Summary:The article's objective is to present the results of the study on the evaluability of the Information System on Indigenous Health (SIASI) and its implications for local health administration. The study was performed with the following stages: description of the intervention, description of potential users, and context analysis (internal and external). The following data collection techniques were adopted: document analysis, interviews with key informants, and a workshop. Modeling of the SIASI in the Special Indigenous Health District Upper Solimões River (Amazonas State) and Special Indigenous Health District Eastern Roraima (Roraima State) allowed a schematic view of the system's mode of functioning, considering the peculiarities of the decentralized and centralized information flow. Context analysis pointed to acknowledgment of the SIASI as a tool for organization of the work process in the multidisciplinary indigenous health team (EMSI) and for follow-up of the health situation, despite low utilization of the information in the territories. Persistent challenges include infrastructure problems and fragmentation of information, causing an increase in rework in feeding the data. One key feature is the creation of the Local SIASI Panel, generating dynamic and interactive reports on the health situation. In conclusion, the capacity for use of the SIASI as a tool to support local management can be enhanced by expanding the decentralization of the information flow.
