Exploração das possibilidades e limites do uso do geoprocessamento na gestão do SUS

Abstract

The heterogeneity is inherent in the metropolitan which areas are fragmented by several spatial inequalities. In Rio de Janeiro, the unique historical and social formation of the urban model unleashed a spatial segregation of strong territorial proximity between the towns and neighborhoods that make up the upper areas of the city, failing, then, the stratification of socio - type center-periphery. For the identification of multiple urban territory, objects of health planning, it is clear the increasing need for production and update more detailed and disaggregated spatially information. This dissertation explores the potential of GIS technology in the definition of "space-population" areas of activity of public health policies in the City, from the spatial distribution of socioeconomic indicators and health in the smallest unit of geographic analysis. The study enabled us to verify that space technology for data analysis was effective in identifying inequalities socioterritoriais, which allows the management re-aggregates more homogeneous spatial units and rebuild their areas of health planning. With respect to spatial health data, the technology ran into problems with the quality of address data collected in the hospital information system and in the absence of updating digital map data. The technology of GIS, in health, despite the availability of databases of free programs available and the availability of trained personnel, has been showing its use limited by problems encountered. Recommend investments to the standardization efforts of the entry of addresses in information systems in health, in the update of mailing of the municipality and technological development programs relate to georeferencing databases, taking into account possible differences in spelling of streets
