ABSTRACT
RESUMO: Objetivo: O estudo tem como objetivo avaliar o desempenho dos hospitais que participaram do Programa Nacional de Avaliação de Serviços de Saúde (PNASS 2015-2016). Métodos: Estudo descritivo transversal quantitativo, que buscou mensurar o desempenho dos hospitais que participaram do programa com base nos dados do primeiro instrumento avaliativo do PNASS 2015-2016. O questionário de avaliação de processos aplicado aos hospitais contou com 102 itens, 17 critérios, agrupados em quatro blocos ou dimensões. Resultados: Participaram 1.681 hospitais. O escore médio por bloco foi: gestão organizacional (64), apoio técnico e logístico para produção de cuidado (73), gestão da atenção à saúde e do cuidado (64) e serviços/unidades específicas (72). Com relação à esfera administrativa, o melhor desempenho médio foi obtido pela esfera federal, seguido da estadual e da municipal. Os hospitais localizados no Sul e Sudeste obtiveram o melhor desempenho (73,0), seguido do Centro-Oeste (62,7), Nordeste (61,2) e Norte (58,5). Conclusão: Os hospitais que realizam procedimentos de alta complexidade, assim como os de grande porte e especiais, obtiveram melhor desempenho. Hospitais públicos federais, de gestão municipal, também alcançaram os melhores resultados, bem como os hospitais do Sul e Sudeste do país.
ABSTRACT: Aim: The present work aims to evaluate the performance of hospitals participating on the National Program for the Evaluation of Health Services (Programa Nacional de Avaliação de Serviços de Saúde - PNASS, 2015-2016). Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study, which measured the performance of hospitals participating in the program, using data from the first PNASS 2015-2016 evaluation instrument. The processes evaluation questionnaire used in hospitals had 102 items, 17 criteria, grouped into four blocks or dimensions. Results: A total of 1,681 hospitals was evaluated. The average score for each block was: Organizational management (64); technical and logistical support for care provision (73); health care and care management (64); specific services/units (72). Regarding the administrative sphere, the best average performance was of the federal sphere, followed by the state and municipal ones. The hospitals located in the Southern and Southeastern regions presented the best performance (73), followed by the Midwestern (62.7), Northeastern (61.2), and Northern (58.5) regions. Conclusion: The hospitals that perform highly complex procedures, just like those large and special ones, obtained a better performance. Public federal hospitals, with municipal management, also had the best results, as well as hospitals from the Southern and Southwestern regions of the country.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To associate the strength of community health workers interventions with primary health care strategies for women's and children's health, diabetes, and hypertension. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study assessing 29,778 family health teams working in primary health care in Brazil in 2014. The association between community health workers activity levels and primary health care facilities was analyzed using multiple logistic regression. RESULTS We found higher levels of community health workers activities strongly associated with primary health care practices (OR = 6.88) for those activities targeting hypertension management, followed by children's health (OR = 6.56), and women's health (OR = 6.21). CONCLUSIONS At a time when Brazil discusses whether community health workers should or should not remain in the same scale-up and skill level as they currently are, our results reinforce the importance of these workers for the care model advocated by the Brazilian Unified Health System.
