Abstract
Abstract
The Brazilian Health Information System for Indigenous Peoples (SIASI) was created in 1999 as
part of the Sub-System for Indigenous Peoples’
Health Care. The aim was to improve availability and access to crucial health information for
planning, implementation, and evaluation. The
current study analyzes the SIASI, focusing on its
creation, implementation, functioning, potential, and limitations. Documents were surveyed
in the Indigenous Peoples’ Health Department
of the National Health Foundation, followed by
comparative analyses with other health information systems. The SIASI is organized in eight
modules, three of which were in operation at the
time of the study. The system’s main limitations
involve data collection instruments, human
resources training, lack of interface with other
national health information systems, difficult
access to the data, and non-utilization of the
data to plan subsequent health activities. The
potentialities include the system’s simplicity,
comprehensiveness, and possibilities for disaggregating data. The study highlights the importance of a specific health information system for
indigenous peoples, due to their socio-cultural
and demographic specificities
