ABSTRACT
O presente trabalho busca detalhar uma experiência pioneira de desenvolvimento de um sistema de informação em saúde voltado para subsidiar a gestão com base em evidências junto à atenção primária à saúde (APS). O processo de estruturação de programas e políticas públicas muitas vezes se dá sem acesso às melhores evidências científicas. Nesse contexto, o Sistema Integrado de Informações Mais Médicos (SIMM), aqui descrito, materializou um esforço para suprir a lacuna de informações para a gestão em saúde. Criado com objetivo de integrar os dados das principais fontes de informação relativas ao Projeto de Cooperação entre governo brasileiro e Organização Pan-Americana da Saúde/Organização Mundial da Saúde (OPAS/ OMS) para provimento de médicos no Programa Mais Médicos (PMM), o SIMM buscou otimizar a geração e a consolidação de informações que possam subsidiar decisões, além de apoiar o controle administrativo e financeiro. A experiência ilustra o desenvolvimento de uma solução auxiliar que pode ser ampliada para monitorar parâmetros de recursos humanos em saúde não apenas no PMM, mas na APS como um todo. A expertise desenvolvida criou condições para que o sistema pudesse ser configurado como um bem público, para além do suporte à gestão de um projeto em específico. O sistema pode ser adaptado e replicado em outros países das Américas para melhorar a disponibilidade e a qualidade das informações utilizadas por tomadores de decisão.(AU)
The present work provides details about a novel experience involving the development of a health information system focused on supporting evidence-based management at the primary health care (PHC) level. The process of structuring public health programs and policies is often developed without access to the best available scientific evidence. In this context, the proposed system (Sistema Integrado de Informações Mais Médicos, SIMM) materializes the effort to bridge the information gap for health management. Created with the aim of integrating data from the main information sources associated with the Cooperation Project between the Brazilian federal government and the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/ WHO) for provision of physicians for the More Doctors Program, SIMM strove to optimize the generation and consolidation of information to support decision-making, in addition to providing support for administrative and financial control. The experience illustrates the development of an ancillary solution that can be expanded to monitor human resources for health parameters across the entire PHC setting, far beyond the More Doctors Program. The resulting expertise created conditions for the system to be configured as a public asset, rather than being restricted to providing managerial support for a specific project. SIMM may be adapted and replicated in other American countries to improve the availability and quality of the information used by decision makers.(AU)
En el presente trabajo se detalla una experiencia pionera de desarrollo de un sistema de información de salud centrado en apoyar la gestión basada en la evidencia en el nivel de la atención primaria de salud. Muchas veces, el proceso de estructuración de los programas y políticas públicas se realiza sin acceso a las mejor evidencia científica. En ese contexto, el sistema integrado de información de Mais Médicos (SIMM) que se describe aquí materializó un esfuerzo para suplir la carencia de información para la gestión en materia de salud. El SIMM, creado con el objetivo de integrar los datos de las principales fuentes de información relativas al proyecto de cooperación entre el Gobierno del Brasil y la Organización Panamericana de la Salud/Organización Mundial de la Salud (OPS/OMS) para la provisión de médicos destinados al programa Más Médicos, se utilizó para optimizar la generación y consolidación de información a fin de sustentar las decisiones, además de servir de apoyo para el control administrativo y financiero. La experiencia ilustra el desarrollo de una solución complementaria que puede ampliarse para observar los parámetros de recursos humanos en salud no solo en el programa Más Médicos, sino en todo el ámbito de la atención primaria de salud. La pericia adquirida creó condiciones propicias para poder configurar el sistema como un bien público, con miras a ampliar su alcance más allá del apoyo a la gestión de un proyecto específico. Es posible adaptar y reproducir el sistema en otros países de la Región de las Américas para mejorar la disponibilidad y la calidad de la información utilizada por los responsables de tomar decisiones.(AU)

The present article describes the development of the initial version of the Brazilian Care Management Information System for the Home Care Network (SI GESCAD). This system was created to enhance comprehensive care, care coordination and the continuity of care provided to the patients, family and caretakers of the Home Care (HC) program. We also present a reflection on the contributions, limitations and possibilities of the SI GESCAD within the scope of the Home Care Network of the Brazilian Unified Health System (RAS-AD). This was a study on technology production based on a multi-method protocol. It discussed software engineering and human-computer interaction (HCI) based on user-centered design, as well as evolutionary and interactive software process (prototyping and spiral). A functional prototype of the GESCAD was finalized, which allowed for the management of HC to take into consideration the patient's social context, family and caretakers. The system also proved to help in the management of activities of daily living (ADLs), clinical care and the monitoring of variables associated with type 2 HC. The SI GESCAD allowed for a more horizontal work process for HC teams at the RAS-AD/SUS level of care, with positive repercussions on care coordination and continuity of care.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to review evaluation studies of nursing management information systems (NMISs) and their outcome measures to examine system effectiveness. METHODS: For the systematic review, a literature search of the PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted to retrieve original articles published between 1970 and 2014. Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms included informatics, medical informatics, nursing informatics, medical informatics application, and management information systems for information systems and evaluation studies and nursing evaluation research for evaluation research. Additionally, manag* and admin*, and nurs* were combined. Title, abstract, and full-text reviews were completed by two reviewers. And then, year, author, type of management system, study purpose, study design, data source, system users, study subjects, and outcomes were extracted from the selected articles. The quality and risk of bias of the studies that were finally selected were assessed with the Risk of Bias Assessment Tool for Non-randomized Studies (RoBANS) criteria. RESULTS: Out of the 2,257 retrieved articles, a total of six articles were selected. These included two scheduling programs, two nursing cost-related programs, and two patient care management programs. For the outcome measurements, usefulness, time saving, satisfaction, cost, attitude, usability, data quality/completeness/accuracy, and personnel work patterns were included. User satisfaction, time saving, and usefulness mostly showed positive findings. CONCLUSIONS: The study results suggest that NMISs were effective in time saving and useful in nursing care. Because there was a lack of quality in the reviewed studies, well-designed research, such as randomized controlled trials, should be conducted to more objectively evaluate the effectiveness of NMISs.

Inclusive, sufficient, precise and up to date information is necessary for planning in a health information system. Health Population Information Management System [HPIMS] is a system that collects, stores, retrieves, analyzes, interprets, and distributes health population information for prevention and treatment. The aim of this study was first; to compare Health Population Information Management System in health ministry, Iran statistics center, vital registry organization and United Nations, second, to propose a suitable model for Iran. This study was conducted to compare the features of Iran Health Population Information Management System with the United Nations standards. This was an applied cross-sectional study. The population included Iran Health Population Information Management Systems. The instruments of the study were a questionnaire and a cheek list. The data were collected through observation and an interview. The sources of information consisted of the staff, scientific documentation and the Internet. Criteria Rating Technique and descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. The findings showed an absence of timely, relevant, comprehensive and sufficient reporting in data registration system in Iran. Moreover, the organizations in charge of HPIMS had parallel functions which would lead to contradictory reports. Health Population Information, published by the Ministry of Health differed from that of Iran Statistics Center and other data registry organizations. Overall, HPIMS in the Ministry of Health was ranked as "very good" while the other organizations were ranked as "good". The findings suggest that the information systems can only influence decisions if they are relevant, trustworthy and available for decision makers. However, information systems in Iran are inadequate to satisfy the needs of management. Therefore, it seems necessary to reform and design a suitable model representing accountability of organizations in regard to their duties and workflow. It is also suggested to decrease parallel functions and resources through a sharing system

Trauma is a leading cause of death and disability around the world. Injuries are responsible for about six million deaths annually, of which ninety percent occur in developing countries. In Iran, injuries are the most common cause of death among age groups below fifty. Trauma system development is a systematic and comprehensive approach to injury prevention and treatment whose effectiveness has been proved. The present study aims at designing a trauma system management model as the first step toward trauma system establishment in Iran. In this qualitative research, a conceptual framework was developed based on the public health approach and three well-known trauma system models. We used Benchmarks, Indicators and Scoring [BIS] to analyze the current situation of Iran trauma care system. Then the trauma system management was designed using the policy development phase of public health approach The trauma system management model, validated by a panel of experts, describes lead agency, trauma system plan, policy-making councils, and data-based control according to the four main functions of management: leading, planning, organizing and controlling. This model may be implemented in two phases: the exclusive phase, focusing on resource integration and the inclusive phase, which concentrates on system development. The model could facilitate the development of trauma system in Iran through pilot studies as the assurance phase of public health approach. Furthermore, the model can provide a practical framework for trauma system management at the international level

O Presente trabalho trata de um Plano de Intervenção, tendo em vista a Implantação da Sala de Situação e Matriz de Monitoramento da Diretoria Geral de Gestão do Trabalho da Secretaria de Saúde do Recife. Partindo do pressuposto de que o planejamento estratégico garante ao gestor uma maior possibilidade de acerto na tomada de decisão, no intuito de garantir ao cidadão uma maior qualidade nos serviços ofertados e ao profissional uma melhor condição de trabalho. (MORAES, 1994). Desta forma propõe-se a criação de Grupo de Trabalho para analisar a base de Matriz de Monitoramento, sugerida neste Plano, definindo-se os responsáveis pelas informações/Fontes e prazos necessários para alimentação dos dados/informações. Para a DGGT a Matriz de Monitoramento vai funcionar como uma coletânea de informações, indicadores alimentados periodicamente pelo Grupo de Trabalho específico, e posteriormente analisadas para subsidiar o Gestor na Tomada de decisões. As novas ferramentas dos sistemas de informação na Saúde alinhados ao novo modelo de gestão participativa impulsionam o gestor a novos modelos de governar, dentro desta nova proposta surge a Sala de Situação, que terá a Matriz de Monitoramento como uma importante ferramenta. A Sala de Situação, a ser implantada nesta Diretoria tem o propósito de elencar os problemas, avaliar situações passadas, também avaliar as situações presente e ainda, elencar propostas de soluções calculando impactos/situações futuras. A partir deste mapa de informações e visões, o gestor terá subsídios para antever situações, planejar para o futuro, evitando surpresas e crises insolúveis. (MATTUS, 1987)...
