Model for evaluating the effectiveness of physiotherapeutic activities in primary care

The research aimed to develop a model to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapeutic activities in primary care. The model was elaborated based on the literature, through interviews with experts involved in physiotherapeutic activities in Primary Health Care and a consensus conference for validation with specialists. The proposed evaluation matrix is composed of three dimensions – care, management and health promotion actions – and nine indicators. This proposed model will be later applied to verify its applicability, the need for adjustments and the possibility of replication in different contexts.
