Abstract: This work aims to apply a new approach to support the formulation and structuring of health care in Brazilian municipalities using concept maps and data mining. The analysis of the results and conclusions can provide support for public policies through the determination of indicators of municipal performance in the future. Homogeneous clustering generates adequate sets for the application of benchmarking methods that compare data from several decision-making units.
