Abstract

This study is part of a research being conducted with funding from FAPEMAT and aims to analyze the Family Health Strategy in Mato Grosso, Brazil. Specifically in this study, we present a profile of the health situation of the municipality from data collected from the Basic Health Information System (BHIS), available at DATASUS, aiming to analyze the health status of a municipality through the indicators produced by the SIAB in 2007. Initially, data were collected at DATASUS, then it was organized according to the strategic actions developed and analyzed based on literature reviewed. This study allowed us to conclude that it is evident the importance of the Family Health Strategy to change the health care model for the population, based on their place of residence and on the local and regional reality. For that it is necessary the recognition of the BHIS as an essential tool for planning implementation, monitoring and evaluation of actions in health in the Family Health Strategy program.
