Resumen
AMORIM, Leonardo de Paula et al. Oral health work process: disparity between teams in Brazil, 2014. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.1, e2019533. Epub 02-Feb-2021. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1679-49742021000100013.
Objective
To compare Modality I and Modality II Oral Health Teams (OHT) regarding work process performance and differences between Brazilian regions.
Methods
This was a cross-sectional study with OHTs that took part in the National Program for Primary Health Care Access and Quality Improvement (2013-2014). Latent Class Analysis identified OHT subgroups according to work process (action planning, health promotion actions and comprehensive health care) performance (consolidated, developing or incipient). OHT modalities were compared, resulting in an Index of Disparity.
Results
After evaluating 15,886 OHTs, Modality II OHTs were found to have a higher percentage of consolidated work processes in the Southeast (67.8%-94.6%) and Southern (54.8%-93.0%) regions. Disparity in the consolidated work process was greater among Modality II OHTs (6.3-26.5) compared to Modality I OHTs (3.9-18.4).
Conclusion
Modality II OHTs have the potential for better performance regarding the work process, but with regional disparities.
