Abstract

This is a paper about IdeiaSUS, an Oswaldo Cruz Foundation’s initiative associated with CONASS & CONASEMS, two health secretaries organizations of nationwide, which attempts to focus on a theoretical framework to structure a collaborative network of practices and experiences within SUS, the Unified Health System of Brazil. Our intent was to address how a comprehensive methodology might help tangible local knowledge emerge as a territorial innovation by fostering social mobilization, with the purpose of characterizing whether these arrangements converge to what is called a community of practices. The authors emphasize that the existence of IdeiaSUS/Fiocruz as a collaborative platform opens new perspectives for the analysis and systematization of registered practices, as well as the establishment of curatorships in collaboration with academic consortia and partners of Fiocruz/Conass/Conasems, which in recent years has promoted the discussion of health practices by professionals and managers in SUS.
