Objetivo: Compreender a atenção à saúde do idoso nas redes assistenciais de um município da Zona Norte do Ceará por meio do Sistema de Referência e Contra-referência, considerando o princípio da integralidade no SUS. Métodos: Avaliação construtivista, responsiva, com abordagem hermenêutica-dialética, denominada Avaliação de Quarta Geração, realizada com 10 enfermeiros que atuam na gestão de serviços de atenção à saúde de um município da Zona Norte do Ceará, entre os meses de março e maio de 2011.
