Joaçaba outpatient and hearing-care records

Compare reported outpatient procedure units with the hearing-care codes in the clinic’s signed service annex.

The two series use facility ID 2964511 in Joaçaba, Santa Catarina. Brazil’s outpatient reporting system, SIA, records approved procedure units. A person can account for several units. The clinic funding case traces the transfer and contractual commitments separately. The referral-area census estimates describe residents.

Approved units for the whole facility

The Ministry of Health’s ElastiCNES dashboard reports outpatient activity for the facility, including activity before the operator’s reported March 2025 opening. The published count field is SIA - QUANTIDADE APROVADA. The capture includes August 2026 as an institutional record with no approved outpatient count.

Monthly counts sum to the same figures as a separate yearly query of the dashboard. For 31 months, the field labeled submitted quantity repeats the approved monetary value. Use the approved-unit field for the counts above. An approval rate would require a verified submitted count.

Hearing-care records by processing month

Henrique Saraiva’s published extraction covers selected hearing-care codes from Brazil’s outpatient files. It groups records by the month they were processed, from August 2025 to July 2026. Count these records on their own reporting basis. Adding them to the whole-facility series would risk counting the same procedure twice.

The annex lists hearing-aid follow-up 0301070032 and remote follow-up 0301070253. Both fall outside this extraction’s code list. Checking the annex targets requires service-date records for the same activities and eligible population. Device handoffs, payments to the clinic and health outcomes require separate evidence.
