Abstract:

Federalism is the pillar of the Federative Republic of Brazil, composed by the indissoluble union of States, Municipalities and the Federal District, with the basic principle of political and administrative decentralization in the political, economic and social relations. In health, the primary health care (PHC) provider should be able to integrate all care that the patient receives through services’ coordination. This article aims to evaluate the results of referrals for consultations and outpatient examinations of PHC in Rio de Janeiro Municipality, showing the advances, limitations and challenges for the management at the local level. A quantitative study was designed using administrative databases of the National Health Frame (CNES), the National Regulatory System (SISREG), and a linkage between them. Between 2011 and 2015, the number of scheduled procedures increased by 86%, reflecting the decentralization of the ambulatory regulation to family doctors. It can be inferred that there is no shortage of specialists for outpatient care in the city in almost all areas. There are actually artificial bottlenecks by lack of regulation of most of the workload contracted in the specialties, that is, the number of vacancies for regulation is vastly smaller than the capacity of health services of municipal, state, federal and contracted units by the Unified Health System (SUS).
