RESUMO

Indicators are essential for health care both in diagnosis, as in the evaluation and control of their actions. With SUS development, municipalities are still adjusting to the new tasks arising from municipalization process. So, a consistent health information system is very important, predominant factor in planning. The purpose of this study was to analize information systems and oral health indicators used by municipalities in the region of Osasco, besides improve them and propose the use of other indicators. The study was conducted in the municipalities belonging to the defunct Regional Direction of Health (DIR) V - Osasco, through the Committee for Oral Health in the region. Initially, the coordinators of oral health filled out questionnaires concerning information systems and indicators used. Then workshops were held with these coordinators to improve these tools. It was observed that municipalities face problems for the effective use of the indicators in control, evaluation and planning of actions of oral health. It is expected that the region, through the coordination of local oral health, develop mechanisms to use ever more and with higher quality the information generated by its information systems, translating them into useful and reliable indicators for the strengthening of their management .
