A política nacional de educação permanente em saúde com foco na segurança do paciente

Abstract

Introduction: The research theme refers to the strategies of the National Policy of Permanent Education in Health (PNEPS) focused on the safety of patient care. I emphasize that an important strategy for risk management in health services is the adoption of public policies such as the National Policy on Continuing Education in Health. Methods: This research is applied in nature and has a qualitative approach with an exploratory and descriptive objective, of documentary nature. The research universe was the Planalto Norte Catarinense region. In the data collection, we explored the Regional Plan of Permanent Education in Health of the Planalto Norte-Catarinense, publications of the Commission of Integration Teaching-Service and documents of the State Department of Health of SC. Results: It was possible to identify that the PNEPS has recognized importance in the region, because through the implementation of an idealized public policy at the national level, it considers regional specificities and needs to set objectives with a focus on professionals and health indicators. Conclusion: The data evidenced the initiatives that have been or are being consolidated under the influence of historical, political and cultural aspects of each municipality, and the existence or not of an active nucleus of patient safety (NPS).
