ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: There is still a lack of health indicators for monitoring and evaluating health planning at the local level. In Portugal, local health plans (LHP) include a prioritized set of health priorities, which should be monitored and evaluated. This study is an example of a low-resource method to identify and reuse indicators for LHP monitoring and evaluation already collected for other purposes. DESIGN AND SAMPLE: A modified Delphi consensus method was applied, with three rounds of email rating questionnaires and a final meeting, between January 2018 and January 2019. The Delphi panel consisted of eight members from the Planning and Administration Group of the Espinho/Gaia Local Public Health Unit. MEASUREMENTS: Panelists were asked to assess the indicators' validity for monitoring diseases/determinants from a pre-selected list of potential binomials between 140 PHC indicators and 15 diseases/determinants. RESULTS: After four rounds, there was consensus in considering 141 binomials (34.0%) as appropriate, diabetes mellitus being the disease with more appropriate indicators. CONCLUSION: This study portrays the applicability of a commonly used, easy and low-resource method in a Portuguese Local Public Health Unit to select and reuse primary health care indicators for LHP monitoring and evaluation.
