Inclusion of a large size hospital in the Urgency and Emergency Network of the Center-West region

In view of the demand of configuring the care networks, this qualitative study analyses the insertion of a large size hospital in Urgent and Emergency Care Network in the Center-West region of Brazil based on secondary data, documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews applied to managers and professionals that work in the Hospital's Trauma Center. The results suggest unawareness of the professionals on the insertion of the Hospital in the network; flows definitions and incipient pacts; good practices in regulation by the Emergency Mobile Care Service. It is concluded that the insertion of the Hospital takes place slowly and depends on the interaction of multi-level of the Unified Health System.
