Objective: the present study aims to evaluate the skills of Community Health Agents of the Municipality of Bragança-Pará, Brazil, in the use of Tecnology of Information and communication (ICT). Methodology: This is a study with a quantitative approach of a descriptive nature. The research was carried out in the city of Bragança in the state of Pará, in the period of May and June of 2019 and counted on the application of an instrument containing closed questions in order and a practical evaluation was performed to verify the skills of the CHA with the ICTs. Results: by analyzing all the data obtained through the data collection, as well as correlating them, it is possible to notice the visible unpreparedness of the CHAs in relation to the use of information and communication technologies. Conclusion: Technological tools nowadays allow for a multitude of health work processes that can occur in dynamic and interactive ways synchronously or asynchronously and the CHA can not be left out of these transformations.
