Território usado e SUS: uma análise sobre o processo de regionalização da saúde no estado da paraíba. 2012. 109f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Geografia) - Centro de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2012.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/47599Currently one of the main challenges for strengthening SUS think regionalization is from new criteria, considering the different heritages within the existing territorial states. Contribute to the strengthening of this new perspective is the objective of this study, which analyzes the process of regionalization of health in the state of Paraíba from functional flows established in CNT / PB 2009. For this we need to understand through the art of politics and the territorial configuration materialized through the norms of SUS; Identify the organization and functional streams SUS against the territorial effectiveness of health care networks. This perspective starts from the understanding that geographical space is a social instance, an inseparable whole, supportive and also contradictory systems of objects and actions (Santos, 1996). So, what matters is the territory used to analyze synonymous with human space, living space (SANTOS, 2002). These uses are fruits of the inseparability of objects and actions and are associated with a vision of social and instance of geographical area (Silveira, 1999) given by the temporal and spatial coherence of the events, which reflect the dynamics of the different places and feasibility of the uses of the territory by the health system. To develop the research was conducted literature, documentary and statistical. The survey was conducted by statistical DATASUS, with the initial goal of identifying the structure of the physical network SUS from information CNES. resulting dispersion maps of health equipment. To analyze the effectiveness of such equipment over the regional force was necessary to design the mapping of flows through use of records forms often Authorization for Hospitalization (AIH) treated in Tabwin Software (Version 3.4). Subsequently all data were analyzed and treated cartographically in ArcGIS 9.3 (ERSI) using the IBGE municipal mesh covering the year 2007. Based on the results it was found that the drawings were not efficient regional ensure access to quality care and health services for medium and high complexity.território usadosaúdeSUSregionalizaçãoparaíbamasterThesis
