RESUMO

Introducción. La transferencia de pacientes es un proceso interactivo de comunicación de datos y traspaso de responsabilidades para mantener la continuidad de la atención en forma segura. Las fallas en este proceso pueden derivar en cuidados inadecuados y favorecer la comisión de errores. Objetivo. Implementar una herramienta estandarizada para la transferencia de pacientes desde la unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) hacia la de cuidados intermedios y moderados (CIM) y comparar la comunicación entre los profesionales antes y después de la intervención. Población y métodos. Estudio del tipo antes y después, realizado en el Hospital de Pediatría "Prof. Dr. Juan P. Garrahan". Como intervención, se utilizó un formulario de transferencia escrito. La muestra estudiada antes de la intervención estaba formada por los pacientes transferidos de las UCI a las CIM entre el 1 y el 31-10-2015. La muestra estudiada luego de la intervención fueron los pacientes transferidos entre el 1 y el 31-3-2016. Participaron cuatro CIM y tres UCI. La variable principal de estudio fue la parte escrita de la transferencia; en particular, si fue oportuna y completa. Resultados. Se analizaron 50 traspasos en cada etapa. En la transferencia escrita hubo un aumento en la comunicación de datos clínicos en el 88 % de las variables (comunicación oral médico a médico, médico responsable, adecuación terapéutica, diagnóstico, evolución, entre otras); la diferencia fue estadísticamente significativa. Conclusión. Con la implementación de la herramienta mejoró la transferencia de datos clínicos del paciente relevantes para la continuidad de la atención en forma segura


Introduction. Patient handoff is an interactive process including data communication and responsible transfer in order to safely maintain the continuity of care. Failure in this process may result in inadequate care and favor the occurrence of errors. Objective. To implement a standardized instrument for patient handoff from the intensive care unit (ICU) to the intermediate-medium care unit (IMCU), and compare communication between health care providers before and after the intervention. Population and methods. Before-and-after study conducted at Hospital de Pediatría "Prof. Dr. Juan P. Garrahan." The intervention consisted in a written handoff form. The pre-intervention sample included patients transferred from ICUs to IMCUs between October 1st and October 31st, 2015. The post-intervention sample included patients transferred between March 1st and March 31st, 2016. A total of 4 IMCUs and 3 ICUs participated in the study. The main study variable was the written part of the handoff; in particular, whether it was timely and complete. Results. A total of 50 handoffs were analyzed for each stage. With the written handoff, there was an increase in the communication of clinical data in 88 % of variables (oral communication between physicians, treating physician, therapeutic adequacy, diagnosis, course, etc.); the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion. After implementing the tool, there was an improvement in the transfer of patient clinical data relevant to the safe continuity of care

RESUMO

La seguridad del paciente es una de las dimensiones de la atención. Los avances médicos han tornado los procesos de atención cada vez más complejos, y, usualmente, hay una conjunción de circunstancias que confluyen para que ocurran errores. Los eventos adversos constituyen un problema grave de salud pública al ocasionar daños de diversos grados al paciente y a su familia, lo cual, además, lleva a incrementar el costo del proceso de atención y la estancia hospitalaria.La mayoría de los eventos adversos se producen en los hospitales, ya que, por su complejidad, su población está sometida a un mayor riesgo asociado a la atención. Se presenta este consenso con el objetivo de ofrecer herramientas cuya implementación contribuya a brindar una atención más segura.


Patient safety is one of the dimensions of care. Medical advances have made assistance processes more and more complex, and there isusually a combination of circumstances that converge for errors to occur. Adverse events constitute a serious public health problem, causing damages of varying degrees to the patient and his family, which also leads to an increase in the cost of the care process and hospital stay. Most of the adverse events occur in hospitals because their complexity is subject to a greater risk associated with care. That is why we present this consensus with the aim of offering tools whose implementation can contribute to provide a safer healthcare.

RESUMO

Introducción. La seguridad de los pacientes es un objetivo prioritario de las organizaciones de salud. Objetivo. Conocer las actitudes, prácticas y condiciones de seguridad del paciente pediátrico en Argentina. Material y métodos. La Subcomisión de Calidad y Seguridad del Paciente de la Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría y Programa Nacional de Actualización Pediátrica elaboraron una encuesta sobre seguridad del paciente y prevención de errores (datos poblacionales, 9 dimensiones para internación, 5 para atención ambulatoria). El instrumento fue enviado a los alumnos de Programa Nacional de Actualización Pediátrica 2013, distribuidos en todo el país. Resultados. Encuesta administrada a 7438 alumnos; respondida por 6424 (86%). Población: edad: 42% de 30 a 40 años. Mujeres: 80%. Residencia/concurrencia en Pediatría: 83%. Formación en seguridad del paciente: 30%. Internación: 15% respondió que la institución donde trabajaba tenía Comité de Seguridad. El 74% carecía de sistemas de reporte de eventos; 70% no tenía identificación de pacientes; 32% debía prescribir según vademécum; 27% tenía programas de control de infecciones; 28% aplicaba la lista de verificación quirúrgica. Ambulatorio: 62% respondió que había lavatorios; 56%, que había jabón; y 63%, gel alcohólico disponible. El 70% contestó que los niños con enfermedades exantemáticas esperaban en lugares comunes. Conclusión. Este trabajo muestra que gran parte de los pediatras argentinos encuestados trabaja en condiciones en las que no se prioriza la seguridad del paciente, tanto en pediatría ambulatoria como de internación.


Background. Patient safety is a priority for healthcare organizations. For the PRONAP's 2013 final exam, the Quality & Patient Safety Subcommittee and the PRONAP managers designed a survey to be answered by pediatrician students nationwide. It was destined to evaluate attitudes, practices and safety conditions in which they worked. Aim. To assess the current state of practices in patient safety. Material and methods. Setting and sample: PRONAP students (7,438 pediatrician nationwide) who answered 2013 final exam. Instrument: Patient Safety Survey about pediatric inpatient (9 domains) and outpatient (5 domains) practices, and population data. Results. Patient Safety Survey: 6424 answered (86%). Population: age: 42% 30-40 years. Women: 80%. Residence in Pediatrics: 83%. Patient safety training: 30%. geographical origin: all provinces and CABA. Inpatient practices: 15% answered their institution had Patient Safety Committee. 74% of institutions did not have event reporting systems, 70% didn't have a patient's identification system. 32% answered that drug prescription should be done upon vademecum at their institution, and 27% had infection's control programs, 28% performed surgical checklist in operating room and 55% had a standardized patient hand-off. Outpatient practices: 62% said they had washbasins, 56% had soap available, and 63% alcohol gel. 70% answered children with a supposed infectious rash did not wait his turn separately. This study shows that most pediatricians in Argentine work without prioritizing patient safety, both in ambulatory and inpatient practice.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To create a hospital pediatric inpatient experience survey based on the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Hospital Survey (CAHPS® Hospital Survey). DESIGN: Survey development based on: (i) Translation and back translation, (ii) Review by experts, (iii) Cultural adaptation: qualitative evaluation of dimensions with reformulation and adaptation of items, (iv) Local cognitive evaluation and (v) Final measurement of its psychometric properties. Inspection, content validity and reliability assessment through internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) and inter-item correlation. Factor analysis matrix: extraction, selection and rotation. SETTING: Two pediatric hospitals in Buenos Aires, Argentina: Hospital de Pediatría 'Garrahan' (HG) and Hospital de Niños 'Ricardo Gutiérrez' (HRG). PARTICIPANTS: Parents or caregivers of pediatric patients hospitalized for at least 24 h. RESULTS: A feasible and easy to administer 21-item instrument was developed. One thousand and thirty-two surveys were analyzed, 630 (61%) in HG and 402 (39%) in HRG. Population: mothers of admitted children were interviewed 85% of the time, 61% (625) had completed minor schooling to high school education; 365 families (35%) had unsatisfied basic needs and 51% (529) did not have health insurance. Reliability: adequate Cronbach's alpha scores were found with correlation 0.7 or higher in most domains. Validity: a direct correlation was observed between overall positive opinion and quality of care perceived with the survey, and an indirect correlation (perceived low quality) with higher level of schooling and health insurance ownership. CONCLUSION: An instrument with adequate psychometric properties was adapted to evaluate patients and families' perceptions of quality of care received during children's hospitalization.

RESUMO

Patient safety and quality of care has become a challenge for health systems. Health care is an increasingly complex and risky activity, as it represents a combination of human, technological and organizational processes. It is necessary, therefore, to take effective actions to reduce the adverse events and mitigate its impact. This glossary is a local adaptation of key terms and concepts from the international bibliographic sources. The aim is providing a common language for assessing patient safety processes and compare them.

RESUMO

A sentinel event is an unexpected occurrence involving death or serious physical or psychological injury, or the risk thereof.The sentinel event identified was undiagnosed adolescent pregnancy before the indication of potentially harmful treatments or diagnostic methods. The team performed a root -cause analysis where the following causes were identified: a) Paediatrician bias: not thinking about adolescent sexual behaviour, incomplete questionnaires, insufficient training in adolescent interviews. b) Social factors: legal issues, ambiguous contraceptive recommendations. c) Hospital factors: lack of guidelines for counselling adolescents. d) Host risk factors: cultural barriers, lack of confidence. Regardless of any previous negative pregnancy test results, any time that a new potentially harmful procedure is indicated in a fertile female patient, a test of pregnancy diagnosed might be performed.

RESUMO

Un evento centinela es un suceso inesperado que implica la muerte, o una lesión física o psicológica grave. En este caso, el evento fue el embarazo adolescente no diagnosticado antes de la indicación de tratamientos o métodos de diagnóstico potencialmente dañinos. El equipo tratante realizó un análisis de causa-raíz en el que se identificaron las siguientes causas: a) sesgo pediátrico: no pensar en el comportamiento sexual adolescente, cuestionarios incompletos, insuficiente formación en entrevistas con adolescentes, b) factores sociales: cuestiones legales, recomendaciones ambiguas con respecto a la sexualidad, c) factores hospitalarios: ausencia de guías clínicas en el tema, d) factores del paciente: historia oculta de abuso sexual, barreras culturales, falta de confianza. Antes de realizar procedimientos potencialmente teratogénicos en pacientes adolescentes, se debería efectuar una prueba diagnóstica de embarazo, con independencia de los resultados negativos de pruebas de embarazo de ciclos menstruales previos

RESUMO

Patient safety in the operating room is a topic of universal concern. Several studies support the existence of a high percentage of complications and a high mortality rate in surgical procedures (0.5 to 5%). The World Health Organization (WHO) has proposed the implementation of surgical check list in order to improve patient safety in the operating room. In Hospital Garrahan, 9600 surgeries and surgical anesthesia for more than 8000 studies and other invasive procedures are performed per year. WHO checklist adaptation and implementation was considered an institutional priority. We describe difficulties and solutions in implementing the surgical checklist. Surgical team involvement in project planning and development was essential.

RESUMO

La calidad y seguridad de los procedimientos quirúrgicos es motivo de preocupación universal. Numerosos estudios señalan que hay un alto porcentaje de complicaciones asociadas y una elevada mortalidad global (0,5% a 5%). La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) propuso la implementación de una lista de verificación de la seguridad en cirugía (LVS) con el objetivo de favorecer el cumplimiento de normas imprescindibles de seguridad en los procedimientos quirúrgicos. En el Hospital "Prof. Dr. Juan P. Garrahan" se llevan a cabo 9600 intervenciones quirúrgicas anuales y más de 8000 anestesias para estudios y procedimientos invasivos, por lo cual, la adaptación e implementación de la lista de verificación fue considerada una prioridad institucional. Se describe el proceso de implementación de la LVS, las dificultades planteadas y la adherencia a su aplicación. Es fundamental la participación de todo el personal involucrado en la atención del paciente quirúrgico y su comprensión sobre la importancia del instrumento.(AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Patient misidentification continues to be a quality and safety significant issue. The Joint Commission International listed patient identification as the first of ten life-saving patient-safety solutions. Identification wrist bands are the goal in the identification strategy. At the Hospital Nacional de Pediatría "Prof. Dr. J.P. Garrahan" we inquired about perception and agreement of this practice within hospital staff and parents. METHOD: A short questionnaire was used with; in the first part a four point Lickert scale, and in the second one an open unstructured response. The questionnaire was distributed among health care workers and parent's patients. For families, the third question was not administrated. The survey explored about purpose and opportunity regarding the use of wrist band identification. A one day cutoff was made to obtain baseline data for properly use of identification bands. RESULTS: A total of 300 questionnaires were analyzed, 100 for each cluster (physicians, nurses, and parents); 82% responded that the wrist band should stay along the whole hospitalizing period. A range of 64% to 74% within the groups responded that it is helpful to prevent errors. There was no statistical difference between parents and physicians. Overall, percentage of patient with correct identification band in the hospital was 34%. CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that the wrist band identification is not a health care workers priority behavior yet. Initiatives on safety patient identifications, including families and healthcare workers, must be developed in the near future.

RESUMO

Introducción. La correcta identificación del paciente es esencial para la seguridad de la atención:la pulsera identificadora del paciente internado es una estrategia en la prevención del error médico.Sin embargo, en la realidad, la identificación de la totalidad de los pacientes es un tema pendiente.Objetivo. Conocer la opinión del equipo de salud y los padres respecto al procedimiento de identificaciónde los pacientes en el Hospital Nacionalde Pediatría ¶Prof. Dr. Juan P. Garrahan÷ y medir la adhesión a esta práctica.Método. Se realizó una encuesta al equipo de salud en una semana, autoadministrada y anónima, de tres preguntas sencillas con respuesta cerrada (4 ítems con escala de Likert), acerca de la opinión sobre la identificación de los pacientes, conun espacio abierto para observaciones. El mismo cuestionario, con excepción de la tercera pregunta, fue administrado a los padres de los pacientes. Serealizó un corte de un día evaluando porcentaje de pacientes correctamente identificados.Resultados. Se realizaron 300 encuestas a médicos (100), enfermeros (100) y padres (100). El 82 por cientocontestó que los pacientes debían tener pulsera identificadora en todo momento durante la internación.Un 64-74 por ciento contestó que era útil para prevenir errores. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre padres y médicos. Sin embargo,sólo el 34 por ciento de los pacientes se encontraban correctamente dentificados. Conclusiones. La discrepancia entre la opinión y la práctica indica que la identificación de los pacientes no representa aún un eslabón prioritarioen la seguridad y la calidad de la atención.Por lo tanto, es necesario desarrollar estrategias para mejorar la cultura de la seguridad.(AU)

A short questionnaire was used with; in the first part a four point Lickert scale, and in the second one an open unstructured response. The questionnaire was distributed among health care workers and parents patients. For families, the third question was not administrated. The survey explored about purpose and opportunity regarding the use of wrist band identification. A one day cutoff was made to obtain baseline data for properly use of identification bands.Results. A total of 300 questionnaires were analyzed, 100 for each cluster (physicians, nurses, and parents); 82% responded that the wrist band should stay along the whole hospitalizing period. A range of 64% to 74% within the groups responded that it is helpful to prevent errors. There was not statistical difference between parents and physicians. Overall, percentage of patient with correct identification band in the hospital was 34%.Conclusions. We concluded that the wrist band identification is not a health care workers priority behavior yet. Initiatives on safety patient identifications, including families and health care workers, must be developed in the near future.(AU)
