“…Primary Health Care (PHC) in Brazilian cities via Basic Health Units (BHU) and Family Health Strategy teams (FHS) have not provided, at least so far, adequate care to the general population, according to the final report of the XIV National Health Conference (BRASIL, 2011) and corroborated by other authors (PUCCINI;CORNETTA, 2008;BREHMER;VERDI, 2010;MACHADO et al, 2011;RABETTI;FREITAS, 2011;DUARTE, 2012) In fact, most patients who are received in BHU seek care in the Emergency Medical Unit (EMU) LIMA, 2017;LUDWIG;BONILHA, 2003), which are not the priority door of access to the Unified Health System (UHS), overloading these units and compromising the quality of care to the population (RANDOW et al, 2011;OLIVEIRA et al, 2015). Indeed, it appears to be normal for Brazilian population the use of the EMU for cases where the medical appointment takes a long time (MARQUES; LIMA, 2017) or for acute, emergencial or intercurrent cases from specialized units (LUDWIG;BONILHA, 2003).…”

“…O SUS garante o acesso aos serviços de saúde em todos os níveis de assistência de forma integrada, hierarquizada e seguindo um nível crescente no atendimento das complexidades. [1][2] A assistência no âmbito do SUS estabeleceu-se através da organização das ações e dos procedimentos em três níveis de complexidade: atenção primária, média complexidade e alta complexidade ambulatorial e hospitalar. 2 Esse sistema é configurado em redes sustentadas por critérios, fluxos e mecanismos de pactuação de funcionamento, para assegurar a atenção integral aos usuários.…”

Na compreensão de rede, deve-se reafirmar a perspectiva de seu desenho lógico, que prevê a descentralização e organização do atendimento em níveis de complexidade, viabilizando encaminhamentos mais resolutivos.…”

“…The ECUs offer an intermediate level of care, mediating referrals from the BHUs/FHS and hospitals to resolve acute or exacerbated clinical cases. A study carried out in southern Brazil revealed that most of the treatment provided by this high complexity service is not an ideal fit for urgent and emergency cases, creating confusion in the organizational structure, with emotional harm to patients and professionals, compromising the quality of care provided 8 . Treatment of PHC-sensitive conditions in ECUs is an evaluative indicator of the first level of health care, as efficient actions in the promotion and prevention of comorbidities result in a reduction in hospital admissions 9 .…”
