Article Abstract

Objective: To build and validate a logical model of the line of care for people with chronic kidney disease.

Methods: This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, with documentary research and analysis of primary data collected in interviews with key informants, carried out from May to September 2019, in the Guarani Aquifer Health Region, belonging to the Regional Health Department 13. Based on the theoretical framework proposed by McLaughlin and Jordan, five stages were followed: collection of relevant information; description of the problem and context; defining the elements of the logical model; construction and validation.

Results: The logical model was organized into three care dimensions - primary health care, specialized care and high complexity care - composed of structure, process and result components.

Conclusion: The constructed logical model has the potential to contribute to the assessment of the line of care for people with chronic kidney disease, in order to achieve better results in the management of this disease, something that favors both the patient and the health system.
