Abstract:

This study aimed to analyze, in the light of the perception of managers, the conformation of the process of regionalization in health in Brazil, with emphasis on the main advances and challenges. A mixed exploratory and descriptive study was carried out. In the first stage, an electronic questionnaire was conducted with managersall health regions of the country. In the second stage, we held focus groups with managers based inall macro regions. A semi-structured interview was used to encourage managers to speak about the process of regionalization, its advances and main challenges. We analyzed the data in the Iramuteq software, more specifically the Descending Hierarchical Classification (DHC), resulting in three thematic axes: the first deals with the efforts made for the regional organization at the macro level of management, with emphasis on reducing inequalities, actions and services to users; the second, demonstrates the regional organization, and the difficulties for the organization of the local system; the third, reveals difficulties in accessing health services, especially those with greater technological complexity. The research results point to advances and challenges, involving a risk for the structuring of the regionalization process, with bureaucratic and fragmented nuances.
