description Aims:To describe the characteristics of diabetic patients’ population attended in the public health sector of Alta Gracia city.To analyze the use of amount of monthly dispensations as indicator of adherence to treatment, by comparing the results between settings.To assess the coordination of public facilities for patients attention.Design: observational descriptive-analytical study.Settings: Hospital Arturo Umberto Illia (HAUI) and Dirección de Salud Pública (DSP). Alta Gracia (province of Córdoba, Argentina).Subjects: diabetic patients belonging to health programs at public facilities.Main measures: demographic and epidemiological variables, amount of monthly dispensations, percentage of global adherence and coordination of settings.Results: From diabetic patients’ total (n=540): 52% were attended at HAUI, 39% at DSP, and 9% at both settings; 55% were female, and the average age was about 56 years old; 81% were type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), 1% type 2 insulin-requiring DM, and 17% type 1 DM; the general mean of amount of monthly dispensations by patient was 4,9 in 12 months. Lack of trained personnel for information managing in both facilities was observed.Conclusions: The databases allowed knowing some demographic characteristics of diabetic population attended in the public sector of Alta Gracia. The dispensing frequency during 12 months was able to be used as an adherence to treatment indicator. The scarce coordination between care levels and jurisdictions (provincial and municipal) were confirmed. For decision making it is necessary to generate and maintain information systems.

Describir las características de la población de pacientes diabéticos atendida en el subsector público de salud de la ciudad de Alta Gracia. Analizar el uso de la cantidad de dispensaciones mensuales como indicador de adherencia al tratamiento, comparando resultados entre establecimientos sanitarios.Valorar la coordinación de efectores públicos en la atención de pacientes.Diseño: estudio observacional, descriptivo-analítico.Lugar: Hospital Arturo Umberto Illia (HAUI) y Dirección de Salud Pública (DSP). Alta Gracia (Provincia de Córdoba, Argentina).Participantes: pacientes diabéticos pertenecientes a programas de salud de efectores públicos.Mediciones principales: Variables demográficas y epidemiológicas, cantidad de dispensaciones mensuales, adherencia global porcentual y coordinación de efectores.Resultados: Del total de pacientes diabéticos (n=540): 52% se atendían en el HAUI, 39% en la DSP y 9% en ambos centros; 55% eran mujeres y la edad promedio fue de 56 años; 81% correspondían a Diabetes Mellitus (DM) tipo 2, 1% a DM tipo 2 insulino-requirentes y 17% a DM tipo 1; la media generalde cantidad de dispensaciones mensuales por paciente fue de 4,9 en 12 meses.Se observó falta de personal capacitado para gestión de información en ambos centros.Conclusiones: Las bases de datos permitieron conocer algunas características demográficas de la población diabética de Alta Gracia atendidas en el sector público. La frecuencia de dispensaciones durante los 12 meses pudo emplearse como indicador de adherencia al tratamiento. Se confirmó la exigua coordinación entre niveles de atención y jurisdicciones (provincial y municipal). Generar y mantener sistemas de información resulta necesario para tomar decisiones.
