Orientador(es)
Resumo(s)
Mental health indicators are essential for monitoring people’s mental
health status, developing mental health policies, and evaluating the performance of
such policies. The aim of this paper is to describe the development of a web-based
tool for mental health indicators capable to support the management of Brazilian
mental health care networks. The SISAM is a web information system responsible
for management and provision of mental health information in Brazil and it was
chosen as the use case of this study. The indicators were developed as a decision
support web tool for public health managers. The tool is able to calculate 11
indicators related to inpatient care. A descriptive analysis of all indicators is
presented using SISAM data from 2017. The results generated by the tool are
promising and could provide improvements on care monitoring, evaluation of
possible trends and investments in prevention and promotion in mental health care.
