CIPESC is a Brazilian system to classify nursing phenomena, it's used in nursing consultation in primary care. Equity in health means that everyone in the society has opportunity to improve their potential of health. CIPESC allows to know the nursing diagnoses and interventions and doing this allows knowing health needs and vulnerabilities of the social groups. Nursing interventions in the most vulnerable groups results interventions heading for equity. At the same time, it's possible to revisit work process in health aiming to better focusing nursing actions. Also it's possible to create new tools to the nursing interventions.
