Aim: describe the methodological approach adopted to build a Brazilian database of LCTFs in the country. Methods: This exploratory research was conducted between August 2020 and 2021 based on primarily publicly accessible data. First, the database of the Sistema Único de Assistência Social for 2019 was adopted as the primary source of information. In addition, public agencies and managers were consulted and invited to share their databases. Likewise, researchers and private entities also collaborated by making their spreadsheets available. The information collected was placed in individual spreadsheets for each Brazilian state. LTCFs not catering to older adults (aged 60 and over) were excluded. Duplicate data were excluded when overlaps were identified for each new aggregated source. Results & Discussion: This brief communication describes the methodology adopted for mapping the current status of Brazilian LTCFs. Despite its caveats, this study represents an important advance in the identification, characterization, and monitoring of these services nationwide. A total of 5769 facilities were found in the 2019 SUAS census. After excluding facilities not caring for residents aged 60 or over, this total decreased to 2381 LTCFs. Consolidating and filtering the information from multiple data sources led to the identification of 7029 LTCFs for the country as a whole.
OBJECTIVE: To describe the methodological approach adopted to build a database of long-term care facilities (LCTFs) in Brazil. METHODS: This exploratory research was conducted for 12 months, between August 2020 and July 2021, based on primarily publicly accessible data. First, the Unified Social Assistance System (Sistema Único de Assistência Social [SUAS]) database from 2019 was adopted as the primary source of information. In addition, public agencies and managers were consulted and invited to share their databases, while researchers and private entities collaborated by making their spreadsheets available. Data were organized in spreadsheets for each Brazilian state. LTCFs not catering to older adults (aged 60 years and over) were excluded. Duplicate data were excluded when overlaps were identified. RESULTS: This brief communication describes the methodology adopted for mapping the current status of Brazilian LTCFs. Despite its caveats, this study represents an important advance in the identification, characterization, and monitoring of these services nationwide. A total of 5769 facilities were found in the 2019 SUAS census. After excluding facilities not caring for residents aged 60 years or over, this number decreased to 2381 LTCFs. The consolidation and filtering of information from multiple data sources led to the identification of 7029 LTCFs throughout the country. CONCLUSION: Building a solid database was paramount to devising a national policy on long-term care. By including multiple sources, the scope of this survey was wider than all previous efforts and constituted an unprecedented collaborative experience in the country, including the potential to become the first national dataset for the Brazilian LTC sector.
Gorceix, ao dar início a seu trabalho, para o funcionamento da Escola, se encontrava sobrecarregado com a reconstrução do velho edifício a ela destinado e com todas as tarefas exigidas na sua organização, como a obrigação de, constantemente, se dirigir à Corte para a resolução de casos que a todo instante surgiam.Necessária se tornou a admissão de um coadjuvante, do apoio de uma pessoa de confiança, que se encarregasse dos serviços pendentes em Ouro Preto e da guarda dos objetos pertencentes à Escola.Gorceix admitiu como coadjuvante o sr. Francisco Luiz Maria de Brito e, verificando a sua capacidade para o serviço, lutou para conseguir sua nomeação para Secretário da Escola. A proposta não podia ser aceita: havia candidato de mais peso, bacharel e com assento na Assembléia Legislativa. O máximo conseguido por Gorceix foi a designação daquele cidadão para, durante suas ausências, fiscalizar as obras de reconstrução do prédio, cuidar da conservação dos objetos da Escola, tendo a seu cargo todos os trabalhos referentes à Biblioteca e à Secretaria, para os quais tinha aprovação total de Gorceix, prestando serviços até a chegada do secretário que veio a ser nomeado: Bel. José Eufrosino Ferreira de Brito.Francisco Luiz Maria de Brito, apesar de ter sido o braço direito de Gorceix, na fase prática da organização da Escola, permanece, até hoje, um desconhecido na história da Escola de Minas. Seu nome apenas aparece assinando a ata de instalação da Escola no papel de secretário que não lhe foi permitido ser. Foi ele, no entanto, sem dúvida, o organizador inicial da Biblioteca e da Secretaria da Escola, onde seu nome deveria se encontrar em evidência.
Once André Malraux said that "as it is impossible to resuscitate the dead, we resuscitate the dreams" and popular wisdom complements: "it is the most beautiful teaching that can be linked to the youth of today and the men of tomorrow". Herein, one of these dreams is relived. It begins 150 years ago with the birth of CLAUDE HENRI GORCEIX in Saint Denis des Murs (Haute Vienne), a small village of only four houses, on October 19, 1842, son of Antoine Gorceix and Valerie Cecile Gorceix. When he was almost 9 years old, his father died and his mother, together with her seven children, went to live in Saint Leonard. At 12 years of age, he obtained a scholarship at the Liceu de Limoges, where he distinguished himself for his active intelligence and devotion to his work. He attributed his successes to his professors for whom he preserved an undisputable remembrance until the end of his life. After receiving his diploma in 1860, his scholarship was transferred to the Liceu de Douai, where a mathematics course prepared him for the Éscole Normale (sciences), the preparation of which was completed at the Instituição Massin in Paris. The following year, he entered the École Normale (Sciences). Here, he demonstrated a passion for Geology and Mineralogy, subjects in which he was said to be not only brilliant, but also very active, forecasting a career as a geologist. He finished the course in 1866 with a "Generalist in physical sciences and mathematics" diploma. Appointed Professor of Physics at the Liceu de Angoulême, he returned to Éscole as aggregated preparer of Geology and afterwards was sent to Athens as a science professor at the famous L'École française d'Anthènes.
