- Abstract
This case study aimed to characterize Family Health Support Centers (FHSCs) focused on the degree of integration into related teams. A semi-structured form was completed by 31 FHSCs and the answers were converted to scores from 0 to 2, with pre-defined valuation based on literature and regulatory review. Then the FHSCs were stratified by type. To characterize the degree of integration, weights were set for the dimensions on the form, except for team profile, which was analyzed descriptively. The sum of points obtained by the FHSCs defined the degree of integration of the supported teams, which was considered incipient, especially among the Type II FHSCs. A higher percentage of FHSCs with a satisfactory degree of integration was found in Type I. The definition of strategies to promote structural and process changes in the implementation of FHSCs, including adjustments to the work of the teams and that of guidance and institutional support, is needed so that the expected integration and collaboration can be consolidated.
