NORMAS OPERACIONAIS BÁSICAS DO SUS- NOBS

Summary

The transcript explores the evolution of the Normas Operacionais Básicas (NOB) of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), focusing on key regulations, decentralization, and operational strategies. It highlights the progression of policies from 1991 to 1996, including the integration of municipalities as health system managers, the creation of financing mechanisms, and the reorganization of healthcare procedures. The NOB played a crucial role in shaping the SUS, empowering local and state governments, formalizing intergovernmental agreements, and establishing important frameworks for health management and disease control.

Q & A

What are the 'Normas Operacionais Básicas' (NOBs) in the context of the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS)?

The 'Normas Operacionais Básicas' (NOBs) are operational guidelines that regulate the services provided by the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). They were established through various portarias (regulatory acts) and aim to define the strategies and movements necessary for the implementation and operationalization of the SUS system.

How did the NOBs contribute to the regulation of SUS services?

The NOBs were responsible for setting the competencies of each government sphere in the SUS implementation, establishing criteria for resource transfers, and overseeing the decentralization process of the SUS. They also created mechanisms for the equal treatment of public and private service providers and centralized SUS management at the federal level.

What was the role of the NOBs in the decentralization of SUS?

The NOBs played a crucial role in decentralizing the SUS by defining the responsibilities of various government levels, especially municipalities and states. They facilitated the transfer of health management to local authorities, thus promoting greater local control and accountability in health services.

What was the significance of the NOB 91?

NOB 91, established in 1991, was significant because it equalized public and private healthcare providers regarding financing modalities, where both types were paid based on the production of services. It also centralized the SUS management at the federal level through INAMPS (National Institute of Social Security), which established funding ceilings for outpatient and hospital care.

What did NOB 93 introduce to the SUS system?

NOB 93, issued in May 1993, was the first norm issued by the Ministry of Health. It introduced the Bipartite and Tripartite Intergestor Commissions, which were key spaces for negotiation and articulation between different levels of government. It also formalized principles approved at the 9th National Health Conference (1992), and established a regular and automatic transfer system for health funds to municipalities.

How did NOB 93 impact the role of municipalities in health management?

NOB 93 was pivotal in making municipalities the primary managers of health within their territories. It marked a shift, making municipalities responsible for local health management and increasing their autonomy in decision-making.

What changes were introduced with NOB 96?

NOB 96 brought significant changes, such as new management conditions for states and municipalities. It focused on reorganizing the healthcare model and improving the management of medium and high-complexity procedures. It also reinforced the role of municipalities and states in health management, promoted health surveillance, and introduced integrated and agreed-upon programming for health actions.

What were the objectives of NOB 96 in the context of health system management?

The main objective of NOB 96 was to reorganize the healthcare system, particularly in relation to medium and high-complexity procedures. It also aimed to enhance health surveillance and integrate health actions through regional cooperation between municipal and state health authorities.

How did NOB 96 contribute to the expansion of health surveillance in Brazil?

NOB 96 integrated health surveillance, epidemiological control, and disease prevention into the management of the SUS. It established mechanisms for better coordination and execution of public health strategies at the state and municipal levels.

What role did NOB 93 play in fostering negotiation and collaboration in SUS management?

NOB 93 created the Bipartite and Tripartite Intergestor Commissions, which became important forums for negotiation and collaboration between different levels of government. This helped improve communication, coordination, and joint decision-making between federal, state, and municipal health managers.
