[Planning and instrumental rationality: an analysis of theoretical production in strategic health planning in the 1990s in Brazil].

This article analyzes recent theoretical production in Brazil on strategic health planning, focusing on instrumental logic. The approach centers on authors who have emphasized theoretical and methodological aspects of strategic planning. Emphasis is on the need to develop a new instrumentality capable of answering dilemmatic questions faced in health issues (professional health workers' efficacy/personal achievement) in order to recover the teleological planning action. The author provides a proposal that considers planning a modulator for the incorporation of technology by health institutions.

[Analysis of planning as a mediating device for institutional changes, based on a case study].

This study analyzes the role of planning technologies in a changing institutional environment in which they are involved as a space for mediation. This is a qualitative study, in which planning technologies were compared with theoretical landmarks in public health. A case study was conducted at the Cândido Ferreira Health Service in Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil. By way of conclusions, the author proposes a methodological approach to stimulate the use of planning technologies as a device for institutional change. The focus is on the importance of planning in establishing a dialogue with other theoretical corpora, such as institutional analysis, psychoanalysis, and public health.
