Quality of Primary Care: assessment of the Family Health Teams

ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze the quality of Primary Care by Family Health Teams. Data from the Self-Assessment for Improving Access and Quality of Primary Care and Basic Care Information System were used. It was analyzed the quality standard per urban/rural staff, professional composition and records of injuries/illnesses per team. Overall, 75 teams participated in this study, of which, 44% achieved satisfactory standard. It was observed that best classified teams have higher averages of doctors and dentists (p<0.05) and that the lower register of people with injuries/illnesses did not represent a better quality of Primary Care. It was also noted that service evaluation from the team is important for health management.
