Objectives:
to identify the strategies for integrated care used regarding Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases in a Health District.
Methods:
a case study developed in a district of a municipality in southern Brazil, with 34 participants (coordinators and nursing assistants). Data were collected between August 2016 and June 2017, through interviews, documents and computerized files. To organize the data, the MAXQDA® software was used. Analysis took place using the Integrated Care Network model.
Results:
integration strategies were highlighted in the systemic, normative and functional dimensions, such as coordination, district organization, Annual Operating Plan, information system, and user management service.
Final Considerations:
the district comprises a structure that enables interactions through various tools; among these, coordination represents an effective strategy to enhance care, boost cooperation among professionals and support and manage the district.
