Logical models that associate activities, expenditure of resources, output of products, and results can be a useful assessment tool. Objective:To designand validate a logical model representingthe operationof a Family HealthcareUnit. Methodology:A literature review was initially performed, followed by participant observation and conversation with key informants. In addition, model was validated by professionals working at the Family HealthcareUnit (FHU) in a conversation roundtable. Results:Five dimensions were conceived: Work management;Noncare-related activities;Care-related activities; Permanent education;and In-service teaching, which relate to the mission of the service and the relevant resources (physical, information, partnerships and financial), thus constituting the model. Conclusions:The impacts achieved with the application of the model concernthe quality criteria (legitimacy, empowerment andproblem-solving capacity); the instituted healthcare model (active surveillance); features of the model itself (extended clinic, intersectoriality, multiprofessional actions); as well as professional motivation. Although themodel was validated only in a local Health Center, it follows a National Policy and may contribute to quality improvement of other Health Centersfrom different areasestratégia saúde da famíliaavaliação em saúdemecanismos de avaliação da assistência à saúdepesquisa sobre serviços de saúdeFamily Healthcare Strategyhealthcare services researchpublic health administrationhealthcare evaluation mechanismsarticlehttps://doi.org/10.21680/2446-7286.2021v7n3ID23921
