Abstract:

To assess the performance of the Brazilian Notification System for Health Surveillance, regarding the registration that entails the information about drug-related adverse effects (Notivisa/medication) according to previously ed attributes. A cross-sectional health evaluation study was carried out between 2008 and 2013 using eight attributes established by international guidelines to assess public health surveillance systems: simplicity, acceptability, representativeness, completeness, validity, consistency, positive predictive error and timeliness. In the study period, 63,512 registries were identified in Notivisa/medication, most of them considered severe adverse effects (60.5%). The performance of Notivisa/medication was considered satisfactory regarding two of the eight attributes (validity and positive predictive error) and deficient in six of the remaining (simplicity, acceptability, representability, completeness, consistency and timeliness). Quality improvement strategies to change that situation of the system are necessary in order to provide complete, timely and reliable surveillance information for different stakeholders of the Brazilian communities – particularly health surveillance managers.
