ABSTRACT Objective: To develop a workflow protocol for Home Care (HC) services in the HC2 modality for children with special health care needs (CSHCN) in the state of Parana. Method: Quantitative, descriptive, exploratory, multiple case studies. Data was collected with professionals from the eight home care services in Parana. Data were analyzed using the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) methodology, from which a 5W2H method of action plan was developed, resulting in a flow chart. Results: Considering the strategies found in Home Care services, such as planned hospital discharge, caregiver training, organized transportation and singular therapeutic project, a flow organization protocol for children with special health care needs in Home Care services was developed. Conclusion: The protocol developed makes it possible to organize the care provided to children with special health care needs in home care.

Introduction: People with special health care needs (SHCN) have a higher risk of contracting certain oral diseases, such as dental cavities and gingivitis, and a limited use of dental care services can significantly affect these risks. Objective: To assess the use of dental care services and related factors in students with SHCN. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study included subjects from a rehabilitation and education center. The guardians were asked aboutwhether the students already made a dental appointment and about the last time they had visited their dentist. The students were examinedfor dental cavities. Fisher’s exact test for the association between the outcome and independent variables was employed. Results: The study sample comprised 51 guardians. Forty-seven students had already visited their dentist at least once, and 68% underwent a dental exam within the past year. A recent use of dental service (1 year or less) was more prevalent among female subjects, which did not present a history of dental cavities and about whose caregiversalready had received oral health information. Conclusion: Most of the participants already had visited their dentist and regularly usedental services. Caregivers should be encouraged to make regular dentist appointments for SHCN subjects, especially for those who already have oral problems, are male, and whose families have never received oral health information.
