Territorial Invasions in the VI Health Region of Rio Grande do Norte in Virtue of Obstetric Procedures in 2018

Abstract

Introduction: From the organizational point of view of the Unified Health System, decentralization and regionalization aim to expand resolvability at the local level, reducing inequality in health care for the population. In the midst of the difficulties of financing the services of the three levels of assistance complexities in all municipalities, the option is for the formation of Health Regions (RS). In Rio Grande do Norte (RN), its 167 municipalities are divided into eight Health Regions. Objective: Identify the obstetric and State procedures that most often caused territorial invasions in health care in the VI health region of Rio Grande do Norte in 2018. Methodology: Quantitative, exploratory and descriptive study conducted with secondary data, referring to 2018, captured in TABWIN, TabNet, CNES and database of the agreed schedule and hospital production provided by the State Secretariat of Public Health of Rio Grande do Norte (SESAP). Results: They indicated the existence of territorial invasion in the health region, affirming the greater representativeness of this invasion by neighboring states. Conclusions: The territorial invasion appears to be present in the health region and in the State, awakening views on this issue and its implications, potentiating new concerns.
