REY-GAMERO, Andrea Catherine  and  ACOSTA-RAMIREZ, Naydú. The primary health care competency approach. A literature review. Rev. Gerenc. Polit. Salud [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.25, pp.28-39. ISSN 1657-7027.

In order to provide evidence on tools which foster the proper implementation of the strategy of Primary Health Care (phc) with a renewed focus, an appropriate structural axis and interest to the integrated care management in the health system, a systematic review of literature on competency-based approach was performed, with emphasis on the methodologies used to define human talent profiles of multidisciplinary teams of phc. Among the inclusion criteria were considered countries with extensive experience and evidence of achievement in phc: Brazil, Canada, Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Spain and Peru. It was found that among the methodologies to define competence profiles, the functional analysis is highlighted. The competences with less literature and which were less developed were those for team officials with managerial roles.
