- Abstract
Study on the evaluation of the Brazilian Unified Health System. This work started from a historical rescue in which the accreditation of the development of the evaluative practice in health was taken as the starting point. This way, it points out the main achievements of the evaluation in the Unified Health System and in Primary Health Care and discusses some issues embedded in the concept of evaluative research. The evaluation is essential for the institutions, because it refers to the reality of the service, points out needs and weaknesses to serve as a basis for structuring planning that aims mainly at improving quality. Among the changes that have occurred in the field of health services evaluation, the most prominent is its institutionalization in public health services. The results of an evaluation, including evaluative surveys, allow the professionals involved in the different levels of attention a new look and a rethink for the planning of their actions and for the decision-making process, which results in changes and improvement of the professional practice.
