RESUMO

The study case took place at a public health center of Montevideo with the aim of understanding how the organizational models of provision and management of PHC services are translated into practices and care processes. The research instrument used was contextualized in the tool created by Prof.. B. Starfield, the Primary Care Assessment Tool, adapted and validated by Almeida and Macinko in Brasilia in 2006. Questionnaires were applied to a group of users, professionals and managers selected through a non-probabilistic sampling criteria. From a general point of view, there is a good performance rating globally in the attributes: gateway, service portfolio and profesional training. Intermediate attributes correspond to link performance and coordination. At the other extreme, the attributes with lower performance were the family and community focus and access. While the PHC strategy is devoted to social macro level through a strong regulatory framework, its implementation at operational level involves major challenges for achieving proper integration and coordination of care.
