Family Health Support Centers (Nasf ): strategic and logical analysis

Abstract

Professionals of the Family Health Support Centers (Nasf ) often have questions related to the techno-assistance model that supports these centers, indicating the need for investigations of their strategy and internal logic. Evaluative research was carried out using case study, participant observation, focus groups and documentary analysis. It was observed that Family Health Support Centers expand the scope of care and allow the incorporation of new knowledge by Primary Care teams, pertinent to their main strategies.
However, the relevance of strategic partnerships runs counter to the need for cooperation between the two teams that may not materialize or be partially done. The analysis of its functioning logic shows deadlocks in the effectiveness of professional collaboration and in the dilemma between acting as generalists or specialists in Primary Care.
