The research data was collected through the Program of Improvement in Quality of Access in Primary Care (PIAQ-PC) in Brazil, on its second cycle in 2013, and were analysed by using descriptive statistics. Results:The actions of clinical-care support has been further developed by FHSC, all with frequency greater than 85%. In Piauí, the fields where FHSC acts has shown to be the nutritional care, rehabilitation and maternal and child care and also non-communicative diseases (NCD) that showed frequency higher than 85%. Conclusion:The FHSC initiative contributes significantly with their services to the FHS to achieve its goals. However, to make the work of these teams more effective there must be ownership of Primary Care Services by its users and appreciation of it by the managers. The actions developed in the FHS are being supported and agreed on among the matrix support teams.
