Home visit and home care in the Primary Care: a look on oral health

ABSTRACT The objective of the present work was to analyze the process of home care within the primary care teams that joined the National Program for Access and Quality Improvement. A study was conducted from the database of the program related to the dimension that has evalua -ted the accomplishment of home visit and home care, with emphasis on the practices of the oral health team. Almost 100% of the evaluated family health teams perform home visits. The home care is performed by more than 90% of the professionals of the minimum team, and by appro-ximately 50% of professionals of the oral health team. The oral health team has challenges to overcome towards the new practices in primary care. ERDS Home visit; Oral health; Primary Health Care.
