Resumo: | Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic represents one of the greatest health challenges today and has a variety of symptoms and severity. From its form of contamination by aerosols and fomites, the progress of the disease represents an increased demand for assistance in emergency services, challenging managers to guarantee human and material resources for this demand, as well as defining safe flows to avoid nosocomial contamination, protecting patients and health workers. Objective: To report a flow adjustment experience of patients suspected of COVID-19, aided by a computerized system adapted to the screening procedure. Method: This is a descriptive study carried out in a public hospital in the state of Ceará - Brazil, based on the observation and discussion of strategies to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic by the management team in the emergency department. Results: From the reception and screening of patients, an adaptation of health services in differentiated flows to the non-suspect and suspected patient of COVID-19 represents an important strategy in guaranteeing security and resolvability in coping with the pandemic of COVID-19. Conclusions: The creation of an extrahospital screening, using a computerized tool, can be evidenced as a strategy to optimize hospital resources, avoiding the admission of patients with demands belonging to less complex health services or even at home, giving greater agility in monitoring hospital flows.. |

A partir de sua forma de contaminação por aerossóis e fômites, o avanço da doença gera crescente busca por atendimento nos serviços de emergência, trazendo aos gestores o desafio de garantir recursos humanos e materiais para essa demanda, assim como definir fluxos seguros para evitar contaminações nosocomiais, protegendo pacientes e trabalhadores da saúde. Objetivo: Relatar uma experiência de adequação do fluxo no atendimento de pacientes suspeitos de COVID-19, com auxílio de sistema informatizado adaptado ao procedimento de triagem. Método: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo realizado em um hospital terciário público do estado do Ceará, a partir da observação e discussão das estratégias de enfrentamento a pandemia de COVID-19 pela equipe de gestores do departamento de emergência. Resultados: A partir do acolhimento e triagem dos pacientes, a adequação dos serviços de saúde em fluxos diferenciados para o paciente não suspeito e suspeito de COVID-19 representa uma ferramenta importante na garantia de segurança e resolutividade no enfrentamento da pandemia de COVID-19. Conclusões: A criação de uma triagem extra-hospitalar utilizando uma ferramenta informatizada pode ser evidenciada como uma estratégia na otimização dos recursos hospitalares, evitando a admissão de pacientes que poderiam ter suas demandas atendidas em serviços de menor complexidade ou mesmo em seus domicílios, proporcionando maior agilidade no seguimento dos fluxos.Instituto Nacional de Controle de Qualidade em Saúde2020-06-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/article/view/163210.22239/2317-269X.01632Health Surveillance under Debate: Society, Science & Technology ; Vol. 8 No. 3 (2020): August; 185-189Vigilancia en Salud en Debate: Sociedad, Ciencia y Tecnología; Vol. 8 Núm. 3 (2020): Agosto; 185-189Vigil Sanit Debate, Rio de Janeiro; v. 8 n. 3 (2020): Agosto; 185-1892317-269Xreponame:Vigilância Sanitária em Debateinstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZporhttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/article/view/1632/1170Copyright (c) 2020 Vigilância Sanitária em Debate: Sociedade, Ciência & Tecnologia (Health Surveillance under Debate: Society, Science & Technology) – Visa em Debatehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Breno Douglas DantasKhoury, Samer HeluanyMartins, Vanessa GomesArnaud, Frederico Carlos de SousaGaspardi, Ane CarolineRabêlo, Dieison Roberto Vieira2023-06-27T15:12:36Zoai:ojs.visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br:article/1632Revistahttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebatePUBhttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/oaiincqs.visaemdebate@fiocruz.br || gisele.neves@fiocruz.br2317-269X2317-269Xopendoar:2023-06-27T15:12:36Vigilância Sanitária em Debate - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)false |
