[Monitoring of performance of health surveillance management: tools and strategies of use].

A tool is proposed to monitor the performance of Health Surveillance at state level and strategies for broadening its use. The use of participatory methodologies in all stages of monitoring is recommended, from designing the tool to the analysis and interpretation of indicators. This can be a way of involving stakeholders and improving their joint responsibilities in decision-making, thus increasing the use of the monitoring tool. The monitoring instrument was built after the design of the logical model of the management of health surveillance and indicators of each component of management were submitted to a validation process. Monitoring is understood as a reflexive practice that promotes personal and institutional learning, continuous enhancement of management processes, greater transparency and accountability, besides its operational use for decision making.
