Resumo: | Introduction: In Portugal, 9.8% of patients admitted were inflicted with healthcare associated infections, corresponding to a prevalence of 11.7%. The Hospital de São João has developed a business intelligence platform able to supervise (the patients), monitor (the clinical condition) and notify (the healthcare personnel): HViTAL. This study aims to assess the impact of electronic monitoring on healthcare associated infections since the year of HViTAL implementation.Material and Methods: We evaluated data since January 2008 (moment from which computerized records exist) until December 2011, comparing them with subsequent data, those corresponding to January 2012 (implementation date of HViTAL) until 19 October 2015.Results: There was an upward trend of infection parameters in the 2008 - 2011 period. Since January 2012 and October 2015, all parameters of the infection indicator showed a negative linear trend.Discussion: The results are very suggestive that the HVITAL may have had an impact on improving parameters associated tohealthcare associated infections. Basic measures of infection control were highlighted since 2005, with an increasing number of health professional awareness campaigns, a fact which, although not analyzed in this report, may also have contributed to the observed improvement. Our study did not include other variables such as investment in human capital.Conclusion: There was a clear improvement in all areas characterizing the healthcare associated infections, with obvious positive impact with the introduction of HViTAL. |

O Centro Hospitalar de São João desenvolveu uma plataforma de business intelligence capaz de VIgiar (os utentes), moniTorizar (o estado clínico) e ALertar (o profissional de saúde): HViTAL. Este estudo tem como objectivo avaliar o impacto da monitorização eletrónica nas infeções associadas aos cuidados de saúde desde o ano da implementação do HViTAL.Material e Métodos: Avaliaram-se os dados relativos a janeiro 2008 (data a partir da qual há registos informatizados) até dezembro de 2011, comparando-os com os dados posteriores, aqueles correspondentes a janeiro de 2012 (data de implementação do HViTAL) até 19 de outubro de 2015.Resultados: Observou-se uma tendência para o aumento dos parâmetros de infecção no período 2008 - 2011. No período correspondente a janeiro de 2012 e outubro de 2015, todos os parâmetros que constituem o indicador de infeção (previsto na contratualização) revelaram uma evolução linear negativa.Discussão: Os resultados são muito sugestivos de que o HVITAL poderá ter tido impacto na melhoria dos parâmetros associados às infeções associadas aos cuidados de saúde. Houve uma tendência crescente na aplicação de medidas básicas de controlo de infecção desde 2005, com ações de sensibilização dos profissionais de saúde, facto que, embora não analisado neste report, poderá também ter contribuído para a melhoria observada. O nosso estudo não incluiu outras variáveis tais como investimento em capital humano.Conclusão: Houve uma inequívoca melhoria em todos os domínios que caracterizam as infeções associadas aos cuidados de saúde, sugerindo um impacto positivo da introdução do HVITAL.Ordem dos Médicos2016-11-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/mswordimage/jpeghttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7388oai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/7388Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 29 No. 11 (2016): November; 734-741Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 29 N.º 11 (2016): Novembro; 734-7411646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7388https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7388/4823https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7388/8172https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7388/8173https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7388/8174https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7388/8239https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7388/8746https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7388/8779Direitos de Autor (c) 2016 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Oliveira, Rita FontesCastro, LídiaAlmeida, José PedroAlves, CarlosFerreira, António2022-12-20T11:05:11Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/7388Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:19:27.023904Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
