Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the performance of the Qualification Program for Health Surveillance Actions (PQA-VS) and the difficulties in carrying out actions according to the size of the municipality. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 30 municipalities in the Topama Network and lower PQA-VS results. Municipalities were classified into Small Size I (PPI), Small Size II (PPII), Medium and Large Size (MGP). Data were collected on the profile of health professionals, percentage of achievement of PQA-VS goals, and difficulties in compliance. Descriptive and Kruskal-Wallis analysis was performed. Results: Of the 407 respondents, 17.7% were PPI and 43.0% PPII. Municipalities in the PPII had more targets met (10.0; 95%CI:8.3-10.6) and PQA-VS percentage (100.0%; 95%CI:93.9-102.3). The greatest difficulties in carrying out actions were the work process; Permanent Education; lack of resources; and operationalization of information systems. Conclusion: There was a need for planning, agreement, evaluation and monitoring.
