Description

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze factors associated with the implementation of software systems of the e-SUS Primary Care strategy in municipalities of Minas Gerais. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted with municipal managers of the e-SUS Primary Care strategy. A sample of cities stratified according to population size was selected. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyzes were performed to identify factors associated with the implementation of the systems. Results: In 49.1% (95%CI: 39.5-58.8) of the municipalities investigated, some of the e-SUS Primary Care systems were implemented. Time working as a strategy manager (OR: 3.03) and training for Primary Care professionals in the municipality (OR: 2.28) were associated with the implementation of the systems. Conclusion: The presence of a trained manager leading the implementation process impacted the implementation of the e-SUS AB strategy software systems in the municipalities of Minas Gerais. It is also essential to highlight the need to improve the technological infrastructure for the computerization of Primary Care.
