It presents a case study performed in Portugal on professional evaluation systems in primary care. The objectives were to analyze the implanting trajectory, organizational structure and the management tools employed, as well as to discuss about the processes that have been instituted in Brazil along with National Program for Improving Access and Quality (PMAQ).
