Resumo:
In the health sector the information is used in guiding decision-making in order to plan the execution of actions restricting the reality the necessary changes. The research objective was to identify the potential limits on completing the Primary Care Information System (SIAB), in a small northeastern Brazilian city of Paraiba. This is an exploratory and descriptive qualitative methodological approach based on the theoretical principle of dialectical and historical materialism, which understands that human existence in society is conditioned by its material base, in a dialectical relationship, showing that history is always moving. The analysis of the empirical material was based on the techniques of discourse analysis indicated by Fiorin (2008). It was found that feeding this information system is successfully implemented in this municipality, and good progress was given by municipalities in this regard, but are still tied to numerous difficulties in relation to the technological infrastructure in health, which can impair the efficiency of data collection influencing their quality.
