A importância do matriciamento na promoção da atenção centrada no usuário do Serviço Único de Saúde (SUS)

Abstract

The implementation of the Unified Health System (SUS) in Brazil marked a significant transformation in the restructuring of health services, promoting a model of universal, equitable, and comprehensive care. Matriciamento (support matrix) emerged as an innovative strategy within this new paradigm, especially in the integration of mental health into Primary Health Care (PHC). The objective of this study is to analyze the contribution of matriciamento in promoting user health, exploring its effectiveness in enhancing the comprehensiveness of care, optimizing health service management, and improving the quality and efficiency of care. To achieve the proposed objective, a narrative literature review was conducted. It can be concluded that matriciamento is essential for transforming the management and care model in mental health within the context of SUS, highlighting the need for continuous investments in professional qualification and adequate resources to overcome existing challenges and maximize its benefits.
