Abstract

The Brazilian population is heading towards change in demographic profile, accompanied by epidemiological transition with increasing number of affected by chronic diseases. One of the Ministry of Health\'s strategies is the National Program Promoting Health with a view to promoting quality of life and reduce vulnerability and risk to health. Allied to this, in 2011 the Ministry of Health launched the Health Academy Program. The program centers are spaces with equipment, structure and professionals, in order to promote health and care delivery. This study investigates the Health Academy program in two cities in the state of São Paulo in relation to the political cycle and identify limits on inclusion in the network of health care. For the analysis regarding the policy cycle, the data were extracted through literature review and document analysis. As for the empirical case study, aimed at identifying the program limits, semi-structured interviews with managers and professionals were held. We interviewed 05 managers and 10 professionals. The analysis was made from the dimensions: political and historical context, organizational model and management model of the poles through successive approximations. A simple descriptive analysis of the information processed were created database in Stata 12 platform is performing. The agenda entry in the cities studied meets the policies adopted within the federal government through the induction methods used by the health ministry. The induction process was accentuated by the poor state of government presence in decision making and implementation of federal programs. The state involvement occurred formative way. The implementation of projects are nonspecific, bringing little data on its proposed action, integration with the network of health care, specifically the Primary, and the intersectoral network of community support. The articulation with the assistance of network occurs irregularly and fragile. Lack of knowledge of the aims for professionals and managers, which hindered labor relations. Although attention belong to the network, the program is shifted contextually, since there is no integration between the service and others. Services are held in isolation for each professional and each health unit. Although introduced in a context of changing relations between the federal entities is configured as an action that is still implemented through strong federal induction to the municipality and through incentives and financial resources to support a federal agenda (AU)
