Sistemas de Informação em Saúde: possibilidades e desafios

This study aims to reflect on the use of Health Information Systems, its concepts, possibilities and challenges that emerge from their inclusion in health institutions. For that, we proceeded to the critical reading of various information sources that treat it. From the theoretical work done on this, it was found that the health information systems have provided important implications for the daily work of professionals in this sector. These implications can be translated into contributions, challenges and possibilities of praxis informational discussion on health. Anyway, it appears that the integration of these systems in the workplace can promote, in general, major changes related to the decision process of health workers, setting up as a supporting tool in this process

Percepção dos enfermeiros gestores da atenção primária sobre o processo de enfermagem

OBJECTIVE this qualitative study aimed to analyze the perceptions of primary health care management nurses on the nursing process. METHOD data were collected through interviews and analyzed by the Content Analysis proposed by Bardins theoretical framework. RESULTS managers recognize the importance of the nursing process, although its implementation was not a priority at the time of the interviews. A conceptual difficulty and a lack of understanding that the implementation of the care methodology should be a cross-departmental action in the local healthcare management were clearly observed. CONCLUSION managers should have their perspectives broadened concerning the relevance of the nursing process and the professional training. The active participation of legislative nursing bodies, local healthcare management and the federal government may open the way for the effective implementation of the nursing process.

Grupo técnico de informação em saúde e populações: contribuições para a política nacional de informação e informática em saúde

Estudo de abordagem qualitativa que teve como objetivo identificar e analisar as contribuicoes do Grupo Tecnico de Informacao em Saude e Populacoes (GTISP) para a construcao da Politica Nacional de Informacao e Informatica em Saude (PNIIS). Desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa documental a partir dos relatorios das oficinas de trabalho do GTISP, no âmbito dos Congressos Brasileiros de Saude Coletiva, no periodo de 1992 a 2013. Apos a analise preliminar, procedeu-se a Analise de Conteudo dos documentos. Verificou-se que o GTISP tem contribuido para a construcao da PNIIS propondo: a valorizacao do entono socio-cultural que envolve a politica de informacao; a necessidade de construir uma politica de informacao para a area de forma coletiva, plural, pactuada e gerida de forma colegiada; o resgate da informacao como um direito de todos e a necessidade de romper com o modelo de gestao da informacao hegemonico no Brasil; a definicao de planos diretores com vistas a suplantar as dificuldades reconhecidas no campo da informacao e informatica em saude. Conclui-se que apesar das contribuicoes do GTISP para a construcao da politica de informacao em saude, a mesma ainda nao foi legitimada. E preciso avancar em sua definicao e reconhecimento em todas as esferas de governo, bem como no locus assistencial.

Fragilidades da conservação de vacina nas Unidades de Atenção Primária à Saúde

OBJECTIVE assessment through qualitative approach of vaccine storage in Primary Healthcare Centers. METHOD assessment study of qualitative approach in which 30 interviews were conducted with nurses, nursing technicians or assistants and technical reference in immunization, in 12 vaccine rooms that had 100% of the structural criteria evaluated. Recorded testimonials of the subjects were organized and analyzed using thematic Content Analysis. RESULTS the assessment pointed to absence of knowledge on the parts of nurses and nursing technicians and assistants with respect to the effects of low temperature on vaccines. Barriers were also encountered in relation to the supervision of nurses in the vaccine room activities and in relation to the knowledge needed by workers to care for preservation of vaccines. CONCLUSION vaccine storage is inadequate and may compromise the quality of the immunobiologicals dispensed to the populace.

Normativas emergem em paralelo para regulamentar acoes de informacao e informatica em saude. A participacao da populacao na construcao desta politica e a convergencia das leis, normas, resolucoes e instâncias para a formulacao de uma politica comum, reconhecida, legitimada e implementada sao desafios, bem como articulacao entre o publico e o privado. Conclui-se que o panorama da PNIIS no cenario nacional avanca lentamente, predominantemente em debates teoricos, revisoes e atualizacoes. Ha muitos desafios para sua implementacao e prevalece a necessidade de legitimacao.The This qualitative study aimed to analyze the development and implementation of the Brazilian National Policy on Health Data and Information Technology (NPIIH). We analyzed documents and applied an online questionnaire to the experts involved in developing the policy. The data were submitted to content analysis using the categorical thematic modality. The PNIIS is the target of debate and proposals at various levels. Provisions have appeared in parallel to regulate measures on health data and information technology. Community participation in developing this policy and the convergence of laws, standards, resolutions, and policy-making levels in a common and broadly acknowledged and enforced policy are challenges, in addition to linking the public and private sectors. The study concludes that the National Policy on Health Data and Information Technology is making gradual progress, predominantly in theoretical debates, revisions, and updates. There are numerous challenges for its implementation and a prevailing need for legitimation.

PERCEPÇÕES DE ESTUDANTES DE ENFERMAGEM SOBRE EDUCAÇÃO A DISTÂNCIA

Objetivo: Analizar la percepcion de los estudiantes de Enfermeria de una institucion de educacion superior en el uso de la educacion a distancia. Metodo: Se trata de un estudio con un enfoque cualitativo. Se entrevisto a 12 estudiantes de licenciatura de Enfermeria de una institucion publica de educacion superior. Los datos recogidos fueron organizados y analizados mediante el analisis de contenido. Resultados: Se encontro que los estudiantes de enfermeria ya tienen experiencias variadas en relacion con la educacion a distancia, que permite la busqueda del conocimiento, el desarrollo profesional y la actualizacion. Identificaron facilidades en relacion a la educacion a distancia, tales como la flexibilidad horaria, reduccion de costos, desplazamiento y el estimulo de autoa-prendizaje. Sin embargo, destacaron dificultades relacionadas con cuestiones tecnicas, sobrecarga de actividades y dificultades en el ejercicio de su autonomia. La ausencia de un proceso de capacitacion sistematica para el manejo de las tecnologias en la educacion a distancia fue otro punto planteado por los encuestados. Conclusion: Enfermeria ha encontrado en la educacion a distancia posibilidades de avances en el conocimiento, mejora en la busqueda de informacion y desarrollo de la profesion. Sin embargo, deben ser superarados desafios, como la necesidad de mejorar la tecnologia en si misma, un proceso de formacion sistematica y continua, asi como el desarrollo de la autonomia en los procesos de ensenanza y aprendizaje.
