To this end, a systematic review of literature on the Lilacs, Medline and Capes' databases viewing assessment and performance-related terms for the period 2008-2013 was conducted. Criteria based on the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation were applied to assess the quality of articles as well as a matrix to analyze bibliometric attributes array and models. Six studies were found explaining the assessment model of health intervention performance, especially for one-dimensional models with systemic approach.
