The data analysis emerged the phenomenon foreseeing the relationships and interactions of the CHCA in improving care for users as a complex network, composed of the inter-relationship of six categories. The network of relationships and interactions of the CHCA is a unit that, serving as the care process facilitator between health care and the community, composes the “health” system.
