Abstract

 

The adequability of Psychology patterns of intervention have been discussed since the first incursions of psychologists on the Public Health System, that have a redundant health care, individual and inefficient. However, the interference on deliberations, orientations and exigencies of the Brazilian United Health System’s Ambulatory Care Information System (SIA/SUS), that provides psychologists with a set of procedures has been overlooked. This study analised the reports of psychological procedures in Natal/RN, available at SIA/SUS, aiming to verify how its structure influences the maintenance of models of professional practice. Data suggest a permanence of compartmentalized actions, specially in morbid occurrences. Constraints to the development of innovative actions has led psychology professionals either to record them in a disguised format or to persist in using traditional procedures. It is our conclusion that, in what concerns Psychology, the information system constrains the development of a model of professional practice more in agreement with the sanitation reform ideals.
