          Abstract

          Neste texto, partimos do pressuposto de que a integralidade da atenção é um eixo prioritário da investigação e avaliação dos serviços e sistemas de saúde, estruturados como redes assistenciais interorganizacionais que articulam dimensões clínicas, funcionais, normativas e sistêmicas em sua operacionalização, reconhecendo que nenhuma organização reúne a totalidade dos recursos e competências necessárias para a solução dos problemas de saúde de uma população, em seus diversos ciclos de vida. Em virtude da complexidade desse "sistema sem muros", que elimina as barreiras de acesso entre os diversos níveis de atenção, em resposta às necessidades de saúde nos âmbitos local e regional, julgamos oportuno compartilhar algumas "lições preliminares" aprendidas em experiências pessoais e na literatura sobre a integração de serviços, que nos parecem de interesse comum aos pesquisadores e gestores comprometidos com a sua implantação.

          Translated abstract

          The premise of this paper is that comprehensive health care is a major component in the investigation and evaluation of health services and systems, structured as inter-organizational health care networks articulating clinical, functional, normative, and systemic dimensions in their operationalization and based on the understanding that no organization combines all the necessary resources and capabilities to solve the health problems of a population with its various life cycles. Given the complex nature of this "system without walls", eliminating barriers to access in the various health care levels in response to local and regional health, we take this opportunity to share a few "preliminary lessons" from our experience and from the literature on integrated health services which may interest researchers and managers concerned with the implementation of such services.

              Assessment of regionalized perinatal programs.

              This paper addresses issues encountered in studies of the effectiveness of regionalized perinatal care. Regionalization of perinatal care has been actively promoted based upon the intuition that regionalization should reduce perinatal mortality and morbidity. When assessing the effectiveness of a perinatal service, one is interested in whether the service is being utilized appropriately and, if utilized appropriately, whether it is impacting upon outcome. Studies of utilization of regionalized perinatal care include studies of: utilization of the tertiary centre, non-utilization of the tertiary centre and antenatal transfer patterns. Studies of program impact are few. There is one quasi-experimental study which examines mortality and morbidity impact of a program and a few studies examining indirect hypotheses of the impact of regionalization on mortality. Despite the sparsity of the literature, there is evidence in the papers reviewed that regionalization of care may have impact on both mortality and morbidity. Further studies of the latter are needed. Further studies might also include measures of satisfaction of care providers, satisfaction of patients and maternal attachment, among others. In addition, since preliminary evidence implies that regionalized perinatal care is effective, future studies might include considerations of cost-effectiveness.
