TERRITORIALIZASUS: USING TECHNOLOGY AS A TOOL FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF PRIMARY HEALTH CARE.

From the experience in Basic Health Units at Paulo Afonso, state of Bahia, were perceived territorial demands that bumped on the obsolescence of current models of territorialization. Therefore, was created an application for mobile devices, called TerritorializaSUS. This application aims to transform the territorial model currently adopted and strengthen the principle of universality, arising from the Organic Law of SUS. The TerritorializaSUS app optimizes the team work, integrates the Health Units and society, promote the continuous monitoring of system users, and allows data logging in a computerized way from a "check-in" done by health workers, which can store personal data, house to house.The application was made available through the App Maker platform. For mapping, the application received from Google Maps support. With the help of TerritorializaSUS app, the public may obtain information about the Basic Health Units as important dates, calendars and campaigns, health promotion activities, community epidemiologic data, the health worker responsible for each microarea, strategic locations within the community, and other things. The TerritorializaSUS app also has the ability to provide a database that in the future may serve as a basis for the implementation of new public policies in the health field.
