[Health integrated residency: interaction of different fields]

Health Integrated Residency (RIS) has been stimulated by the Health Ministry in order to contribute to the development of new knowledge and practices which allow a more humanized and broader attention through interdisciplinarity. An investigation was carried out with the purpose of analyzing the Intensivist RIS area at Conceição Hospitalar Group in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. In this article we present the different areas of knowledge at RIS. It was an analytical and descriptive case study with a qualitative approach. For data collection, the Dialectic Hermeneutic Circle of Evaluation from the Fourth Generation was used. For data analysis the following steps were carried out: data ordering, data classification and final analysis. Results indicate integration is built up; however, it depends on features associated with individuals and workflow It is hindered by the centrality in physicians' activity as well as diverse ideas and philosophies and service setbacks as well.
