Abstract

The Brazilian Ministry of Health publishes a four-monthly report presenting the results achieved for the targets established under the objectives of a four-year planning cycle. Given the need for the National Congress to monitor these results and for the broader dissemination of health information, this study aims to use data visualization techniques to present the report's data through an interactive dashboard. To achieve this, a descriptive research approach with a case study methodology was conducted, focusing on the implementation of a data dashboard within the General Advisory Office of the Chamber of Deputies to support the Legislative Advisory. The dashboard was developed in Power BI using data extracted from PDF reports and converted into Excel spreadsheets. The result was the creation of eight dashboards, each corresponding to one strategic objective defined for the four-year period, in addition to a budget dashboard. The system consolidates the results of each four-month period, for each target and objective, creating a historical series that can be accessed in a unified plataform. This facilitates access to information contained in the reports and supports decision-making and oversight activities by stakeholders within the National Congress.
