Abstract
This work aims to reflect, based on the research carried out in the municipality of Piraí-RJ, on the matrix process and its implications for the management of health care. Using cartography as a methodological reference, it was possible to work on the matrix support theme, with students / scholarship holders of the PET Saúde (Education Program for Health Work), exercising the process of implication and accountability as actors that operate health care. The researchers realized that in the production of health, the definition by a model of care, on the part of the manager, is not sufficient to determine the implementation of the principles of SUS. In this perspective, matrix support was characterized as an important tool for the management change of health services, considering its potential to modify the hierarchical logic of health management and for the integration of mental health actions in primary health care. Along this path, the formulations helped to understand matrix support as a device to produce subjectivities for the management of health care.
