It currently shelters two projects: (1) Digital Health – development of electronic tools for the evaluation of services and health programs – and (2) Oral Health Information Management. The execution of these actions has a remote nature, in digital platforms and on-site at the Oral Health Information Management Laboratory. Aiming to improve the qualification of the actors involved, there has been seminars, courses, and events for each project, as well as the provision of technical and scientific products: research with undergraduate and post-graduate students; elaboration and dissemination of analytical newsletters for health services; development and use of digital health tools. The OSB is a collaborative support work network with multiple academic representatives (professors, undergraduates, residents, masters, and masters in the field of Public Health and Informatics) and services (city and state administrators, managers, professionals, and users of the dental services of the SUS), in which systematically coordinate to implement actions developed collectively. The operationalization of this program has promoted the integration with the service, aiming the improvement of management practices and the practice of professional in this field and has contributed to rapid and timely decision-making, guided on scientific evidence, enabling the improvement of the quality and promotion of health.
