palha in the rural area of the Municipality of Santa Luzia do Itanhi in Sergipe. Finally, it is expected to find the implementation of an intervention project that would provide an improvement in the quality of life of these patients, with a reduction in morbidity and mortality, would favor the creation of a link with the health service, would promote the longitudinality of care and would contribute to increasing values of federal funding.
