SUMMARY:

Introduction: Centros Especializados em Reabilitação (CER) are health services, qualified by the Ministry of Health, and responsible for specialized care for people with disabilities. They play a key role in the Care Network for People with Disabilities (RCPD) for the care of people with disabilities, as well as for granting, adapting and maintaining assistive technologies. Although they play an important social and assistance role, there are few studies aimed at evaluating this health service, which denotes the need for research based on the health evaluation aspect. Objective: Analyze the work process and the organizational issues of RECs and propose a logical model for evaluating the service. Method: Qualitative study developed in three stages: 1) Documentary study of laws and ordinances related to the health service and RCPD. 2) Conducting focus groups, with a census study of RECs in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, to assess and understand the organization of the work process in the daily service. 3) Systematization of the collected information, proposition and validation of the logical evaluation model. The information collected was categorized by thematic content analysis and analyzed from the perspective of the theoretical references of collective health and health assessment. Result: The proposed logical model was validated by the focal group representative of the services that make up the RCPD. The model encompassed five central categories of the work process and organizational issues: demands, resources (inputs, financial and workforce), processes, products and results, plus the CER's mission and values, strengths and weaknesses identified during the focus groups. The bureaucratization of the service, the inflexibility of the ordinances and the lack of assessment instruments were identified as weaknesses of the RECs; and as challenges, difficulties in agreeing goals, indicators and parameters, as well as a difficulty in dynamic articulation between other services in the network and outside the network. Conclusion: The proposed logical model was adequate for graphic representation of the work process and organizational issues of RECs . From the model, it can be seen that the process performed in the day-to-day services is aligned with the rules for its operation, however it points out practical gaps that need to be addressed in order to improve the resolvability of the service's actions and the articulation with other points in the network. The logical model can be used as an instrument of management, knowledge, information and communication, and can be used in the decision-making process in health and planning by managers and professionals, just as it can be used by researchers in the development of performance indicators that can evaluate the service.
