Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The aim is to present the INPAKTS platform, an innovative online simplified management tool that allows monitoring, visualization, and projection of the impact of external events, such as public policies or pandemics, on health indicators constructed with data from DATASUS. Ecological study where segmented linear models are constructed for interrupted time series that allow estimating temporal trends and their changes after interventions. From descriptive analysis and proportion comparison tests, several associated factors can be analyzed in addition to the spatial distribution of trend changes after interventions. Analyzing the impact of the pandemic and vaccination against COVID-19 on maternal mortality in the state of Paraná, a significant increase in maternal mortality was found that during the pandemic. However, this trend reversed after the start of vaccination, leading to fewer deaths. INPAKTS allows managers to learn from the past and prepare to respond to external events by making the most assertive decisions, contributing to the health system’s resilience.
