Resumo: | The article analyzes the coordination of information and clinical management between levels of care in physicians’ experience and explores related labor and organizational factors and attitudes towards the work and interaction. This is a cross-sectional study with application of the COORDENA-BR questionnaire to a sample of 64 primary health care (PHC) physicians and 56 specialized care (SC) from the public system in a medium-sized Brazilian city. The results show limited linkage of care in the Healthcare Network (RAS), with differences between PHC and SC. There is no exchange of information on diagnosis, treatment, or tests. Physicians in PHC agree more on the treatments prescribed by the specialists than vice versa, but repetition of tests is not frequent. PHC physicians refer patients to SC when necessary. Most medical specialists do not refer patients for follow-up consultations in PHC when necessary and do not give orientation to PHC physicians, who in turn fail to resolve their doubts with SC. Both PHC and specialties report long waiting times for specialist consultations. Temporary employment contracts are more common in PHC. Consultation time was considered too short for coordination between the two. Most physicians do not plan to change jobs, despite their heavy dissatisfaction with wages and work. Physicians do not know each other personally, and specialists do not identify physicians in PHC as the coordinators of care. Policies and measures to guarantee structural conditions to improve access, working conditions, and more favorable mutual adaptation need to be implemented systemically to the set of services in the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS). |

Se trata de un estudio transversal con aplicación del cuestionario COORDENA-BR; la muestra cuenta con 64 médicos de la atención primaria en salud (APS) y 56 de la atención especializada (AE) de la red pública en municipios de tamaño medio. Los resultados muestran una limitada coordinación del cuidado en la Red de Atención en Salud (RAS), con diferencias entre APS y AE. No existe intercambio de información sobre diagnóstico, tratamiento y exámenes. Médicos de la APS están más de acuerdo con los tratamientos indicados en la AE que lo contrario, a pesar de que la repetición de exámenes no es frecuente. Médicos de la APS dirigen pacientes a la AE cuando es necesario. La mayoría de los médicos de la AE no realiza derivaciones a consultas de seguimiento, cuando es necesario, y no realiza orientaciones para la APS que, a su vez, no aclara dudas con el profesional de la AE. Ambos refieren largos tiempos de espera para una consulta especializada. Los vínculos laborales temporales son más frecuentes en la APS. El tiempo de consulta se consideró insuficiente para la coordinación. La mayoría de los médicos no pretendía cambiar de empleo, aunque sea elevada la insatisfacción con salarios y trabajo. Los médicos no se conocen personalmente y los especialistas no identifican al médico de la APS como coordinador del cuidado. Políticas y acciones para la garantía de condiciones estructurales de mejoría en el acceso, de condiciones de trabajo y de adaptación mutua más favorables necesitan ser implementadas de forma sistémica para el conjunto de los servicios del Sistema Único de Salud (SUS).O artigo analisa a coordenação da informação e da gestão clínica entre níveis assistenciais na experiência de médicos e explora fatores laborais, organizacional, de atitude frente ao trabalho e de interação relacionados.
