Abstract

The existence of a few indicators that could guide the evaluation of oral health surveillance in the primary health care attention, mainly in adolescence life cycle, raised the realization of this study. To develop indicators to this end, it was conducted: document analysis to guide the development of a logic model and selection of data to compose indicators. This selection and validation of the logic model were performed by a group of four experts that, from the perspective of the modified Delphi method, analyzed if the model illustrated the activities, results and expected impact of a primary oral health service to enable the adolescents oral health surveillance and assigned points (0-10) to each data proposed. Then, those data judged important by the consensus of experts (média≥7; standard deviation <3) were used to construct indicators. After individual analysis and group discussions, the logical model and 36 of the 48 data, initially proposed, were consensually important, resulting in 26 indicators. The indicators matrix intends to be a situational diagnostic tool to assess, plan and manage health actions to adolescents, but it can be used in other life cycles by its adaptation.

Highlights

  • The purpose of the Health Information Systems (SUS) is to assess the territorys health situation to support better decisions for health policy, planning, management, monitoring and evaluation of health programs; quantify/determine the volume of financial resources to be transferred to each service; as well as support epidemiological analysis and assessment[1,2,3].there are critical points regarding to some SIS in Brazil that need to be overcome in order for these SIS achieve their purpose

  • The SISBA aims to constitute a situational diagnosis tool for the planning and programming of health actions aimed at teenagers, but with a good adaptation can subsidize the construction of systems to other life cycles

  • The health surveillance constitutes a model of analysis that uses the territory as a space of reference, highlighting the importance to consider the heterogeneity of the population as to their needs and access to health services[23]

Summary

Introduction

There are critical points regarding to some SIS in Brazil that need to be overcome in order for these SIS achieve their purpose One of these nodes is the limitation of offer information needed by managers to guide priority actions due to biologists and fragmented vision about the health/disease process, still hegemonic within the SIS. This reflected in the predominance of[1,2,3,4,5] disease indicators In this way, overcoming the limitations of the information must resound the ressignification of health where are present other dimensions including indicators that signals the real situation of the studied territory regarding the health-disease process. The indicators related to issues that permeate National Health Humanization Policy (PNH) enable size changes in health-disease frameworks, and include issues involved in the health work process[6]
