Use of e-SUS reports for Primary Health Care in the work routine of Family Health teams

Abstract

The objective was to analyze the use of e-SUS Primary Health Care reports in the work routine of Family Health teams (eSF) in the Federal District (DF). This is a descriptive study of data from the on-site Assessment and Quality Action Plan of the 1st evaluation cycle of the Primary Health Care Qualification Program, between 2021 and 2022. All 607 teams were included. Associations between Health Regions were identified using Chi-square tests, p-value < 0.05. To quantify problems and actions, Data Mining techniques were used. The majority of eSFs in the DF denied using any e-SUS APS report in their work routine (53.23%). The reports that the eSF used most were production reports (54.43%), and management reports the least (31.60%). The regions with the highest proportion of use were Central-South (73.67%), and with the lowest, Southwest (34.56%), p < 0.0001. Some of the main problems described were intrinsic to e-SUS APS (errors, failures, system instability and lack of unification) and others were related to extrinsic issues (lack of knowledge, inconsistency and lack of registration). The teams listed in their Action Plans, as a priority, the training for correct use of the information system.
