ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the network of human and non-human actors involved in the computerization of primary health care in the Brazilian federal government.Method: A qualitative study that used as a theoretical reference the actor-network theory here and as a methodological reference the cartography of controversies.Data analysis was carried out using Gephi software, and through the extraction of reports, informed by the actor-network theory.Results: We found a network of wella color touch 77 45 288 connections among 33 actors, composed mainly of nonhuman influencers of computerization.
These actors are distributed throughout 3 inter-related communities, and manage the network by defining obligations, penalties, conflicts and intentionalities, thus influencing the success of the intended computerization.Final considerations: The network of actors at the federal level generates situations that, in many cases, hamper the successful implementation of a nationwide computerization strategy.
