Abstract

The Health Information Systems are important to the knowledge of the epidemiological profile of a population in a defined territory and time. Subsidize the decision-making and facilitate the evaluation and development of programs for disease prevention and health promotion. This is an epidemiological investigation was a descriptive exploratory analyzed data from the SIS / HiperDia the city of Betim / MG in the period January 2002 to January 2011 available at Datasus. The results indicated that there appears to be deficiencies in the integration and processing such information in Datasus municipality which does not allow the use of this information system satisfactorily. Important information gaps in the SIS-Hiperdia can compromise the health care management to patients with diseases of Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus effectively. Also, do not seem to match the expected epidemiological reality that contributes to a configuration of these disease in the city away from its actual Impact on health services. We conclude, therefore, that some changes must be made in the information system in Betim / MG, so that processes are established audit and evaluation of information systems and processes to achieve greater coordination between levels of government.
