Implantação de agenda integrada em uma USF de Campo Grande (MS) – Relato de Experiência

Este artigo relata uma proposta de organização do processo de trabalho por meio da integração das ações dos profissionais de uma equipe de saúde da família no município de Campo Grande (MS), mediante a implantação de uma agenda de trabalho. Foi implantada uma agenda de trabalho que definiu a prioridade de atendimento de todos os profissionais da equipe em cada dia da semana. A demanda foi dividida entre atendimento programado, ao qual foram destinadas de 50% a 60% das vagas, e demanda espontânea, que correspondeu aos outros 40% a 50%. A demanda espontânea consistiu na população que procurou a unidade livremente para o agendamento de consulta, realizado por meio da distribuição de senhas, e a demanda programada foi composta por pacientes pertencentes a grupos de gestantes, hipertensos e diabéticos, que foram agendados previamente pelos profissionais da unidade por meio dos cartões dos programas, utilizados como documentos de registro e acompanhamento da história médica e odontológica desses pacientes. Para a equipe, a utilização dessa agenda representou um avanço em direção ao trabalho interdisciplinar e à lógica de atendimento por ordem de chegada, ampliando o acesso mediante outros critérios. A agenda também possibilitou maior aproximação com os pacientes e entre os membros da equipe.

Organização da agenda dos profissionais de saúde da unidade básica de saúde Antônio Caetano Laranjeiras - Betim

Este trabalho se baseia na vivência da prática médica durante o período de março de 2013 a dezembro de 2013, na cidade de Betim, em Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) denominada Antônio Caetano - Laranjeiras. Foi tomado como nó-crítico a ser discutido, a falta de organização nos agendamentos das consultas médicas e a implementação da agenda dinâmica com atenção à demanda espontânea e demanda programada. Justifica-se a presente abordagem devido à elevada demanda diária na UBS, acompanhada da busca por melhor atendimento e satisfação por parte dos usuários e dos profissionais de saúde. Teve como objetivo a elaboração de um projeto de intervenção com a finalidade de organizar a agenda de atendimento da Unidade. Para isso foi realizada discussão entre os membros das equipes que compõem a unidade de saúde, e posterior revisão de literatura sobre o assunto. Após leitura e discussão, deu-se início ao projeto de intervenção que visa a melhoria da distribuição e organização das agendas dos profissionais. Considerando os resultados expostos por outros autores acerca do assunto, notou-se os benefícios dessa atividade para o cotidiano de atendimentos da equipe.

Organização da agenda na Unidade Básica de Saúde Jardim dos Pescadores em Três Marias - Minas Gerais

O acolhimento deve funcionar para organizar a demanda espontânea e programada, isso se faz através de um bom entendimento do que vem a ser condições agudas e crônicas. Para cada condição haverá uma necessidade específica e cabe à equipe identificá-las, buscar alternativas eficazes para abordá-las e organizar adequadamente as agendas. Este trabalho consiste em um projeto de intervenção visando à organização da agenda do Programa Saúde da Família Jardim dos Pescadores em Três Marias, Minas Gerais. O objetivo foi propor uma agenda de atendimento para Unidade Básica de Saúde Jardim dos Pescadores para melhor organização da demanda espontânea e programada. Para o desenvolvimento do plano de intervenção foi utilizado o método de planejamento estratégico situacional e uma revisão narrativa da literatura sore o tema. O atendimento à saúde da Unidade Básica de Saúde Jardim dos pescadores baseia-se no modelo curativo, há poucas ações de promoção e prevenção, cuidado continuado por meio das visitas domiciliares e programação da agenda, com este projeto de intervenção espera-se reduzir a demanda espontânea e estruturar a demanda programada, bem como introduzir grupos operativos, ações educativas nas escolas e educação continuada com a equipe, visando a melhor atender às necessidades de saúde da população e os princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde. São muitos os desafios a serem enfrentados, pois esse processo envolve mudança de paradigma, mas é necessário investir neste novo modelo para que a população perceba a importância do autocuidado e prevenção de agravos à saúde.

Democracy on the edge: limits and possibilities for the implementation of an urban reform agenda in Brazil

In Brazil the 1990s constituted years of institutional achievements in the fields of housing and urban rights, given the incorporation of the principles of the social function of cities and property, the recognition of tenure rights for slum dwellers and the direct participation of citizens in the decision making process of urban policies, within the 1988 Constitution. These proposals have become the pillars of the Urban Reform agenda which has penetrated the federal government apparatus since the creation of the Ministry of Cities under Lula's administration. The article evaluates the limits and possibilities for the implementation of this agenda through the analysis of two policies proposed by the Ministry: the National Council of Cities and the campaign for Participatory Master Plans. The approach is based on the organization of the Brazilian State in terms of urban development, the relationship with the political system and the characteristics of Brazilian democracy.

Democracy on the Edge: Limits and Possibilities in the Implementation of an Urban Reform Agenda in Brazil

The 1990s in Brazil were a time of institutional advances in the areas of housing and urban rights following the signing of the new constitution in 1988 that incorporated the principles of the social function of cities and property, recognition of the right to ownership of informal urban squatters and the direct participation of citizens in urban policy decision processes. These propositions are the pillars of the urban reform agenda which, since the creation of the Ministry of Cities by the Lula government, has come under the federal executive branch. This article evaluates the limitations and opportunities involved in implementing this agenda on the basis of two policies proposed by the ministry - the National Cities Council and the campaign for Participatory Master Plans - focusing the analysis on government organization in the area of urban development in its relationship with the political system and the characteristics of Brazilian democracy. Resume Au Bresil, les annees 1990 ont ete marquees par des progres institutionnels en matiere de logement et de droits urbains, dans le sillage de la Constitution de 1988 qui integre les principes d`une fonction sociale de la ville et de la propriete urbaine, ainsi que la reconnaissance du droit a la propriete pour les squatters urbains et la participation directe des citoyens aux processus d`elaboration des politiques urbaines. Ce sont egalement les piliers du programme de reforme urbaine qui releve de l`executif federal depuis la creation d`un ministere des Villes par le gouvernement Lula. Pour evaluer les limites et potentiels lies a la mise en place de ce programme, cet article s`appuie sur deux politiques publiques proposees par le ministere, le Conseil national des villes et la campagne en faveur des Plans directeurs participatifs, en analysant plus particulierement l`organisation gouvernementale en matiere d`urbanisme par rapport au systeme politique et aux caracteristiques de la democratie bresilienne.

A Research Agenda for Assessing the Potential Contribution of Genomic Medicine to Tobacco Control

This paper identifies research priorities in evaluating the ways in which "genomic medicine"-the use of genetic information to prevent and treat disease-may reduce tobacco-related harm by: (1) assisting more smokers to quit; (2) preventing non-smokers from beginning to smoke tobacco; and (3) reducing the harm caused by tobacco smoking. The method proposed to achieve the first aim is pharmacogenetics", the use of genetic information to optimise the selection of smoking-cessation programmes by screening smokers for polymorphisms that predict responses to different methods of smoking cessation. This method competes with the development of more effective forms of smoking cessation that involve vaccinating smokers against the effects of nicotine and using new pharmaceuticals (such as cannabinoid antagonists and nicotine agonists). The second and third aims are more speculative. They include: screening the population for genetic susceptibility to nicotine dependence and intervening (eg, by vaccinating children and adolescents against the effects of nicotine) to prevent smoking uptake, and screening the population for genetic susceptibility to tobacco-related diseases. A framework is described for future research on these policy options. This includes: epidemiological modelling and economic evaluation to specify the conditions under which these strategies are cost-effective; and social psychological research into the effect of providing genetic information on smokers' preparedness to quit, and the general views of the public on tobacco smoking.

Promoting an agenda for nuclear weapons elimination: The Canberra Commission and dilemmas of disarmament

This paper examines the role of the Canberra Commission in terms of consolidating and influencing the agenda on international negotiations towards the elimination of nuclear weapons. The Commission's Report is significant for two main reasons. First, it represents a unique form of disarmament diplomacy by the Australian Government which combined the post-Cold War international climate of security cooperation with the foreign policy aspirations of an activist middle power. Second, the Report refutes the strategic, technological and political arguments against nuclear elimination in a comprehensive and convincing manner, arguing that without elimination, the world faces increased threats of nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism. This paper thus concludes that the Canberra Commission has been instrumental in strengthening the taboo against the possession, testing or use of nuclear weapons.

THE POLICY AGENDA OF ISPRM

This paper suggests a comprehensive policy agenda and first steps to be undertaken by the International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (ISPRM) in order to realize its humanitarian, professional and scientific mandates. The general aims of ISPRM, as formulated in its guiding documents, the relations with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations system, and demands of ISPRM`s constituency herein form the basis of this policy agenda Agenda items encompass contributions to the establishment of rehabilitation services worldwide and the development of PRM societies ISPRM`s possible input in general curricula in disability and rehabilitation, and in fighting discrimination against people experiencing disability are discuss. Moreover, the implementation of the International Classification of Functioning. Disability and Health (ICF) in medicine, contributions to WHO guidelines relevant to disability and rehabilitation the provision of a conceptual description of the rehabilitation strategy and the outline of a rehabilitation services matrix are seen as important agenda items of ISPRM`s external policy. With regard to its constituency and internal policy, a definition of the field of competence and a conceptual description of PRM, as well as the development of a consistent and comprehensive congress topic list and congress structure appear to be crucial items. The proposed agenda items serve as a basis for future discussions.

The social construction of PETE in higher education: Toward a research agenda

The focus of this paper is the social construction of physical education teacher education (PETE) and its fate within the broader process of curriculum change in the physical activity field. Our task is to map the dimensions of a research program centered on the social construction of the physical activity field and PETE in higher education. Debates in the pages of Quest and elsewhere over the past two decades have highlighted not only the contentious nature of PETE practices and structures but also that PETE is changing. This paper offers one way of making sense of the ongoing process of contestation and struggle through the presentation of a theoretical framework. This framework, primarily drawing upon the work of Lave and Wenger (1991) and Bernstein (1990, 1996), is described before it is used to study the social construction of PETE in Australia. We assess the progress that has been made in developing this research program, and the questions already evident for further developments of a program of study of the physical activity field in higher education.

Research commentary: Information systems and conceptual modeling - A research agenda

Within the information systems field, the task of conceptual modeling involves building a representation of selected phenomena in some domain. High-quality conceptual-modeling work is important because it facilitates early detection and correction of system development errors. It also plays an increasingly important role in activities like business process reengineering and documentation of best-practice data and process models in enterprise resource planning systems. Yet little research has been undertaken on many aspects of conceptual modeling. In this paper, we propose a framework to motivate research that addresses the following fundamental question: How can we model the world to better facilitate our developing, implementing, using, and maintaining more valuable information systems? The framework comprises four elements: conceptual-modeling grammars, conceptual-modeling methods, conceptual-modeling scripts, and conceptual-modeling contexts. We provide examples of the types of research that have already been undertaken on each element and illustrate research opportunities that exist.
