Working instrument in health management and the perception of SUS planning actors in Campo Grande-MS

Abstract

Introduction: The Health Plan is a planning instrument of the Unified National Health System (SUS)[1] essential for defining management priorities at the municipal level for each four-year period. From this point of view, the research question of this study is due to the paucity of driving documents for developing the objectives of the municipal plan. Presentation of professional experience: the reported experience was observed at the Municipal Health Department in the SUS planning sector in 2021, the sector is responsible for conducting the preparation, monitoring and evaluation of SUS planning instruments, they are: Municipal Health Plan (PMS), Annual Health Programming (PAS) and Annual Management Report (RAG). Discussion: In 2021, the Campo Grande SUS Planning Instruments Management developed a guidebook to lead the development of MHP objectives. The guidebook was created with plain language and practical examples, and was implemented through virtual workshops. This instrument is important to strengthen the management and improve the quality of planning instruments. Final considerations: The implementation of a working instrument dedicated to developing objectives in the context of SUS planning instruments is an innovating and pioneer strategy that can serve as a reference and technical support for other towns, in order to consolidate public health management. The discussions about the implementation of work-guiding instruments in the management, mapping and qualification of processes are important for the organization of health services, as they help in conducting work activities to generate more effective results.
