ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to evaluate the implementation of Rede Mãe Paranaense (Mother Network of the State of Paraná) in three Health Regions (RS) in the State of Paraná: the 9th, 10th and 17th ones. The research assessed their implementation also before (2010, 2011) as after (2012, 2013) it carrying out. We opted for documental data collection that applied a validated form encompassing five domains and whose average resulted in the Evaluative Index (IA). From this IA, values above the score 70 were considered adequate, while those below were considered inadequate. The 10th RS presented the best IA after the Rede deployment, followed by the 17th, while the 9th RS did not reach adequate values, showing the need to improve the Rede structure, mainly concerning to the professional's qualification with regard to information systems.
