Abstract

Objective: To analyze the Notifiable Diseases Information System regarding the acceptability,
punctuality and quality of Chikungunya Fever data in Pará, 2015-2017.
Method: An epidemiological study with the analysis of 17,148 cases of Chikungunya fever
obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System in the state of Pará between 2015
and 2017.
Results: The system showed punctuality in data acquisition and delay to produce the
information; its acceptability among the municipalities ranged from 22.92 to 65.28%; there
was a discrepancy in completeness among the mandatory and essential variables; with >1%
duplicity and improved validity.
Conclusion: The deficiencies and weaknesses identified in the System can be minimized by
reviewing the work process. The study provides reflection on the need for appropriate and
quality registration for decision making.
