REDES DE ATENÇÃO À SAÚDE NA GESTÃO DO SUS

Abstract

The Health Care Networks were designed to help resolve gaps in public health care as an effective means of organizing and systematizing the Unified Health System in its current decentralized model. In this sense, this work made an analysis by means of a narrative bibliographic research with the purpose of putting in theoretical relief the RAS from its main scholars in Brazil; analyze the movement of reference and counter-reference in health from the networks, and identify the central obstacles to its operation. The method used referred to an exploratory research, narrative review type, based on a bibliographic research, conducted from May to July of the current year. The conclusions of this study showed that the Health Care Networks themselves also suffer from some problems arising from integration due to reflecting the peculiarities present in the system to which it is inserted, especially those related to management, communication and financing. However, they remain the most effective strategy for their purpose, given the structural change in the logic of care and management in current health, greatly compromised with limitations arising from decentralization and hierarchization.
