SUS Intelligence Center will be opened this Tuesday(30)

The Piauí Health Department (Sesapi) presented, this Monday (29), the Strategic Intelligence Center for State Management of the SUS (Cieges). The development of the new tool received technical support from the National Council of Health Secretaries (Conass), which aims to organize and make consolidated public health data available to managers, through dynamic and individualized panels. The inauguration of Cieges takes place this Tuesday (30).

“It is a very interesting initiative, which the states are joining. It is a new platform with different information. This system can integrate the data, so that several people can carry out the analysis. It will be possible to carry out internal analysis, for Sesapi managers themselves, and municipalities will also be able to use the information for their decision-making”, highlighted Antonio Luiz, State Secretary of Health.

Cieges uses tools and methodologies to identify patterns and trends in large volumes of data and information, creating relevant insights for making quick and strategic decisions in different areas of planning management, budgets and finances, human resources, public health, among others.

This will make it possible to monitor the health situation, effectiveness of public policies, inputs and interventions and final results through data collection from national and state information systems. Hospitals, health units, laboratories, health and epidemiological surveillance systems will be covered with a focus on health regions and macro-regions in the state of Piauí.

“We have been working on this platform since last year. Cieges aims to bring together all strategic information for decision-making in a timely manner. It involves indicators from the management, primary care, high complexity and surveillance areas. It will be a game changer, to make the Secretariat’s actions more effective”, emphasizes Clécio Lopes, Planning director at Sesapi.

After organizing the first data, Sesapi will make a real-time platform available to the external public.

“Piauí is the fifth Brazilian state to organize and formalize this work, which is being developed throughout the country. We are creating a network with the 27 states, to strengthen the analysis capacity of each unit and encourage an exchange of experience to increasingly qualify SUS management”, recalls Sandro Terabe, manager of Cieges/Conass.
