Abstract:

This research work deals with the potentialities and limitations on the strengthening of subjects in health management, based on the experience of Fortaleza in the period from 2005 to 2008. The subject is approached from a historical-cultural standpoint, which considers the dialectic interaction between the individual and the collective in deepening human consciousness. A reflection is made on the health management purposes and models and their correlation with an increased autonomy of the actors. Focus groups were conducted with managers linked to Primary Health Care and secondary data were utilized. Through a hermeneutic dialectic approach it was sought to understand the meaning of the constructed narratives. Empirical categories were identified and analyzed: co-intentionality of change, political and conceptual drives, human management, reduction of hierarchy, fragmentation of the work process, concentration of the decision power. Three main strategic policies came out from the analyses: co-management, humanization, and continuous education on health. It was concluded that, despite the persistence of obstacles, in order to improve the quality of healthcare services it is essential to establish a democratic management system through organizational arrangements and participatory methods that enhance integration and commitment of the Public Health System actors.
