Análise estratégica do Projeto QualiSUS-Rede: contribuições para avaliação em saúde pública

ABSTRACT

QualiSUS-Network sought to qualify management and health care by means of organization of health networks. The objective of our study is to analyze the process of formulation and implementation of QualiSUS-Network related to management. This is a qualitative study, on a documentary basis. Strategic analysis was used, by considering its three dimensions: relevance of the problem prioritized; relevance of the proposed objectives and solutions; relevance of partnerships. Strategic analysis was used in a hybrid way together with the theory of change considering its three axes: chain of results and its conditioners, operation mode and interactions among actors. A timeline of QualiSUS-Network was also developed, identifying critical events. As a result, it was verified that QualiSUS-Network achieved relevance in the three dimensions of the strategic analysis. However, the evidences point out that, in future interventions, the following barriers need to be observed: i) the streamlining of institutional times; ii) the weakness of the institutional model for monitoring and evaluation; iii) difficulty of the bodies involved with risk management, especially those originating from government transitions. The use of multiple methodological strategies, based on the intervention theory, considering the chain of outcomes and causalities, have proved to be potent in explaining the theory and management model in the QualiSUS-Network.
