VIDAL, Tiago Barra; TESSER, Charles Dalcanale; HARZHEIM, Erno  e  FONTANIVE, Paulo Vinicius Nascimento. Evaluation of Primary Health Care performance in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil, 2012: a cross-sectional population-based study. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.4, e2017504.  Epub 11-Out-2018. ISSN 1679-4974.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/s1679-49742018000400006.

Objective:

to evaluate the performance of Primary Health Care (PHC) in Florianopolis, SC, Brazil.

Methods:

this was a cross-sectional population-based study with adults living in the catchment areas of the Health Centers (HC) located in the Northern Health District of Florianópolis in 2012; the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCATool-Brazil) was applied do assess the presence and extent of PHC characteristics.

Results:

of the 598 interviewees, 68,4% reported that they considered PHC centers to be their usual source of care; while the usage subdimension of the First Contact Access characteristic was the best evaluated (8.4; 95%CI 8.2;8.6), the service delivery subdimension of the First Contact Access/subdimension accessibility was the worst evaluated (3.5; 95%CI 3.3; 3.6); four (36.6%) of the eleven PHC centers evaluated had a high overall and essential PHC score, although their overall mean score was low (6.4; 95%CI 6.2;6.5).

Conclusion:

considering the PHC model evaluated by PCATool-Brazil, PHC services need to be improved, especially with regard to their process and structure components.
