Abstract:

Object: Long-stay institutions for the elderly (LSI). Objective: To evaluate Brazilian LSI, according to the Integrated Multidimensional Theoretical Model of Quality and Service (MIQA), and to compare the performance achieved between the regions of the country. Methodology: Descriptive ecological study carried out with public secondary data from the ILPIs participating in the 2018 Census of the Unified Social Assistance System. An Evaluation Matrix was built from the variables of the SUAS Census and the MIQA Theoretical Model. Quality parameters were used to classify the institutions' performance for each indicator as “incipient”, “in development” or “desirable”. The disparity index was obtained for each indicator. 1,665 institutions were analyzed. Results: Differences were observed in the percentages of LSI with “desirable” performance among Brazilian regions, and the need for improvement in most LSI in relation to the proportion of caregivers of elderly people, the composition of the multidisciplinary team, accessibility and supply of health promotion actions. There was a need for government support for the suppression of exclusionary differentiation criteria and for the expansion of services to overcome overcrowding.
