The purpose of this study was to identify, through a needs analysis, the skills required of the clinical supervisory role in certified home health agencies as described in the literature and as perceived by clinical supervisors and agency administrators. The identified skills were then used to propose elements for a training curriculum. The general problem guiding this research is the lack of a systematic approach to supervisory training and development in certified home health agencies in Massachusetts that may result in supervisory employees being inadequately prepared to assume the responsibility of that role. A descriptive survey design was utilized. A questionnaire was mailed to first-line clinical supervisors and their administrators to assess the skill requirements of the supervisory role as perceived by these respective groups. The sample survey, which consisted of 125 certified home health agencies, was obtained from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. The response rate was 63% for the administrators and 65% for the supervisors. A modified version of the conceptual framework of the needs identification process as presented by Watson (1979) was utilized in conducting the analysis, and the skills were categorized using Katz's model (1974) of conceptual, technical, and human competencies. The findings of the analyses showed that the administrative respondents perceived a greater need for the skill development of their supervisors in all three areas of conceptual, technical, and human skills than the supervisors perceived for themselves. In addition, supervisory respondents with 6-10 years of professional experience and those with over 21 years of supervisory experience reported the greatest need in all three areas. The findings also showed that the majority of incumbent supervisors in certified home health agencies were technically at an entry-level stage of management, and that the combined responses of both the administrative and supervisory respondents supported the need for additional training in the technical and human skill areas. As a result, the concluding recommendations for curricula development for training programs for incumbent and future clinical supervisors were focused on those skills specific to the technical and human competency areas as described in the study.

A rela????o intergovernamental inerente ao processo de descentraliza????o remete ao problema te??rico cl??ssico sobre a possibilidade de a????o coletiva ou de coopera????o entre os entes aut??nomos na ades??o ?? pol??tica nacional de sa??de. Para potencializar o processo de descentraliza????o, fortalecendo estados e munic??pios para exercerem papel de gestores e para que as demandas dos diferentes interesses loco-regionais possam ser organizadas e expressadas na regi??o, ?? refor??ada a diretriz da Regionaliza????o do Sistema ??nico de Sa??de (SUS). O processo de regionaliza????o da aten????o ?? sa??de em Minas Gerais, especialmente referente ?? gest??o regional de sa??de trouxe ?? luz um novo cen??rio para o Colegiado dos Secret??rios Municipais de Sa??de de Minas Gerais (COSEMS/MG). Este cen??rio imp??s uma nova proposta de atua????o do COSEMS/MG, com a implanta????o do Projeto Apoiador, frente ?? gest??o regional de sa??de, buscando fortalecer a institui????o, os COSEMS Regionais e os gestores municipais na gest??o microrregional de sa??de. O objeto deste trabalho ?? analisar o Projeto Apoiador como estrat??gia de melhoria da rela????o intergovernamental, especialmente para os gestores municipais, no espa??o regional de gest??o do SUS/MG, a partir da percep????o dos gestores de sa??de que atuam no espa??o regional. Os resultados obtidos apontam que Projeto rebaixa os custos de transa????o propiciando a coopera????o na rela????o intergestores no espa??o regional; promove a dissemina????o de informa????es; fortalece a atua????o regional do COSEMS; fortalece a capacidade pol??tico institucional dos munic??pios e dos COSEMS Regionais nas rela????es intergovernamentais que precisam de coopera????o e coordena????o em nosso Estado Federativo; aglutina gestores no COSEMS Regional e possibilita a contextualiza????o da discuss??o estadual do COSEMS com a Secretaria de Estado da Sa??de de Minas Gerais (SES/MG). / Sa??de
