Análise da implementação da Política de Educação Permanente em Saúde no estado do Rio de Janeiro entre os anos 2011 e 2015.

Abstract

This work consists in the analysis of the development of Permanent Education in Health Care in the State of Rio de Janeiro. We analyzed the findings of the Analysis of the Policies of Permanent Education of the Brazilian Public Health System implemented by the State Health Secretaries, a national survey coordinated by the IMS-UERJ Workstation of Rede ObservaRH. The State Health Plans and Management Annual Reports from two distinctive periods of time, namely, from 2008 to 2011 and from 2012 to 2015, have been the guiding instruments for the analysis. The interview with the the authority responsible for the State Education in Health Direction in 2015 has also been analyzed. It was possible to observe that the emphasis of the health education strategies still rests on the capacity building courses, especially the ones to fight Dengue, which received intensive investments in the first analyzed period (2008-2011). It was also noticed that, while the second period of time (2012-2015) covers other themes, the focus is kept on this endemic disease as well. Investments were made in the Technical School Izabel dos Santos, in the Telessaúde Program and in the Health Virtual Library, however, it was not possible to infer on the articulation of these investments with the accomplishment of the mentioned capacity building courses. The second period analyzed included intensive investments in labor management and support to the Health and Education Integrated Commissions, which had already been implemented since the previous period. These findings became a subsidy for the discussion over the feasibility of conducting collective and participative processes in the education of health workers of the brazilian public health system in the contemporary political and economic scenario.
