Abstract

The nurse has a fundamental role for the elaboration of health strategies in primary care, capable of understanding the population scenario and reorganizing the work plan with the multidisciplinary team, to prevent injuries, promote health and refer to other levels of care, those conditions that limit the sequence of care in primary care. The transition of care between levels of health care is a challenge in Brazil. Coordination of the care of the population is the responsibility of primary care with the participation of other levels of care in a complementary way. Even with the segregation of public and private health care, coordination of care is not well established in both structures. The construction of coordination of care by nurses through the development of management strategies and interrelation with other levels of health care is an alternative for better clinical results for the population.Therefore, the objective of this study was Describe the roles and responsibilities of nurses in the Qmentum IQG Certification Program in Primary Health Care.
