Evaluation of the clinical-care resolution capacity of multiprofessional teams in a municipality in the Northeast Region of Brazil

Abstract

This article aims to evaluate the clinical-care resolution capacity of multiprofessional teams in a municipality in the Northeast Region of Brazil. The concept of resolution capacity relates to the positive impact on users’ quality of life and considers functionality and contextual factors in their development. It is quantitative research with an evaluative and longitudinal approach. There was a follow-up of users assisted in a priority way, with shared follow-up among professionals from multidisciplinary teams and the Family Health Strategy (ESF). The clinical evolution of the users was performed using the Evaluation and Monitoring Form of the Clinical-Care Resolution Capacity of the Family Health Support Center (RCaNASF). The results are presented in two sections: the first one discusses the profile of the research subjects, considering their sociodemographic and clinical aspects, essential elements for understanding the healthcare work of multiprofessional teams; and the second discusses the resolution capacity of these teams in promoting the quality of life of users in primary health care. The conclusion suggests using RCaNASF to monitor the cases discussed between multidisciplinary and Family Health teams, enriching the workflow and health evaluation practices.
