Uchimura LYT. Diagnosis of the integration and adequacy of Emergency Care Units (ECU) in the state of Paraná regarding Healthcare Networks of the Brazilian Unified Health System [dissertation]. São Paulo: “Universidade de São Paulo, Faculdade de Medicina”; 2014. The National Emergency Care Policy (PNAU) was created toward organizing and planning the assistance network, expanding access and reducing inequalities that undermine the right to health, with the integration of healthcare levels as a form of organization at urgencies and emergencies. Guidelines for the organization of local and regional networks of comprehensive attention to urgencies, concepts, attributions and pre-requisites were defined for the implementation of the ECUs and stabilization rooms, at strategic locations/units for the configuration of these networks. The ECUs would be in charge of the assistance to cases of intermediate complexity that aim to establish the relationship between primary and tertiary care, being classified according to their structure, physical capacity installed, number of beds available, personnel management and daily capacity to perform medical services. The purpose of this study was to analyze the integration and adequacy of the ECUs regarding healthcare networks of the Brazilian Unified Health System in the state of Paraná. This is a case study on the construction process of the network of attention to urgencies and emergencies in Paraná, developed through semi-structured interviews conducted in 2012 with coordinators of a sample with 7 ECUs in Paraná among a total of 14. The sample was selected based on the services’ location, structure, management type and regional reach. Data was stored in a spreadsheet of Microsoft Excel and Stata 11 format and presented as absolute and relative frequencies. The management system of the ECUs in Paraná is administered directly by the municipality, and the financing of the ECUs directly between the Health Ministry and the municipalities, without intervention of the state government. The mechanisms of assessment were present in three services, with low frequency. The demand of the Emergence Care Units was higher than their capacity. It was observed a partial integration of the ECUs with the components of Paraná’s Emergency Network, and organizational and managerial inequality between services in metropolitan regions and towns. The assistance to cases with intermediate risks is performed according to pre-established norms for secondary care; however, the assistance to cases of low complexity in two services is not carried out in accordance with the proposal, suggesting, thus, possible failures in primary care. In the sample of Paraná’s ECUs, the services did not meet the norms of the Health Ministry according to their respective structure. The ECUs need to be integrated in a healthcare network policy in order to expand their resolution ability and guarantee the principles of the Brazilian Unified Health System.
