Objective:to understand how the implementation of the e-SUS Primary Care system has been processed and its impact on the daily life of the health teams.
Method:a qualitative research study, conducted in a municipality in the inland of the state of São Paulo with professionals who work in Primary Health Care and use the e-SUS Primary Care system as a work tool.
