Work Process in Primary Health Care: evaluation of management

ABSTRACT

This research has developed and implemented an evaluation model of the management of the work process in Primary Health Care in municipalities of Santa Catarina, using the data of the second cycle of the external evaluation of the National Program for Access and Quality Improvement in Primary Care. The rated universe corresponded to 91.9% of the municipalities of Santa Catarina that, mostly, achieved satisfactory outcomes on structural conditions for the working process. However, there are great challenges to ensure the necessary conditions for the realization of procedural aspects, in particular, on the continuity of care and on the work organization.
