Análise de eventos adversos relacionados ao transporte hospitalar em um EAS público

Abstract

Concerns related to patient safety have become evident in recent years due to the high rate of adverse events that can compromise the recovery of patients hospitalized in health care establishments (HCE). During hospital transfers, patients may experience changes that make their recovery difficult, and from the perspective of safe and effective care, transport is a process that needs to be discussed, as it encompasses a wide range of challenges in terms of patient safety. The objective of this work was to analyze the notifications of adverse events related to hospital transport in an HCE, identifying the causes, as well as the risk factors involved, comparing with the information found in the literature on the subject to find improvement proposals that can be applied in the hospital reality presented, always aiming patient safety. Based on the data obtained, it was observed that most adverse events related to hospital transport occurred in 2019, in the Medical Clinic, with problems related to the team of professionals, where for the most part, the lack of adequate follow-up for transport has been reported. Thus, it can be concluded that the AE occurrence rate can be minimized, especially through the standardization of the professionals' conduct during the hospital transport process.
