ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effectiveness of the referral and counter-referral flow in a speech-language pathology and audiology clinic-school and to characterize the patients' profiles. METHODS: Evaluation, retrospective, and prospective study, in which 503 patient records, without age restriction, were selected from a clinic-school and the following variables were analyzed: demographic information, speech and hearing diagnosis, and references. Patients were distributed into two groups according to the referrals made: internal (G1, n=341) and external (G2, n=162) to the clinic-school. RESULTS: A prevalence of male subjects under 12 years of age and with diagnosis of language disorders (primary and secondary) was found. It was observed that 83% patients in G1 were recalled for evaluation and speech therapy after an average of 7 months of waiting; and from the patients in G2 that were contacted (n=101), 13.9% were summoned and are satisfied with the place indicated for therapy after an average of 4 months of waiting. From those who did not receive care, 46% sought another service, and of these, 72.5% were successful. CONCLUSION: The data show the effectiveness and appropriateness of referrals made internally, suggesting that, when the team works together, the network operates more adequately. However, in relation to external referrals, they did not reach the proposed goals, indicating a lack of speech-language pathologists in public services and the low interest of patients in looking for other places of care. .


OBJETIVO: Analisar a eficácia do fluxo de referência e contrarreferência fonoaudiológico realizados em uma clínica-escola e caracterizar o perfil dos usuários atendidos. MÉTODOS: Estudo do tipo avaliativo, retrospectivo e prospectivo, no qual foram selecionados 503 prontuários de pacientes sem restrição de idade atendidos numa clínica-escola e analisadas as seguintes variáveis: informações demográficas, hipótese diagnóstica fonoaudiológica e conduta fonoaudiológica. Os pacientes foram distribuídos em dois grupos, segundo os encaminhamentos realizados: internos (G1, n=341) e externos (G2, n=162) à própria clínica-escola. RESULTADOS: Prevaleceram os sujeitos do gênero masculino, com até 12 anos de idade e hipótese diagnóstica fonoaudiológica de alterações de linguagem oral de origem primária e secundária. Foi observado que 83% dos pacientes do G1 foram convocados para avaliação e terapia fonoaudiológica após, em média, 7 meses de espera; e, que dos pacientes contatados do G2 (n=101), 13,9% foram convocados e estão satisfeitos com o local indicado para terapia após, em média, 4 meses de espera. Daqueles que não conseguiram atendimento, 46% procuraram outro serviço, sendo que desses, 72,5% obtiveram êxito. CONCLUSÃO: Foi constatada a eficácia e adequação dos encaminhamentos realizados internamente, sugerindo que quando a equipe trabalha com objetivo comum, a rede funciona de maneira mais adequada. Entretanto, em relação aos encaminhamentos externos, esses não atingiram as metas propostas, indicando a falta de fonoaudiólogos em serviços públicos e o baixo interesse do usuário em buscar outros locais de atendimento. .
