HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF ICPC-2 USE IN NATIONAL HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR PRIMARY CARE (SISAB)

Introduction: The e-SUS Primary Care (e-SUS AB) strategy has as main objectives to restructure and qualify the information of primary health care (PHC) in Brazil. It adopted the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC-2) based terminology for encoding the service record held by the team of PHC, particularly by graduate professionals, to qualify the record. Objective: Analyze use of ICPC-2 by PHC professionals captured by systems e-SUS AB. Method: Quantitative analysis of variables related to the filling of Evaluated Problem / Condition field present in the database of the Health Information System for Primary Care (SISAB). The assessment was developed observing records between the years 2013-2015, about the prospect of expanding the implementation of the system e-SUS AB. Results: In total, approximately 76 million were sent records to SISAB using ICPC-2, ICD-10 or quick list. These records, 69% used the quick list, 30% to ICPC-2 and 1% to ICD-10, through the Individual Care Data Sheet. By professional category, 68.2% were registered by physicians, 26.4% for nurses and 5.4% for other categories of PHC. About 73% of the recordings were made in 2015 following the implementation curve of the e-SUS AB strategy. Conclusion: It follows that the adoption of ICPC-2 by PHC practitioners through thee-SUS AB systems has increased following the implementation process of this strategy.
