Abstract	Healthcare Information Systems (Sistemas de Informação em Saúde: SIS) identify in a population individual and collective problems of the sanitary field, providing elements for analysis of the situation and supporting actions. Thus, they are considered an instrument of management and should be used in the practice of planning and execution of actions by sanitary surveillance departments relative to health promotion, protection, and rehabilitation. This study has the objective to describe the situation of the application of health information in planning actions of the municipal management of sanitary surveillance. More specifically, it aimed to identify the degree of knowledge of professionals of the SIS and to describe in which manner such data are used by professionals in planning. This was a transversal and observational case study, of an exploratory and descriptive nature, dealing with quantitative characterizations by the identification of existing data in the SIS and with qualitative analysis which included interviews of professionals in this sector, as well as an appreciation of the network of the organization of services via document analysis. The analysis and interpretation of the data were of a qualitative nature by triangulation. The results showed that professionals consider that the planning of sanitary surveillance actions are lacking since they do not occur in a manner that is periodic, systematic, and uniform applying a situational strategic focus. Participants were able to define SIS but demonstrated little real knowledge of the various systems that existed at local level. Those SIS provided data regarding the health care situation. However, the use of these data does not occur in planning the specific actions of sanitary surveillance, and one of the principal reasons was shown to be the lack of knowledge in handling these systems by the team. In evidence were data in SIS that indicated conditions referring to cases of sicknesses transmitted by food and water, drug intoxication, and agrotoxins, as well as neonatal mortality, and later it is described how these data could have contributed in the planning and execution of actions.
