ABSTRACT
Objective:
To contribute to the debate about tools that favor the organization of the health work process and its interface with interdisciplinary practices.
Material and Methods:
We opted for a textual construction based on more specific publications on the field of oral health care.
Results:
The matrix support is configured as a method of inter-professional activity in co-management that aims to favor the qualification of the health care network. From this perspective, it is an interdisciplinary practice capable of integrating two or more areas of knowledge for a better performance of the actors involved in a given organizational and decision-making process, whether in the clinical or health management scope.
Conclusion:
Matrix support is an essential tool for the practice of managing health services and amplifying interdisciplinary actions.
