Evaluation Matrix

Abstract Background In 2003, the National Policy for Continuing Education in Health (PNEPS) was created as a strategy to train and update workers of the Unified Health System. To be effectively instituted, the Open University of the Brazilian Unified Public Health System was conceived to offer free online courses. But, it was observed that the online educational modules developed were not structural and pedagogically homogeneous. Objective Propose a matrix of criteria and guidelines to support the improvement of the design of instructional modules, investigating three main areas: ergonomics, education and health. Methodology Anasynthesis was the approach to build the evaluation matrix. Results The matrix consists of 29 criteria (Accessibility, Progression Activities, Updating Practices, Self-Analysis and Self-Management, Assessment, Cognitive Load, Student-Centered, Collaboration, Compatibility and Interoperability, Consistency, Knowledge Building, Student Control, Documentation and Help, Aesthetics, Feedback, Flexibility, Error Management, Interactivity, Maintenance, Clear Instructional Goals and Objectives, Motivation, Personalization, Problem Practicing, Critical Reflection, Relevance, Renewable, Safety, Use of Different Paths, Valorization of Knowledge) with 132 guidelines that allows to check if the online self-instructional module meets minimum quality criteria. Five courses produced by the UNA-SUS system were tested and compared with the perception of users of these courses, obtained by the polls for opening and closing the courses. There was an approximation between the evaluations using the matrix and the responses of the surveys of the courses, answered by the users. Results from these surveys were transferred to a user matrix. The Interactivity and Collaboration criteria were considered non-mandatory for self-instructional courses without tutors. Conclusions The matrix is an adequate evaluation tool for self-instructional courses developed for Continuing Education. Key messages The evaluation matrix is adequate to evaluate online self-instructional courses developed for Health professionals qualification. Self-instructed courses could be a good tool for Continuing Education in health, according to students’ perceptions.

O Projeto Rondon tem criado oportunidades, especialmente na saúde, para que universitários interajam com comunidades vulneráveis, socializando saberes e discutindo soluções coletivamente. O Agente Comunitário de Saúde (ACS) é um personagem fundamental na implementação do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), fortalecendo a integração entre os serviços de saúde e a comunidade. Mesmo com muitos avanços, a formação dos ACS permanece um desafio. Este estudo relata a experiência de um projeto de extensão na elaboração, desenvolvimento e realização de uma capacitação para ACS no município de Lindoeste, Paraná. As oficinas foram elaboradas multidisciplinarmente por acadêmicos de enfermagem, nutrição, psicologia e engenharia ambiental. Adotou-se o conceito ampliado de saúde, abordando conceitos do SUS, promoção e prevenção, educação ambiental, nutrição, humanização, além de demandas locais. A utilização de metodologias ativas e de temas relacionados à comunidade permitiram a troca de saberes, criando um espaço em que todos puderam expor suas opiniões e assim buscar soluções para os problemas locais. O desconhecimento dos ACS sobre os conceitos do SUS foi um desafio para o aprofundamento da discussão, moldando o debate muitas vezes num modelo pedagógico clássico. Um ponto positivo foi a integração e colaboração entre os ACS a partir do entendimento dos impactos que o processo de trabalho pode trazer ao município. A partir da capacitação dos ACS, ficou evidente a importância de os projetos de extensão estarem em consonância com as necessidades do território que, no presente trabalho, revelou a necessidade de elaboração e realização da educação continuada dos ACS. Palavras-chave: Sistema Único de Saúde; Atenção Primária à Saúde; Educação Continuada; Relações Comunidade-Instituição Training community health workers: integration between university and primary healthcare   Abstract: The Rondon Project has provided opportunities, especially in the health area, for university students to interact with vulnerable communities, share knowledge, and discuss solutions collectively. The Community Health Worker (CHW) plays a key role in implementing the Brazilian Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS), strengthening the integration between health services and the community. Even with many advances, the education of CHWs remains a challenge. This study reports an extension project's experience in elaborating, developing, and accomplishing training for CHW in Lindoeste, Paraná state, Brazil. The workshops were developed in a multidisciplinary manner by nursing, nutrition, psychology, and environmental engineering students. The expanded health concept was adopted, addressing SUS concepts, health promotion, prevention, environmental education, nutrition, humanization, and local demands. The use of active learning methods and community-related themes allowed for knowledge sharing, creating an environment where everyone could express their opinions and seek solutions to local problems. CHW's lack of knowledge about SUS concepts was a challenge to deepen the discussion, often shaping the debate in a traditional way. A positive point was the integration and collaboration among CHW, which were carried out in understanding the value of the collaborative workflow for their community. This experience highlighted the importance of the extension project being in tune with the demand of the territory, which in the present work revealed the need to elaborate and carry out continuing education of the CHW.

The National Policy of Integrative and Complementary Practices (PNPIC) in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), and The National Policy of Medicinal Plants and Herbal Medicines (PNPMF) were launched in 2006. Based on these, the Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) re-edited rules related to herbal medicines such as the Guideline to herbal medicine registration (RDC 14/10), the Good Manufacture Practices Guideline (RDC 17/10) and the List of references to assess the safety and efficacy of herbal medicines (IN 05/10). The requisites to prove herbal medicine's safety and efficacy were updated. Therefore, this review aims at presenting and commenting these new rules.

This work presents the morphology of 16 medicinal species of Lamiales used in Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso, Brazil, as well comments about phytogeography, popular use in the municipality, the status of the species in the National Policy on Medicinal Plants and Phytotherapeutics, and examples of preclinical trials. The work was performed between March and September 2020, through botanical sample of the Lamiales species presented in the book " Plantas medicinais de Alta Floresta: com contribuição a etnobotânica", obtained in rural communities and urban neighborhoods in the municipality of Alta Floresta, State of Mato Grosso. The morphological study was carried out at the Laboratory of Plant Morphology, located at the University Campus of Alta Floresta, Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso. In general, the species are native (56%) with wide distributions in Brazil. Most species have glandular trichomes (72%) on the leaves and/or flowers and have been shown to be efficient and/or promising (85.5%) in studies. However, only 37.5% of these studies were conducted by the Ministry of Health. None of the species are offered as a phytotherapeutic by the Unified Health System (SUS), although six are on the last National Report of Medicinal Plants of Interest published by SUS. Based on the information provided, it is evident that these species could be used in studies about new phytotherapeutics for SUS users.

IntroductionDue to the high judicialization rates which pressure the financing of biologic medicines by the Brazilian Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS), it has been decided to formulate the National Policy for Biologic Medicines. After identification of problems and prioritization, interchangeability based only on economic criteria was the main problem to be confronted. The primary objective of this study was to identify political options to approach the problem of interchangeability in systematic reviews.MethodsWe conducted a rapid evidence synthesis for policy based on an adaptation of the SUPPORT tools, and searched in six literature databases. The selection of studies was performed in a systematic, transparent and independent manner. The International Network of Agencies in Health Technology Assessment (INAHTA) members were consulted to learn how this practice occurs worldwide.ResultsWe included seven systematic reviews and one policy brief, whose options to approach the problem were: production of robust scientific evidence on interchangeability; implementation of a pharmacovigilance system; appreciation of the clinical efficacy in the practice of interchangeability; and educational strategies for healthcare professionals in Brazil. Nine countries responded to our query.ConclusionsEvidence-informed policy has a central role for the Brazilian Ministry of Health. The present rapid evidence synthesis for policy will subsidize decision making regarding the interchangeability of biologic medicines within the Brazilian Unified Health System.

Abstract UNA-SUS System was established to enforce the National Policy of Continuing Education in Health, and it is composed of a Network of 34 public institutions (mostly Universities), responsible for online educational offerings, in response to the demands generated by the Ministry of Health. The system produces courses that are committed to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (specially Goals 3, 4, 5, 10, and 16). Objectives to verify the profile of users and the penetrance of UNA-SUS online courses and their contribution to the democratization of Continuing Education of health workers. Methods Data were collected from Arouca Platform and statistical analysis was performed by the Open Free Software R 3.6. Results There were more than 2.8 million enrollments, counting more than 1 million students, from every SUS health regions, Brazilian municipalities and states. Courses with the greatest demands were related to important clinical situations faced by the Primary Care professionals in Brazil. There was a predominance of women (80%), whites (36%), followed by browns (33%), singles (57%) and in the age group of 21 to 40 years (70%). Nurses, doctors and dentists were the professionals who most sought courses at UNA-SUS. No relationship was found between enrollment in population-weighted self-instructional courses and the Brazilian State HDI, but a negative relationship was established between the Gini coefficient and enrollment in courses, showing that the more unequal the region, the fewer enrolled students it had. Conclusions The UNA-SUS is effective in providing continuing education through free, online course offerings, reaching users from different Brazilian geographic regions, including those leaving in areas with few presential or free educational opportunities, contributing to improve the service offered by the Brazilian Public Health System. Key messages Continuing education for Health Professionals in Brazil using online education courses is democratic. UNA-SUS is an effective system to consolidate the National Policy of Continuing Education.

Increased Risk

This article aims to highlight the discussions on the National Policy for Comprehensive Care in Clinical Genetics and reflect on its pending regulation when genomic discoveries change the model of health care. Nine of the ten causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide presents genetic/genomic predisposition. Based on strategic planning, this Policy proposes the organization of a network of referral services and specialized centers in genetics, with capacity to meet the needs of the population. Its regulation requires training and qualification of the health care professionals to provide comprehensive care, to optimize access, to identify and diagnose individuals with increased risk for injuries with genetic predisposition early. In primary health care, the care in question should not be interpreted as a specialty, but as specialized. This model presents innovative perspectives, in line with the principles and guidelines of the Unified Health System.
