Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Hospital records'

The importance of the hospital in Canadian society is undisputed. Despite this, the hospital has traditionally received relatively little attention from the archival community. It is only now becoming apparent to both hospital administrators and archivists that this situation must change if the valuable records contained in hospitals are to be preserved. This thesis examines the archival preservation of hospital records, concluding that their retention is of great benefit to those operating the institution as well as the rest of society and that this preservation can be effectively carried out if certain basic considerations are borne in mind. Before archival operations are established in a hospital, it is necessary to investigate various aspects of the institution and its record keeping practices. It is only when the nature and uses of these records are understood that effective programmes can be implemented. A hospital archives will not achieve its full potential unless it is established on a sound foundation with adequate policy and resources. Similarly, the records contained therein must be properly appraised to ensure all the valuable material is retained and protected from improper access. Through an investigation of these and related issues, the viability of hospital archives will be confirmed.

Background Bleeding can be an adverse side effect from hospital treatment. The aim was to develop an electronic identification method for patients who are bleeding within The Ottawa Hospital. Methods A retrospective exploratory cohort (N=1000) was used to identify potential candidate markers for bleeding. Electronic data were extracted to evaluate candidate identifiers. Data which were associated with bleeding events were assessed in a model derivation cohort (N=700). Multivariate analysis was used to establish the best model for identifying all bleeding events and in-hospital bleeding events. Results Overall 38% of the exploratory cohort had bleeding. In the model derivation set 29% had bleeding. The model predicting all bleeding included number of transfusions, admitting specialty, re-operation and endoscopy (C-statistic 0.82, 95%CI 0.79-0.86). The model predicting in-hospital bleeding included number of transfusions, admitting specialty and re-operation (C-statistic 0.78, 95% CI 0.73-0.84). Conclusion We have developed two models for identifying hospital bleeding events from The Ottawa Hospital electronic medical records. These should be validated prospectively on the hospital-wide population.

This thesis will examine the manual hospital document retrieval system and electronic document scanning system. From this examination, requirements will be listed for the Administrative Reporting for the Hospital Document Scanning System which will provide better service and reliability than the previous systems. To assure that the requirements can be met, this will be developed into a working system which is named as the Administrative Reporting for the Hospital Document Scanning System(ARHDSS).

The study sought to investigate the management of medical records for healthcare service at the Victoria Public Hospital in the Eastern Cape Province. The objectives of the study were to describe the present records management practices in Victoria Hospital; find out the existing infrastructure for the management of patient medical records at the Victoria Hospital; determine the compliance of patient medical records management in Victoria Hospital with relevant national legislative and regulatory framework; find out the security of patient medical records at the Victoria Hospital. Quantitative and qualitative approaches were employed. The sample was drawn from the service providers and from the healthcare service users. Questionnaires, interviews and observation were used to collect data. The findings showed that Victoria Hospital uses manual records management system in the creation, maintenance and usage of records. In the findings, there were challenges related to misfiling and missing patient folders which sometimes lead to the creation of new patient folders. Also, the study discovered that the time spent in the retrieval of patient folders could negatively affect the timely delivery of healthcare services. The study recommended the adoption of electronic records management system as most public healthcare institutions in the country are rapidly shifting to electronic records management system. The use of electronic records management system is believed to be efficiently and effectively promoting easy accessibility, retrieval of patient medical records and allows easy communication amongst the healthcare service institutions and healthcare practitioners.

This study has used patient case records of the Royal Free Hospital, London, to examine patient identity, agency, and experience, in relation to hospital treatment of the early twentieth century. The patient base was predominantly the young, lower working-class, but people of a wide variety of circumstances mixed on the wards. Patients used the hospital as a part of the mixed economy of healthcare, making consumer-like decisions at periods of ill-health as to where best to seek medical aid. The lifecycle of ill-health of the patients and their families has been examined according to the histories contained in the records. The frequency of infectious chest conditions stands out, which has raised issues relating to epidemiological transition hypotheses and the wider physical condition of the population during the period of this study. Hospital doctoring has been considered alongside the medical and surgical treatments afforded the patients, in order to understand the standard of care provided at the Royal Free in relation to that available in the wider medical market, and to reconstruct the patient experience of hospital treatment. Financial restraints and reluctance to abandon traditional remedies and techniques meant that it proved slow in adopting the new technologies of modern medicine. The familiarity of traditional medicine, however, would have made the patient experience less intimidating. Patient records are an under-used source, but they represent a significant aspect of hospital development and shared knowledge during a period when patients were attending multiple hospitals throughout their lives. The Royal Free has never before been the subject of an academic study, though its progressive attitude towards admission requirements, medical social work, and medical women, made it an important and influential voluntary institution of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The availability of information on profile and trends of cancer in South African populations is important for the development of appropriate cancer control strategies, as well as monitoring the efficacy of the existing cancer control programmes. Yet, generally there is a scarcity of systematically analysed reports on hospital cancer cases in South Africa, even for urban hospitals. The aim of this study was to describe the cancer profile of patients diagnosed at Frere Hospital‟s Oncology and Radiation Department and estimate the incidence of cancer among Buffalo City (BFC) urban area residents, for the 19-year period 01 January 1991 to 31 December 2009 based on the clinical administrative data system maintained by the department. The study was a descriptive case series study based on a retrospective review of Frere Hospital‟s Oncology and Radiation Department patient records from 1991 to 2009. Permission was obtained to retrieve records of cancer cases for the 19-year period from the database. Data were extracted from the customized administrative system to an excel spread sheet. Variables for each case retrieved included: socio-demographic details; age at diagnosis, sex, race, place of residence and medical aid information, tumor information; site and date of diagnosis. Data cleaning incorporated techniques such as checking of completeness and accuracy of patient information details. Dates were formatted into month-day-year sequence and checked so that the date of birth precedes the date of diagnosis of the patient and the date last seen. Age less than zero and greater than ninety nine was replaced as missing. Geographical areas were coded according to the South African Population Census. Duplicates and cases with missing diagnosis were excluded.

Healthcare associated infections are a considerable burden to the health care system. The affected patients have their prognosis worsened and demand more resources from hospitals. Furthermore, the bacteria causing these infections are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics while also becoming more deadly and contagious. Contributing with knowledge for stopping these infections is, therefore, important. This thesis reports on two projects centered on data collected at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics. The first project consisted in analyzing data collected by sensors that reported the location and hand washing behavior of health care workers. After extracting meaning from these radio signals, I studied two socially and epidemiologically relevant tasks: the inference of contact networks, which can be used to study the spread of infections in the hospital, and the study of associations between social pressure and hand washing, learning that effectively workers in proximity to others wash their hands more, but also that not all workers are as influential. In the second project, I developed a data mining method for analyzing medical records aimed at tackling the problems of class imbalance and high dimensionality, and applied it to predicting Clostridium Difficile infection. The learnt models performed better than the state of the art and even improved prediction as the onset of symptoms approached. The main contribution, however, was in the information discovered: certain events in certain orders increased the risk of developing the infection, suggesting that reversing these orders could improve prognosis.

An evaluation of the effective use of Computer-based Nursing Information System (CNIS) in patient care by Professional nurses at Dr George Mukhari Hospital. The aim of the study was to evaluate if the CNIS is being used effectively for patient care by professional nurses in different nursing units. The objectives of the study were to describe the perceptions of professional nurses regarding the role of CNIS, to determine the effective use of CNIS, and to identify barriers to the effective use of CNIS in patient care. Quantitative descriptive simple survey research design was used. The setting was at Dr George Mukhari Hospital. The population was all professional nurses who are working on day and night shifts in the wards that have computers installed for the purpose of patient care. Non probability, convenience sample of 120 professional nurses was used. Data was collected utilising a self report questionnaire with 41 closed ended and one open ended questions. Raw data was fed into a SPSS with the assistance of a statistician. Data analysis was conducted through the use of descriptive statistics. The findings are that professional nurses are not using CNIS effectively in patient care. In a unit with a bed occupancy rate of 30-40 patients, and where 30-40 patients are attended to on a daily basis, only 0-2 Nursing Care Plans (NCP) or entries are performed by professional nurses. The majority of professional nurses (56%) never updated NCPs or made an entry before. This is despite the fact that they have indicated positive perceptions with regard to the role of CNIS in patient care. Increased workload, inadequate number of computers, and lack of continuous in-service training were cited by the majority as barriers to the effective use of CNIS in patient care. A problem of increased workload will remain a challenge for as long as available technology is not used appropriately. Hence, hand held devices such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and bedside terminals, are highly recommended. Key concepts: Computer, Nursing, Information, System, Evaluation, Effective, Professional Nurses, Patient care.

The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the organizational and environmental correlates of hospital EMR use and to examine the relationship between hospital EMR use and performance. Using a theoretical framework that combines resource dependence theory with Donabedian's structure, process, outcome model, a conceptual model is created. To test the hypotheses of this model, logistic regression and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) are used. The data included in this analysis come from the AHA, HIMSS, CMS, ARF, and HQA. In the analysis of hospitals correlates of EMR use, three hypotheses were supported, and one was partially supported. Hospital system affiliation, bed size, and environmental uncertainty were found to be positively associated with hospital EMR use. Hospital rurality was found to be associated with EMR use for all categories except one; at every other level of rurality, as the hospital moves on a continuum from least rural to most urban, the likelihood of hospital EMR use also increases. Hospital EMR use was not found to be associated with teaching status, environmental munificence, competition, operating margin, ownership, or public payer mix. In the hospital performance analyses, one hypothesis was supported, and one was partially supported. Regarding quality, hospitals with EMRs were found to provide higher quality than those without EMRs. In efficiency performance, only small hospitals with EMRs were found to be more efficient than hospitals without EMRs. No support was found that hospitals with EMRs improve their efficiency over time more than hospitals without EMRs. Hospital EMR use does vary by certain organizational and environmental characteristics. For this reason, hospitals and policy makers must take action that enables and encourages all hospitals to implement and use EMRs because some hospitals do not have the motivation or resources to begin using EMRs on their own. Hospital EMR use is positively associated with high quality care, thus justifying the practice. Hospital efficiency was not found to be associated with EMR use in medium or large hospitals, but it was found to be associated with EMR use in small hospitals. Interestingly, larger hospitals are more likely to use EMRs than small hospitals. It is possible that the efficiency gains of EMR use in hospitals will not be realized until a standardized, fully interoperable system is developed, allowing health care provides to quickly and easily share the medical charts of their patients.

The health care industry is transforming into an industry that requires health information technology, yet many health care organizations are reluctant to implement new technology. The purpose of this case study was to explore strategies that led to a successful transition from an older electronic health record (EHR) system to a compliant EHR system at a multisite hospital system (MHS). The study included face-to-face and phone interviews with 12 managers who worked on the transition of an MHS's EHR system in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The technology acceptance model was used to frame the study. Audio recordings with these managers were transcribed and analyzed along with interview notes and publicly available documents to identify themes regarding strategies used by managers to successfully upgrade to a compliant EHR system at an MHS. Three major themes emerged: hybrid implementation strategy, training strategy, and social pressure strategy. Results may be used to facilitate the adoption of information technology systems in any industry. Results may directly benefit other MHSs by facilitating successful EHR system transitions. Implications for social change include improved care coordination, reductions in duplicated medical procedures, and more timely and relevant tests for patients through the full use of EHRs.

Introduction and background: The use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) sometimes referred to as Electronic Patient Care Records (ePCRs) amongst health and social care providers is increasing.  Many countries are anticipating the benefits of maintaining patients’ records in one place to facilitate real time access by clinicians and other health and social care providers at the point of need; thereby saving resources, seeking to work more efficiently and indeed taking advantage of the rapid advancement in technology to enhance communication.   Objectives:  Investigate challenges facing implementation of England’s EHRs programme by reviewing two design research approaches. Link the findings to possible barriers to augmenting the scope of the use of EHRs in the pre-hospital care at the Ambulance Service under study.   Approach and Methodology:  Literature review on design approaches to rolling out EHRs systems of 4 countries. Followed by an examination available information on England’s EHRs implementation programme whilst considering the findings to draw out any similarities and differences with each of the countries examined. Follow-on enquiry through interviews whose results help draw relationships between success and design/implementation methodologies. In this systematic review, several article sources are used, including ERIC, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, Google Scholar and Springer Link. Examples of cases are selected after reading titles and abstracts to decide whether the articles are peer reviewed, and relevant to the subject of enquiry. In addition, for articles to be selected they have had to meet the following criteria, a) written in English, b) full text is available online, c) had to have had primary empirical data, and d) focused on EHR implementation programmes.  Iinterviews are carried out to gather first hand data for review, analysis and evaluation, to inductively make an end point explanation of patterns in EHRs implementation programmes.   Findings:  Of the examples of EHRs systems across Europe and North America reviewed, independent and dependent variables closest to the research questions and hypotheses are identified, narrowing them down to design and implementation approaches to make probable causal link to implementation of EHRs system in England in general and the Ambulance Service in particular.   Conclusion: A connection with England’s EHRs implementation programme is made as the study alludes success to user driven bespoke solution as opposed to technology engineered systems. The study concludes that the design approach adopted by a country plays a significant role in gaining ‘buy-in’ when implementing EHRs systems. Subsequently recommendations are made to explore participatory design as a key promoter to ensure uptake of EHRs systems across main stakeholder groups whilst making a specific case for augmenting the scope of using ePCRs at  the Ambulance Service provider in England. Furthermore, the conclusions deduce direct correlation to rollout progress and appetite for using EHRs in healthcare generally and could in theory influence behavior and attitudes that could foster acceptance and improve chances of successful implementation of ePCRs programme in England in general and the Ambulance Service under study.        Keywords: Electronic Health Records (EHRs), Electronic Patient Care Records (ePCRs), Design Approach, Ambulance Service (Pre-Hospital Care), Design Approach

Health records are important for keeping effective communication among all professionals involved in the process of taking care as well as for legitimating the team actions in the face of patients and families. The records must be clear and objective because they are sources of information for judicial, research, teaching, billing and auditing issues. This study has an objective to analyze the records of procedures of Level II Curative in medical records of hospitalized patients, from the nurses’ perspective, before and after the pedagogical intervention, in a Brazilian teaching hospital in the Midwest region. It was a descriptive study with both qualitative and quantitative research and was developed in many stages. The first stage included the nurses’ profiles and the identification of the main reasons why the nursing actions were not recorded. The second stage was the analysis of the records before and after the pedagogical action, which was the third stage. At last, the nurses were interviewed about their perception of the importance of the records for billing. It was observed among the sample of nurses the predominance of women (87,2%), post-graduated (82,1%) and statuary civil servants (80,4%). Even though 53,6% of the nurses said that they do not have double employment relationships, 46,4% said they do. The nurses said that it was not possible to record the procedures due to lack of time (50%), work overload (20%), lack of human resources and access to the records (12,5%), interruptions and lack of guidance (2,5%). The objective of the intervention was to discuss the importance of health records, and specially, in relation to the level II curative. 45,2% of the nurses of this institution took part in this event. In the analysis of the records, before and after the intervention, it was possible to observe the increase of the records of the curatives (82,3%), the detailing of the quantity of curatives per patient (69,9%), the classification of the wounds (63,5%), the description of the materials used in the procedures (67,3%), and also the scheduling (74%) and the checking (71,4%). The data shows that the quantity of material used maintained still. However, there was a rise of curative prescription by the nurses (79,4%) and a fall of curative prescription by the doctors (18,3%). It was also possible to observe that the performed and not prescribed procedures or prescribed and not verified procedures, in both cases, were not billed. Nevertheless, the hospital overturn related to this procedure has an increase, from July 2015. The interviews with the nurses showed that they take the responsibility in the treatment of wounds for themselves. However, it is necessary to standardize the prescriptions and the evolutions of the procedure. The complete record of this intervention is important to safeguard the institution in case of auditing. In conclusion, nurses have an important role in recording the wound treatment. The obligation of recording should be reinforced due to the quality of the service and the profession´s visibility as well as for a better material and input control and billing.
Os registros em saúde são importantes tanto para garantir comunicação efetiva entre todos os profissionais envolvidos no processo de cuidar, quanto para legitimar as ações da equipe junto ao usuário e família. Devem ser claros, e objetivos, pois servem de fonte de informações para questões jurídicas, de pesquisa, ensino, faturamento e auditoria. Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar os registros do procedimento curativo (curativo grau II) nos prontuários de pacientes internados, em um hospital universitário de Goiás, na perspectiva dos enfermeiros, antes e após um treinamento, em hospital de ensino da região Centro-Oeste do Brasil. Tratouse de estudo descritivo, de natureza mista, quanti-qualitativa, desenvolvido em várias etapas. A primeira etapa compreendeu a caracterização do grupo de enfermeiros e a identificação dos principais motivos para a falta de registro das ações de enfermagem. Na segunda etapa, a análise do prontuário procurou em dois momentos, antes e após ação educativa (terceira etapa), identificar o registro. Por último, em entrevista com enfermeiros, verificou-se sua percepção quanto à importância dos registros para o faturamento. Na amostra dos enfermeiros, observou-se predominância feminina (87,2%), de pós-graduados, (82,1%), com vínculo estatutário (80,4%). Embora 53,6% tenham alegado não ter duplo vínculo empregatício, chama a atenção 46,4% alegarem esta condição. Os enfermeiros referem ainda que nem sempre é possível a efetuação dos registros, relatando como motivos: falta de tempo (50%), sobrecarga de trabalho (20%), falta de recursos humanos e acesso à papeleta (12,5%), e interrupções e falta de orientação (2,5%). Realizou-se atividade interventiva, que teve por objetivo tratar de assunto referente à importância do registro em saúde, e especificamente em relação ao curativo grau II, e contou com a participação de 45,2% dos enfermeiros desta instituição. A análise dos prontuários antes a após a intervenção, verificou o aumento dos registros de prescrição de curativos (82,3%), discriminação da quantidade de curativos por paciente (69,9%), classificação das feridas (63,5%), descrição dos materiais utilizados (67,3%), além do aprazamento (74%) e checagem (71,4%). Não se verificou alteração relacionada ao registro da quantidade de materiais. Evidenciou-se aumento das prescrições do procedimento por enfermeiros (79,4%) e diminuição pelos médicos (18,3%). O estudo permitiu ainda identificar procedimentos executados e não prescritos ou prescritos e não checados, em ambos os casos não faturados. Apesar disto, o faturamento do hospital, no que se refere a este procedimento, apresentou aumento a partir de julho de 2015. A entrevista com enfermeiros evidenciou que este profissional assume para si a responsabilidade do tratamento de feridas, mas ainda é necessária a padronização das prescrições e evoluções referentes a este cuidado. O registro completo da intervenção é importante para que a instituição se resguarde em caso de auditoria. O enfermeiro tem papel importante no registro do tratamento de feridas. Deve ser reforçada a obrigatoriedade do registro, tanto para a qualidade do atendimento prestado e visibilidade da profissão, quanto para o melhor controle de materiais e insumos e do faturamento relacionado a este procedimento.

This study investigates the different medical records management regimes within public and private hospitals in the Umhlathuze Area, KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. The study made a comparison and examined whether the current management practices support service delivery in the context of the Batho Pele principles. In doing this, the study reviewed extensive literature on records management standards and theories, legislative framework of medical records in order to establish the extent of the level of compliance to the set regulatory framework in the management of medical records in South Africa. It also assessed the depth of the integration of ICTs in the management of medical records in South Africa. The targeted study sample in both the public and private hospital was 193. Of these, only 180 responded and this represented a respondent‟s rate of 93.5%. The study was largely a quantitative research. The study adopted a survey research design and used multiple forms of data collection techniques such as structured questionnaires, observations and document review. Quantitative data collected was analysed to obtain some descriptive statistics while qualitative data was analysed using content analysis to derive particular themes pertinent to the study. The two sets of results were compared and contrasted to produce a single interpretation and then conclusions were drawn. The study findings established that the records management practices in both hospitals were not well entrenched thus undermining quality health service delivery. This was evidenced by lack of awareness and existence of the records management policies and procedures manual; lack of adherence records management standard; lack of security measures, with rampant cases of missing files, folios and torn folders; delays in access and use of records; lack of an elaborate electronic records management programme and low levels of skill and training opportunities in records management. The use of paper records is still dominant in the public hospital; while the electronic medical record system was in place in the private hospital with some degree of success even though implementation challenges continue to exist. The integration of ICTs in the management of medical records was more evident in the private hospital while the public hospital continues to be underfunded undermining the current capacity for effective medical records management. The role of accurate, reliable and trustworthy medical records in the ii | P a g e context of quality health service delivery in accordance with Batho Pele principle in both hospitals remains problematic. In order to enhance the role of medical records for quality service delivery, the study recommended that a regulatory framework for records management should be developed and implemented in both hospitals. It is also recommended that more technical and human resource capacity is required in the public hospital to help speed up the services to its user while the private hospitals need to entrench their evolving capabilities in medical records management. The study further recommends that training around records management should be provided to all staff that deal with medical records management in both hospitals.

O uso de Registros Eletrônicos de Saúde aliados aos sistemas de classificações, têm auxiliado na implementação do Processo de Enfermagem na prática clínica. Entretanto, possuir um sistema informatizado não garante a completude e qualidade de registros, necessitando de avaliações e aperfeiçoamento de forma sistemática. Essas avaliações têm sido realizadas por instituições que buscam a Acreditação Hospitalar. Considerando essa questão, durante todo o período de preparo para a Acreditação Hospitalar, a instituição campo de estudo desenvolveu intervenções com vistas a melhoria da qualidade assistencial, contemplando ações para a qualificação dos registros informatizados de enfermagem. Assim, este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a qualidade dos registros informatizados de enfermagem de um hospital em dois momentos distintos, antes e após o preparo para a Acreditação Hospitalar. Trata-se de um estudo observacional de intervenções, retrospectivo de abordagem quantitativa realizado em um hospital universitário do sul do Brasil. A população do estudo foram os registros de enfermagem dos Serviços de Enfermagem Clínica e Cirúrgica, referentes ao período anterior e posterior a Acreditação Hospitalar, ou seja, os meses de outubro de 2009 e de 2013, respectivamente. Foram considerados critérios de inclusão prontuários de pacientes internados por pelo menos quatro dias em uma mesma unidade de internação, totalizando 224 prontuários. Não foram previstos critérios de exclusão. Os dados foram coletados por dois avaliadores entre os meses de dezembro de 2013 e janeiro de 2014. Para avaliação da qualidade dos registros, utilizou-se o instrumento Q-DIO - Versão brasileira, traduzido e validado para a língua portuguesa. Um segundo instrumento foi elaborado, concomitante a um manual de orientações, com critérios de qualidade específicos da Joint Commission International (JCI), não atendidos pelo primeiro. Foi realizado um teste piloto com 24 prontuários para estimar a concordância entre os dois avaliadores no preenchimento do Q-DIO – Versão brasileira e dos Critérios de qualidade específicos da JCI. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente. Resultados: Houve melhora significativa da qualidade dos registros de enfermagem (p<0,001). Quando avaliado o escore total do instrumento Q-DIO – Versão brasileira houve melhora em 24 dos 29 itens (82,8%) e dos Critérios de qualidade específicos da JCI, em 9 de 12 itens (75%). Com base nestes resultados, conclui-se que houve empenho à mudança de cultura, por meio da inovação organizacional, de protocolos, de auditorias e, sobretudo, de atividades educativas, o que favoreceu o reconhecimento do campo de estudo como centro acadêmico de excelência em qualidade em saúde e segurança dos pacientes pela JCI em 2013. Espera-se que este trabalho incentive hospitais a estabelecerem metas de melhorias assistenciais e, consequentemente, de registros de enfermagem, a partir de intervenções educativas.
The use of Electronic Health Records allied to classification systems has supported the Nursing Process implementation into the clinical practice. However, owning a computerized system does not guarantee the completeness and quality of records, requiring reviews and improvement in a systematic way. These assessments have been undertaken by institutions seeking to Hospital Accreditation. The hospital audits can be used as a control tool for the work quality. Considering this issue, throughout the period of preparation for Hospital Accreditation, the institution field of study developed several strategies to improve quality of care, therefore, of computerized nursing records. With the aim of to assess changes in the computerized nursing records quality, this study proposes to evaluate the nursing records quality at two different times, before and after implementation for Hospital Accreditation. This is a retrospective observational study of interventions with a quantitative approach developed in a university hospital in southern Brazil. The study population was nursing records from the surgical and medical nursing services before and after the period of preparation for Hospital Accreditation, during the period of October 2009 and 2013, respectively. Inclusion criteria were inpatient medical records with stay of length of at least four days in the same inpatient unit, totaling 224 records. No exclusion criteria were previewed. Data collection was performed by two evaluators between the months of December 2013 and January 2014. To assess the records quality, we used the Q-DIO instrument - Brazilian version, translated and validated to the Portuguese language. A second instrument was built, concomitant with a guideline instructions, with specific quality requirements of Joint Commission International (JCI), which accessed missing information from the first one. A pilot test with 24 medical records was conducted to estimate the agreement between the two raters in applying the Q-DIO - Brazilian version and the specific quality criteria from the JCI. Data were statistically analyzed. Results: There was significant improvement in the nursing records quality (p <0.001). The total score of the Q-DIO instrument - Brazilian version improved in 24 of the 29 items (82.8%), and the specific quality criteria from the JCI out 9 of 12 items (75%). Upon these results, researchers believe that there was a commitment in the hospital cultural change through organizational innovation, protocols, audits and specifically, in educational activities. In addition, the process reinforced the recognition of the field of study as an academic center with excellence in health quality and patient safety by the JCI in 2013. This study may support other hospitals to set goals for care improvement, and consequently, the nursing records, from educational interventions.
El uso de registros electrónicos de salud aliados a los sistemas de clasificación, han favorecido la implementación del proceso de enfermería en la práctica clínica. Sin embargo; el contar con un sistema informatizado no garantiza la integridad y calidad de los registros, lo que requiere acciones sistematizadas para el crecimiento continuo, estas evaluaciones son realizadas por las instituciones hospitalarias que desean la Acreditación Internacional. Es viable utilizar entonces la auditoría hospitalaria como una herramienta para controlar la calidad del trabajo; en relación a ello, la institución estudiada desarrollo numerosas estrategias para mejorar la calidad de la atención, así como también sobre los registros de enfermería informatizados, con el fin de evaluar los cambios en la calidad de los registros de enfermería. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la calidad de los registros de enfermería en dos momentos diferentes, antes y después de la preparación para la Acreditación Hospitalaria. Se trata de un estudio observacional de intervenciones, cuantitativo y retrospectivo, realizado en un hospital universitario en el sur de Brasil. La población estuvo compuesta por las historias clínicas de pacientes hospitalizados en las Unidades Clínica y Quirúrgicas antes y después del período de preparación para la Acreditación Hospitalaria, realizado entre los meses de octubre de 2009 y 2013 respectivamente. Se incluyeron las historias clínicas de los pacientes que estuvieron hospitalizados por un mínimo cuatro días en la misma unidad, totalizando 224 historias. No se tuvo criterios de exclusión. Los datos fueron recolectados por dos evaluadores independientes entre los meses de diciembre de 2013 y enero de 2014. Para evaluar la calidad de los registros se utilizó dos instrumentos, el primero denominado Q-DIO-Versão brasileira traducido y validado para la lengua portuguesa. El segundo instrumento fue desarrollado concomitante con un manual de directrices, con lineamientos específicos de calidad de la Joint Commission International (JCI), no contempladas en el primer instrumento. Para estimar las concordancias interobservadores para los dos instrumentos, se realizó una prueba piloto con 24 historias clínicas. Los datos fueron analizados estadísticamente. Resultados: Hubo un progreso significativo en la calidad de los registros de enfermería después de las intervenciones (p<0,001). En la evaluación de la puntuación total del instrumento Q-DIO–Versão brasileira, se observó un variación en 24 (82,8%) de los 29 ítems, y en 9 (75%) de 12 criterios de calidad específicos de la JCI. Con base en estos resultados, es factible hablar de un compromiso de cambio en la cultura movida por la innovación organizativa, los protocolos, las auditorías y en particular, por las intervenciones educativas, que favoreció el reconocimiento del hospital como un centro académico de excelencia en la calidad la salud y la seguridad del paciente por la JCI, en el año de 2013. Se espera que este trabajo impulse a otras instituciones hospitalarias para que establezcan metas que lleven al progreso en la atención y en consecuencia a los registros de enfermería.

Introdução: A utilização das ferramentas e instrumentos da informática no processo do atendimento de pacientes auxilia os profissionais da saúde, pois facilita a coleta e armazenamento das informações, proporcionando qualidade no atendimento e criando condições de enfrentamento dos desafios do mundo globalizado. Nesse contexto, a utilização de dados de prontuário eletrônico de pacientes vinculados à pesquisa clínica em um hospital universitário público pode auxiliar no aprimoramento da assistência à saúde, assim como subsidia dados de pesquisas no âmbito da saúde. Objetivos: Identificar e avaliar os registros provenientes de pesquisas clínicas postos nos sistemas coorporativos do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA), no período de 2014 a 2016. Método: A pesquisa utilizou abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, de análise de conteúdo de referências e de dados provenientes da rede de informação clínica e assistencial através do cruzamento de informações do sistema integrado Aplicativo para Gestão de Hospitais Universitários (AGHU) e pelo Grupo de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação (GPPG) do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, no período entre janeiro de 2014 e dezembro de 2016. Resultados: Entre os projetos, 58,6% encaminharam relatórios de pesquisa, sendo que somente 23,8% possuem registro de participantes de pesquisa. No entanto, apenas 10,3% dentre todos os estudos que indicaram utilizar pacientes no seu protocolo de pesquisa tem concordância de registro entre o GPPG8 e o AGHU. Cerca de 25,6% do total de relatórios de pesquisa encaminhados apresentam informações quanto aos seus produtos de pesquisa. As pesquisas com patrocínio privado demonstraram encaminhar mais relatórios de atualização dos projetos, porém com menor índice na apresentação dos produtos científicos (1,4%). Considerações finais: Potenciais limitações no uso dos registros existentes no AGHU foram identificadas para decisões terapêuticas pela equipe assistencial de maneira geral, tendo em vista a aparente subnotificação de informações relativas ao andamento e desfecho dos estudos desenvolvidos. Entretanto, não foi possível analisar as causas dos registros possivelmente inadequados ou incompletos, sugerindo-se pesquisas específicas com a incorporação de questionários ou entrevistas individuais para permitir maior aprofundamento na temática. Produtos: A pesquisa identificou a necessidade de três produtos derivados do estudo: (1) material explicativo para os pesquisadores informando a necessidade do registro apropriado dos participantes no sistema coorporativo; (2) modelo de relatório de pesquisa para encerramento de projeto, disponibilizado pelo GPPG, em formato online para pesquisadores responsáveis pelo projeto de pesquisa; e (3) sugestão de melhoria das informações disponibilizadas pela aba “Projetos de Pesquisa” no prontuário online dos pacientes que estão vinculados a projetos de pesquisa, informando os potenciais resultados de pesquisas envolvidas com estes à área assistencial.
Introduction: Using informatics tools on the medical care process for patients helps health professionals, makes easier to collect and to storage information, as well as exchange this information among professionals and institutions, offering quality of care and creating conditions to face challenges in a globalized world. In this context, using electronic medical records data of patients enrolled on clinical trials in a public hospital may help improving health care, as well as provide research health data. Objectives: To identify and evaluate records from clinical trials registered on corporative systems from Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA), from 2014 to 2016. Method: The research used quantitative and qualitative approach, analyzing references content and data from the network for clinical data, crossing information from Aplicativo para Gestão de Hospitais Universitários (AGHU) and Grupo de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação (GPPG) of HCPA, from 2014 and 2016. Results: Among the projects 58,6% forwarded research reports, but just 23,8% with record of research participants. However, only 10,3% of studies that report participants enrolled in study protocol matched records in GPPG8 and AGHU. About 25,6% of total research reports informed research products. Researches with private sponsor showed more update reports, but with lower presentations of scientific products (1,4%). Final considerations: Potential limitations on using existent records on AGHU were identified for therapeutic decisions by clinical team in general, with apparent underreporting of information relate to development and closure for studies developed. However was not possible to analyze causes for possibly inaccurate or incomplete records, suggesting specific research with individual questionnaires or interviews in order to allow deepening the understanding on the theme. Products: The research identify the need for three product from the study: (1) a explicative material to researchers, informing an appropriate participant’s registration on the corporative system; (2) a model of research report for project termination, available on GPPG, online, to lead researchers in research projects; and (3) improvement suggestion on information available by “research projects” tab on the online medical records for patients enroll in research projects, informing potential results associated to medical care area.

Resumo: O Centro de Atenção Integral à Saúde da Mulher (CAISM) da Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), desde o início de suas atividades, em 1986, vem buscando incorporar à prática assistencial o Processo de Enfermagem (PE). Porém, sua operacionalização sofreu muitas interferências que a tornaram lenta e difícil. O presente estudo teve como objetivo descrever a operacionalização do PE no CAISM/UNICAMP, desde sua implantação, até o momento atual, buscando identificar quais foram os eventos relevantes relacionados a mesma e resgatar junto às pessoas envolvidas, as dificuldades, as estratégias utilizadas e mudanças ocorridas a partir do processo vivenciado pelas pessoas envolvidas. Trata-se de estudo descritivo e exploratório. Foram realizadas entrevistas pessoais ou por meio da internet e também um questionário quando não foi possível o contato pessoal. Por meio de instrumento específico foi realizada análise documental. A amostra foi estabelecida por conveniência, utilizando-se o método da "bola-de-neve". Foram analisados 82 documentos, identificados 53 eventos relevantes e 27 enfermeiros foram entrevistados ou responderam ao questionário. Dentre os eventos relevantes, destacam-se a Integração Docente-Assistencial e o Programa de Educação Continuada, a evasão de enfermeiros, a extinção temporária do Programa de Educação Continuada e a alteração da jornada de trabalho dos enfermeiros contribuíram negativamente. A principal dificuldade inicial, na implantação do PE, foi a descrença, pelos próprios enfermeiros, no Processo (22,2%). Das dificuldades ocorridas desde a implantação, e que permanecem até o momento atual, a resistência, o desinteresse, a falta de envolvimento dos enfermeiros foram as principais. A falta de planejamento e de estabelecimento de prioridades relacionadas à assistência constituem as maiores dificuldades que surgiram no momento atual. A estratégia utilizada nessa operacionalização, considerada pelos entrevistados como mais adequada, foi o estudo de caso, que perde o seu valor quando ocorre falta de continuidade. A principal mudança ocorrida, percebida por eles, foi a adoção de partes ou totalidade do PE na assistência, com sua conseqüente melhoria. Concluiu-se que as dificuldades ainda existem e uma estratégia para vencê-la seria a retomada e manutenção dos estudos de casos. Para isso, sugere-se, ainda, que os processos de trabalho também sejam revistos e discutidos com a equipe de enfermagem
Abstract: The Center of Integral Attention of the Women Health (CAISM) from Campinas University (UNICAMP), is trying to incorporate to the regular assistance the process of nursing (PN) since the beginning of the activities in 1986, but this process suffered many interferences that had become it slow and difficult. This paper had the objective to describe how the introduction of the process of nursing in the CAISM/UNICAMP was made from the first days until the current moment, identifying all the important events in implantation; talking to the people involved, asking them about the difficulties the strategies and the changes through this time . This is a descriptive and exploratory study. Personal interviews and interviews by internet were made and a questionnaire was used when the personal contact was impossible. The documental analysis was made by a specific instrument. The sample was choosing by convenience, using the method of the snow ball. Eight two documents had been analyzed, fifty three important events were identified and twenty seven nurses were interviewed or answer the questionnaire. Among all the important events the integration professor- assistance and the program of Continue Education had prominence. Some events had a negative influence like the temporary extinguishing of the program of continued education, and the change of the shifts of nurses. Many nurses even abandon the institution because of this .The main difficult in the process of implantation of the PN was the incredulity of the own nurses with 22.2%. Among all the difficulties since the beginning until now, some still persist like: resistance, the disinterest and the lack of involvement of the nurses are the main ones. The lack of planning and establishments of priorities related to the assistance were the biggest difficulties that had appeared at the current moment. The most adequate strategy used in this work according to the interview was the study of the case that loses his value when the work is interrupt. The main change showed in the interview was the adoption of the PN and the improvement because of that. The conclusion is: there is a lot of problems to bypass and a strategy to do this is retake the study of the cases. For this one suggest the review of some working process and a discussion with the nursing team

Background: The vertical transmission of HIV from mother to child ranges from 15 to 40%. The preventing mothers to child transmission programme (PMTCT) services have been introduced during the past five years in South Africa; however vertical transmission of HIV remains high. Objectives: The objectives of the study were: 1. To describe the clinical and demographic characteristics of women attending the ANC clinic and delivering at the Germiston Hospital; 2. To determine the proportion of women who were offered voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) in 2004; 3. To determine the proportion of women who subsequently received PMTCT. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study I which a sample of 776 patient files were retrospectively, systematically and randomly sampled from 1, 500 antenatal files for the period 2004 (Jan-Dec), in an urban district hospital in the Gauteng Province. A checklist was used to extract specific information. Data was entered into EpiData and analysed using STATA version 8. Pearson's chi-square test was used to obtain measures of association for all categorical variables. The multiple logistic regression method was used to investigate predictors for missed PMTCT opportunities. Results: The pre_yalence proportion of syphilis was 14.19% {95%CI (11.81-16.85)}; prevalence proportion ofHIV was 33.76% {95% CI (27.53-37.13)}. The mean age ofthe sample population was 26.37 years (min=22, max=30). Forty eight per cent of the sample had registered late in the third trimester of pregnancy. Pregnant women presenting with syphilis were more likely to have a missed PMTCT opportunity {OR=2.2, 95%CI (1.16- 4.20), p=0.02}. Women having made fewer than two ANC visits were more likely to have a missed PMTCT/VCT opportunity than women having made more than two visits {OR=O.Sl, 95%CI (0.30-0.86), p=O.Ol}. Conclusions: The prevalence proportion of HIV is high in this setting (33%) and the prevalence of syphilis is seven times greater than the national prevalence. Every antenatal care visit is an opportunity for the healthcare worker to offer voluntary counselling and testing. All women identified as having syphilis infection are at high risk of acquiring HIV. Therefore every woman identified and treated for syphilis should be counselled and tested for HIV. Women must be offered HIV and AIDS education at every ANC visit. Routine opt-out counselling should be offered at every ANC visit for those who have not been previously tested. Recommendation: In order to increase the uptake of the PMTCT programme healthcare workers should have training and re-orientation on: 1. The need to use every opportunity in antenatal care and maternity wards to offer HIV counselling and testing to mothers; 2. HIV and AIDS in pregnancy, PMTCT, as well as the treatment and care of pregnant women.

In 2012, the county of Uppland in Sweden launched a service granting patients online access to their electronic medical record (EMR), including the list of staff who have logged into the record (the “log list”). Patients seem predominantly positive to this service whereas many professionals, physicians specifically, have expressed concerns about, for example, increased risks of threats and violence towards healthcare staff. One year after launch the present study was conducted to examine whether staff whose patients had gained access to online EMRs experienced greater risks of threats and violence, and were exposed to more threats and violence, than those whose patients had not yet gained access. The extent to which professional role, gender, work experience and staff attitudes to the service were important factors was also examined. A total of 174 professionals at Uppsala University Hospital responded to a web survey (35% response rate). 83 represented the emergency department, whose patients had online EMR access, and 91 represented the psychiatric department, whose patients had not. 40% of all participating professionals, emergency physicians and psychiatric staff specifically, believed that risks of threats and violence increase after launch. The results did not, however, support a correlation between patient access to online EMRs and more incidents of threats and violence, and only one respondent reported that patient access had played any significant negative role in relation to an incident. These and other results may prove useful as the online EMR service is now being launched in other Swedish counties as well.
År 2012 infördes inom Uppsala läns landsting en tjänst som ger patienter tillgång till sin journal via nätet, inklusive listan över personal som loggat in i journalen. Patienter har visat sig vara övervägande positiva till tjänsten, medan många vårdgivare, speciellt läkare, har uttryckt farhågor gällandes, till exempel, ökad risk för hot och våld mot vårdpersonal. Ett år efter införandet genomfördes denna enkätstudie med syfte att undersöka om sjukvårdspersonal vars patienter fått tillgång till journal via nätet upplever högre grad av risk för hot och våld samt om de i realiteten är mer utsatta för hot och våld än dem vars patienter inte fått denna tillgång. Även betydelsen av yrke, kön, arbetserfarenhet samt generell attityd till journal via nätet undersöktes i relation till hot och våldsrisker respektive utsatthet för våld. En webundersökning besvarades av 174 anställda vid Akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala (svarsfrekvens 35 %). 83 representerade den öppna akutvårdsmottagningen, vars patienter hade tillgång till journal via nätet, och 91 representerade de slutenvårdspsykiatriska avdelningarna, vars patienter inte hade denna tillgång. 40 % av respondenterna, speciellt akutvårdsläkare och psykiatrivårdspersonal, trodde att riskerna för hot och våld ökar vid införande av journal via nätet. Resultaten påvisade dock inte någon korrelation mellan patienttillgång till journal via nätet och förekomst av hot- och våldsincidenter och endast en respondent svarade att patienttillgång spelat en betydande negativ roll i relation till en incident. Dessa och andra resultat i studien kan vara av betydelse nu när införanden av journal via nätet sprids även till andra landsting i Sverige.

Background: Warfarin is the most frequently used oral anticoagulant worldwide and it is the oral anticoagulant of choice in South Africa for reducing thrombosis - related morbidity and mortality. However, the safety and efficacy of warfarin therapy depends mainly on careful monitoring and maintenance of the international normalized ratio (INR) within an optimal therapeutic range. In the ACTIVE - W trial conducted across nine countries, South Africa had the poorest anticoagulation control with warfarin. This study showed that 86% of patients on warfarin therapy in the country have their mean time in therapeutic range below target. This was an indication of a very poor warfarin control in South Africa .The trial reported centre - specific differences within each country. It was however silent on these differences in South Africa. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the profiles and the anticoagulation outcomes of patients on warfarin therapy in a major warfarin clinic in Western Cape Province of South Africa. Setting: Victoria Hospital - a district hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, which serves around one million people. Methods: A cross sectional review of clinical records of patients on warfarin therapy who attended the INR clinic from 01 January 2014 to 30 June 2014 was done. Data analysis was done with Stata to generate appropriate descriptive data and groups were compared using non - parametric tests. Results: Age range for male patients was between 29 - 85 years with median age of 62 years, while that of female patients was between 17 - 92 years with a median age of 66 years. Atrial fibrillation (AF) was the commonest indication for warfarin use in this study and hypertension was the commonest co-morbidity amongst these patients. Only 48.5% (66 patients) achieved target therapeutic range as of 01 July 2014, while 51.5% (70/136) of the patients were out of range. Patients who were non - alcohol users (88.9%) had better therapeutic control than those who consumed alcohol (9.6%). There was a significant association between alcohol consumption and poor anticoagulation outcomes (p value <0.022). Unlike alcohol use, there was no statistical relationship between smoking habit and target therapeutic range (P value = 0.198). The study also showed that anticoagulation outcomes were better among the older age groups, male patients and in those with atrial fibrillation. The prevalence of thrombotic events while on warfarin treatment was 2.2%, while prevalence of haemorrhagic events was 14%. Most of the patients with bleeding events were on concurrent use of warfarin and other medications with potential drug interactions. Conclusion: In this study, patients who achieved target therapeutic control were less than the acceptable 60%. Bleeding complications were more common among patients on concurrent use of warfarin with other medications such as NSAIDS and simvastatin. Therefore, it is of utmost importance for health professionals to take note of drug - drug or drug - disease interactions among patients on warfarin and to monitor INR levels more frequently in patients who have to unavoidably be on concurrent use of medications with possible major interactions with warfarin. Keywords: Oral anticoagulant, anticoagulation outcomes, therapeutic control, percentage INR within target therapeutic range (%ITTR).

A reanimação cardiopulmonar no hospital é um evento complexo, exigindo dos profissionais de saúde conhecimentos científicos, bem como habilidades e competências, tanto no atendimento do evento, como no registro do prontuário. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os aspectos éticos e legais dos registros de enfermagem no atendimento a pacientes que apresentaram parada cardiorrespiratória e foram a óbito no ano de 2003, em um hospital escola do interior do Paraná. A metodologia utilizada foi um estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, transversal com abordagem quantitativa dos registros de enfermagem, efetuados pela equipe de enfermagem no prontuário do paciente. Após analisarmos 114 prontuários pôde-se observar uma grande lacuna nos registros de enfermagem quanto aos aspectos éticos e legais. Seguindo as orientações de Du Gás (1998) em relação à identificação da categoria funcional, encontramos 101 (88,60%) registros sem identificação; em relação aos dados de identificação do profissional encontramos 108 (94,74%) destes feitos de forma inadequada. Nas medidas terapêuticas, realizadas pelos vários membros da equipe, nos deparamos com 103 (90,35%) registros sem informação Observamos que a respeito das informações pertinentes ao estado geral do paciente tais informações não estão presentes em 108 (94,74%) dos registros e que em 92 (80,7%) deles em relação às respostas específicas do paciente quanto à terapia e à assistência tampouco houveram Com base no referencial teórico de Potter e Perry (2004) referente à concisão e organização 114 (100%) registros apresentaram-se inadequados. Dessa forma verificamos que existe uma deficiência na elaboração dos registros de enfermagem, o que é inconcebível tanto no aspecto legal quanto na ética.
The cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the hospital is a very complex event, requiring from its staff scientific knowledge as well as skills when attending on the event and when registering specific data on the medical chart. This study focuses on the evaluation of the ethical and legal aspects of the nursing record regarding the attendance on patients who went through a cardiorespiratory arrest and died within the year 2003 in a teaching – hospital in the countryside of Paraná. The methodology used was a descriptive, retrospective, transversal study with a quantitative approach of the nursing record ran by the nursing staff in the patient’s record. After analyses of 114 records it has been observed a lack of ethical and legal issues in the nursing records. Following the instructions given by Du Gás (1998), we have found 101 (88,60%) without functional category identification, 108 (94,74%) had inadequate staff’s data.103 (90,35%) lacked information regarding therapeutic measures taken, 108 (94,74%) did not have relevant observations on the general state of the patient and in 92 (80,7%) we have found no register of the results taken from the patient regarding the therapy and assistance recieved. .According to the theorical referential by Potter and Perry (2004) on concision and organization we have found 114 (100%) inadequate nursing record. Thus, it has been verified that there is deficiency in the elaboration of the nursing staff, which is nor not correct neither in ethical in legal aspects.

T he aim of this study is to analyze the view of nurses about nursing records in the patient chart, in perspective of the record of humanized care. This is a case study, with qualitative approach. For its achievement, was sought and granted authorization from the direction of the Hospital Universit?rio Onofre Lopes (HUOL) and the Ethics Committee in Research of HUOL as Statement No. 422/10. During data collection, interviews were conducted with 20 nurses of the institution. The data analysis was based on the theoretical framework of Minayo to thematic content analysis, grounded in authors who work with themes, nursing records and quality care. With the empirical material, we constructed a framework of analysis, which was identified four categories thus nominated, "Reading and learning from those who register," "nursing records and quality of care," "the essence of nursing records" and "intention and action on the record of the subjective aspects of the patient." The results show that the records are insufficient, even in the case of the procedures performed with the patients often do not inform about the aspects that deal with the subjectivity that surround it, and admit that the records do not represent a parameter for evaluating the quality of care at least at that institution. In summary, the respondents recognize the importance of valuing subjectivity of the patient in their treatment, yet admit to neglect this aspect as significant for comprehensive health care, humane and quality
O objetivo do presente estudo ? analisar a vis?o de enfermeiros acerca dos registros de enfermagem no prontu?rio, na perspectiva do registro do cuidado humanizado.

A an?lise do material coletado foi realizada a partir do referencial te?rico de Minayo para an?lise tem?tica do conte?do, ancorada em autores que trabalham com os temas, registros de enfermagem e humaniza??o da assist?ncia. A partir do material emp?rico, foi constru?da uma grelha de an?lise, sendo identificadas quatro categorias, assim, nominadas: Lendo e aprendendo com o que se registra ; os registros de enfermagem e a qualidade da assist?ncia ; a ess?ncia dos registros de enfermagem e a inten??o e gesto sobre o registro dos aspectos subjetivos do paciente . Os resultados apontam que os registros s?o incipientes, mesmo em se tratando dos procedimentos realizados com o paciente; comumente, n?o informam acerca dos aspectos que tratam das subjetividades que o envolvem; e admitem que os registros n?o representam um par?metro para avaliar a qualidade da assist?ncia, pelo menos, naquela Institui??o. Em s?ntese, os participantes da pesquisa reconhecem a import?ncia da valoriza??o da subjetividade do paciente em seu tratamento, no entanto confessam negligenciar esse aspecto t?o significativo para uma assist?ncia integral, humanizada e de qualidade

The advantage of a well-developed health information system is the significant role played by records produced by such a system beyond recording medical history of individuals. They are the foundation for birth registrations which when fully complete is an important tool for acquiring data necessary for planning and monitoring child and maternal health in a country. This study aimed to investigate the potential of hospital birth records to estimate the number of births in the country and supplement birth registrations data. Data was abstracted from public facilities where births occur in two municipalities; Germiston in Gauteng and Nkomazi in Mpumalanga for the period 2014 to 2016. Modified version of the BORN Data Quality Framework (BORN-DQF) of the Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion (2016) was used to assess the contents and quality of hospital birth records.

Introdução: A qualidade dos registros de enfermagem é imprescindível para documentar as necessidades dos pacientes/usuários no processo saúde-doença nas diferentes dimensões do cuidado. Objetivo geral: Avaliar a qualidade dos registros do processo de enfermagem (PE) no prontuário eletrônico de pacientes admitidos nas unidades de internação (clínica e cirúrgica), em um hospital oncológico e de ensino, no Município de São Paulo. Método: Estudo quantitativo, exploratório, descritivo e documental. A casuística compôs-se de 246 prontuários eletrônicos, selecionados por amostragem probabilística, aleatória simples e proporcional. Os dados foram coletados entre outubro e dezembro de 2015, mediante um formulário, contendo os registros relativos ao PE no prontuário eletrônico: avaliação inicial, exame físico, diagnóstico, evolução, prescrição e anotação de enfermagem. Os atributos preenchimento, representado pela presença ou ausência dos registros e a completude por completo, parcialmente completo e incompleto foram avaliados. A análise dos dados foi realizada, empregando-se a estatística descritiva e inferencial, com significância de 5%. Resultados: A conformidade geral quanto ao preenchimento dos registros correspondeu a 85% e a completude, 15,4%. Na avaliação da conformidade relativa aos seis itens, a maior conformidade de preenchimento envolveu a evolução e a anotação de enfermagem (100%), e a de completude foi a prescrição de enfermagem (82,5%). Os piores índices de conformidade relativos ao preenchimento ocorreram na avaliação inicial (86,2%) e de completude, no exame físico (48,8%). Nas unidades da oncoclínica e oncocirúrgica, a maior conformidade de preenchimento foi na evolução e na anotação de enfermagem (100%), e de completude, a prescrição de enfermagem (84,7% na oncoclínica e 80,5% na oncocirúrgica). Os piores percentuais, quanto ao preenchimento nas unidades, foram na avaliação inicial (83,9% na oncoclínica e 88,3% na oncocirúrgica), e de completude ocorreram no exame físico (54,2% na oncoclínica e 43,8% na oncocirúrgica). Na comparação entre as unidades, os itens da avaliação inicial, envolvendo os registros de queda e cuidador, e o registro de dor na evolução de enfermagem apresentaram baixos índices de conformidade, com diferença estatisticamente significativa, valor de p<0,001. Conclusão: Os achados evidenciaram elevados índices de conformidade na presença dos registros de enfermagem, porém, uma certa fragilidade na dimensão qualitativa desses documentos, frente aos percentuais encontrados na completude. Outrossim, ratificaram a importância do monitoramento e da avaliação desses registros, para implementar ações de aprimoramento, visando maiores índices de conformidade no prontuário eletrônico.
Introduction: The quality of nursing records is essential to document the needs of patients/users in the health-disease process in different dimensions of care. General Objective: To evaluate the quality of the records of the nursing process (NP) in electronic medical records of patients admitted to inpatient units (clinical and surgical), in an oncological and teaching hospital in São Paulo. Method: Quantitative, exploratory, descriptive, and documentary study. The casuistry consisted of 246 electronic medical records, selected by probabilistic sampling, simple random and proportional. Data were collected between October and December 2015, using a form containing records relating to the NP in the electronic medical record: initial assessment, physical examination, diagnosis, evolution, prescription and nursing records. The filling attributes, represented by the presence or absence of records and the absolute completeness, partially complete and incomplete were evaluated. The data analysis was performed, using descriptive and inferential statistics, with 5% significance. Results: The overall compliance as the fulfillment of the records corresponded to 85% and completeness to 15.4%. In conformity assessment on the six items, most fillings involved the evolution and nursing records (100%), and the completion was the nursing prescription (82.5%). The worst compliance rates were for the filling occurred at baseline (86.2%) and completeness, physical examination (48.8%). In units of oncologic clinics and oncologic surgeries, the highest compliance was filling in the evolution and nursing records (100%), and completeness, the nursing prescription (84.7% in oncologic clinics and 80.5% in oncologic surgeries). The worst percentage, as to whether the units were at baseline (83.9% in oncologic clinics and 88.3% in oncologic surgeries), and completion took place on physical examination (54.2% in oncologic clinics and 43.8% in oncologic surgeries). Comparing the units, the items of the initial evaluation, involving the loss of records and caregiver, and the pain in nursing evolution showed low levels of compliance with a statistically significant difference, p <0.001. Conclusion: The results show high levels of compliance in the presence of nursing records, however, a certain fragility in the qualitative dimension of these documents, compared to the percentage of completion. Furthermore, ratified the importance of monitoring and evaluation of these records, to implement improvement actions aimed at increased compliance rates of electronic medical records.

Limited data exists describing the long-term prognosis of patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) further stratified according to currently recommended ejection fraction (EF) findings. In addition, little is known about the magnitude of, and factors associated with, long-term prognosis for these patients. Based on previously validated and clinically relevant criteria, we defined HF-REF as patients with an EF value ≤40%, HF-PEF was defined as an EF value > 50%, and HF-BREF was defined as patients with an EF value during their index hospitalization between 41 and 49%. The hospital medical records of residents of the Worcester (MA) metropolitan area who were discharged after ADHF from all 11 medical centers in central Massachusetts during the 5 study years of 1995, 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006 were reviewed. Follow-up was completed through 2011 for all patient cohorts. The average age of this population was 75 years, the majority was white, and 44% were men. Patients with HF-PEF experienced higher post discharge survival rates than patients with either HF-REF or HF-BREF at 1, 2, and 5-years after discharge. Advanced age and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate findings at the time of hospital admission were important predictors of 1-year death rates, irrespective of EF findings. Previously diagnosed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, and atrial fibrillation were associated with a poor prognosis in patients with PEF and REF whereas a history of diabetes was an important prognostic factor for patients with REF and BREF. In conclusion, although improvements in 1-year post-discharge survival were observed for patients in each of the 3 EF groups examined to varying degrees, the post- 7 discharge prognosis of all patients with ADHF remains guarded. In addition, we observed differences in several prognostic factors between patients with ADHF with varying EF findings, which have implications for more refined treatment and surveillance plans for these patients.

Limited data exists describing the long-term prognosis of patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) further stratified according to currently recommended ejection fraction (EF) findings. In addition, little is known about the magnitude of, and factors associated with, long-term prognosis for these patients. Based on previously validated and clinically relevant criteria, we defined HF-REF as patients with an EF value ≤40%, HF-PEF was defined as an EF value > 50%, and HF-BREF was defined as patients with an EF value during their index hospitalization between 41 and 49%. The hospital medical records of residents of the Worcester (MA) metropolitan area who were discharged after ADHF from all 11 medical centers in central Massachusetts during the 5 study years of 1995, 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006 were reviewed. Follow-up was completed through 2011 for all patient cohorts. The average age of this population was 75 years, the majority was white, and 44% were men. Patients with HF-PEF experienced higher post discharge survival rates than patients with either HF-REF or HF-BREF at 1, 2, and 5-years after discharge. Advanced age and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate findings at the time of hospital admission were important predictors of 1-year death rates, irrespective of EF findings. Previously diagnosed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, and atrial fibrillation were associated with a poor prognosis in patients with PEF and REF whereas a history of diabetes was an important prognostic factor for patients with REF and BREF. In conclusion, although improvements in 1-year post-discharge survival were observed for patients in each of the 3 EF groups examined to varying degrees, the post- 7 discharge prognosis of all patients with ADHF remains guarded. In addition, we observed differences in several prognostic factors between patients with ADHF with varying EF findings, which have implications for more refined treatment and surveillance plans for these patients.

Economic justification for rehabilitative services has resulted in the need for outcome based research which could quantify success or failure in individual patients and formulate baseline variables which could predict outcomes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the utilization of baseline clinical, exercise test, and psychosocial variables to predict clinically relevant changes in exercise tolerance of cardiac patients who participated in early outpatient cardiac rehabilitation. Clinical records were analyzed retrospectively to obtain clinical, psychosocial and exercise test data for 94 patients referred to an early outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program at a large urban hospital in the Southeast US. All patients participated in supervised exercise training 3d/wk for 2-3 months. A standardized training outcome score STO) was devised to evaluate training effect by tabulating changes in patients predicted VO2, body weight and exercising heart rates after 8-12 weeks of exercise based cardiac rehabilitation. STO = Predicted VO2 change + BW change- HR change. The Multi-Factorial Analysis was applied to derive coefficients in the STO formula so that the STO scores reflected the independent effects of BW, HR and Predicted V02 changes on training outcome. Patients were classified into one of three possible outcome categories based on STO scores, i.e. improvement, no change, or decline. Thresholds for classifying patients were the following; STO scores greater than or equal to 3 SEM above the mean = improved, (N= 40: 41%), STO scores less than or equal to 3 SEM below the mean = decline, (N=34: 35%), STO scores within 3 SEM= no change, (N=23: 24%). Multiple logistic regression was used to identify patient attributes predictive of improvement, decline, or no change from measures routinely collected at the point of admission to rehabilitation. The model for prediction of improvement correctly classified 70% of patients as those who improved vs. those who did not (sensitivity 70%, specificity 71%). This model generated the following variables as having predictive capabilities; recent CABG, emotional status, social status, calcium channel blocker, recent angioplasty, maximum diastolic BP, maximum systolic BP and resting systolic BP. The model for predicting those who declined vs. those who did not decline demonstrated higher correct classification rate of 74% and specificity (84%). This model generated the following variables as having predictive capabilities; social status, calcium channel blocker, orthopedic limitation, role function, QOL score and Digitalis. However, these models may include certain bias because the same observations to fit the model were also used to estimate the classification errors. Therefore, cross validation was performed utilizing the single point deletion method; this method yielded somewhat lower fraction correct classification rates (66%,69%) and sensitivity rates (56%,44%) for improvement vs. no improvement and decline vs. no decline groups respectively. Conclusion A combined set of baseline clinical, psychosocial and exercise measures can demonstrate moderate success in predicting training outcome based on STO scores in hospital outpatient cardiac rehabilitation. In contrast psychosocial data seem to account for more of the variance in prediction of decline than other types of baseline variables examined in this study. Baseline blood pressure responses both at rest and during exercise were the greatest predictors of improvement. However, cross validation of these models indicates that these results could be biased eliciting overly optimistic predictive capabilities, due to the analysis of fitted data. These models need to be validated in independent sample with patients in similar settings.

Objetivo: Avaliar a satisfação e expectativas dos pacientes e médicos antes e depois da implantação de um registro médico eletrônico (RME) de pacientes no ambulatório de clínica médica de um hospital universitário. Métodos: Foram realizadas 389 entrevistas com pacientes e 151 com médicos antes e depois da implantação de um RME comercial no ambulatório de Clínica Médica do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade de São Paulo, Brasil. Os médicos foram categorizados por seus anos de graduação (10 anos ou menos e mais de 10 anos). As respostas ao questionário dadas pelos médicos foram classificadas como favorável ou contra o uso de RME, antes e depois da implantação do sistema, recebendo 1 ou 0 pontos, respectivamente. A soma destes pontos gerou uma pontuação analisada por regressão múltipla para determinar quais os fatores que contribuem para a aceitação de RME pelos médicos. Para se avaliar o comportamento de pacientes e médicos em um período em que a implantação já havia entrado na rotina, realizou-se uma terceira etapa de entrevistas com pacientes e médicos. Resultados: O grau de satisfação do paciente era o mesmo antes e depois da implantação (p > 0,05). O tempo de espera para ser atendido foi maior após a implantação de RME (p < 0,0001), embora a percepção dos pacientes tenha apontado para uma direção diferente (p=0,0186). Médicos formados há menos de 10 anos já tinham usado os registros eletrônicos em outros hospitais e clínicas (p=0,0141). Estes médicos tinham expectativas mais positivas antes da implantação (p=0,0018). Este otimismo foi reduzido após a implantação, devido ao mau funcionamento do sistema durante a fase inicial (p=0,0229). A utilização do RME foi maior pelos médicos mais jovens (p < 0,0001). Na terceira avaliação os pacientes mostraram-se muito satisfeitos com o atendimento (porcentagem de mais de 90%). Percebiam a utilização do computador durante a consulta e valorizavam essa utilização. Os médicos com 10 anos ou menos de graduação, percebiam e valorizavam mais as facilidades do registro eletrônico e o utilizavam mais. Em 11 de 18 questões específicas sobre o desempenho de tarefas clínicas os médicos mais jovens julgaram mais fácil utilizar o RME, do que os médicos mais antigos p < 0,05. Questionados especificamente sobre a satisfação com o RME, os médicos mais jovens responderam \"boa\" e \"excelente\" em maior proporção do que os com mais de 10 anos de formados (p=0,0011)
Objective: To evaluate the satisfaction and expectations of patients and physicians before and after the implementation of an electronic medical record (EMR) in internal medicine outpatient clinic of a university hospital. Methods: We conducted 389 interviews with patients and 151 with doctors before and after the implementation of a commercial RME in internal medicine outpatient clinic of the Hospital das Clinicas, University of São Paulo, Brazil. Doctors were categorized by their graduate years (10 years or less and more than 10 years). The answers to the questionnaire given by doctors were classified as favorable or against the use of EMR, before and after the implementation of the system, receiving 1 or 0 points, respectively. The sum of the points generated scores analyzed by multiple regression to determine the factors that contribute to the acceptance of EMR by doctors. To evaluate the behavior of patients and doctors in a period when the implementation had already entered the routine, a third stage of interviews with patients and doctors was carried out. Results: The degree of patient satisfaction was the same before and after implantation (p > 0.05). The waiting time to be attended was increased after the implementation of EMR (p < 0.0001), although the perception of patients has pointed to a different direction (p=0.0186). Doctors graduated less than 10 years had already used the electronic records in other hospitals and clinics (p=0.0141). These doctors had more positive expectations before implantation (p=0.0018). This optimism was reduced after implantation, due to system malfunction during the initial phase (p=0.0229). Utilization of EMR was higher by younger physicians (p < 0.0001). The third evaluation showed the patients were very satisfied with the service (over 90%). They noticed the use of the computer during the consultation and valued such use. Doctors with 10 or less graduation years, perceived and valued more the facilities of electronic medical records and used more. In 11 of 18 specific questions about the performance of clinical tasks younger doctors deemed it easier to use the electronic medical record, than older physicians (p < 0.05). When asked specifically about satisfaction with EMR, younger physicians responded \"good\" and \"excellent\" in greater proportion than the old physicians (p=0.0011)

This study is the first to employ an epidemiological framework to evaluate the ‘fit-for-purpose’ of ICD-10-AM external cause of injury codes, ambulance and hospital clinical documentation for injury surveillance. Importantly, this thesis develops an evidence-based platform to guide future improvements in routine data collections used to inform the design of effective injury prevention strategies. Quantification of the impact of ambulance clinical records on the overall information quality of Queensland hospital morbidity data collections for injury causal information is a unique and notable contribution of this study.

Alguns estudos têm proposto que os acidente ofídicos em crianças estão associados a maior gravidade e ao maior risco de desenvolvimento de complicações comparados aos acidentes em adultos. Este estudo retrospectivo descreve as características de acidentes causados por serpentes do gênero Bothrops admitidos no Hospital Vital Brazil/Instituto Butantan/SP (HVB/IB) e compara a gravidade, e necessidade de soroterapia antiveneno e o risco para o desenvolvimento de complicações entre crianças (menores de 13 anos) e adultos. Trata-se de uma coorte histórica que utilizou dados de prontuários do arquivo do HVB/IB de dezembro de 1999 a junho de 2003. Foram incluídos no estudo pacientes que trouxeram a serpente ou apresentavam manifestações clínicas ou laboratoriais compatíveis com envenenamento botrópico. Não foi observada diferença estatisticamente significante na freqüência da gravidade dos envenenamentos, no número de ampolas administradas e na freqüência de complicações entre os dois grupos estudados. O estudo sugere que os acidentes ofídicos causados por serpentes do gênero Bothrops apresentam gravidade semelhante na avaliação admissional e evolução com a mesma proporção de complicações em crianças quando comparados aos acidentes em adultos
Some studies propose that the level of severity of the accidents caused by snakes in children can be associated with a stronger envenoming and a higher risk of later complication if compared to the same accidents in adults. This retrospective study aim to describe the caracteristics of snakebites acidents of the genus Bothrops, and compare their severities, necessity of antivenom, and the risk of developing later complications between children (less than 13 years) and adults, all the accidents where admitted at Hospital Vital Brazil/Instituto Butantan/SP, Brazil (HVB). This retrospective cohort study was carried out by using HVB\'s records of snakebite victims, from December 1999 to June 2003. Patients included were those who brought the snake and/or have the clinical or laboratorial presence of abnormalities compatible with Bothrops envenoming. No statistic differences were found between the two groups of this study concerning the severity of envenoming, number of antivenom vials and the frequency of complications. This study suggests that snakebite accidents are similar between adults and children. Age is not supposed to be a predictor of complication in such accidents

Introdução. É crescente a introdução de novas tecnologias e conhecimentos no campo da saúde, desta forma, a Educação Permanente em Saúde (EPS) que se constitui em um processo de análise e problematização do trabalho, é uma ferramenta eficaz na incorporação das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC). Objetivos: Construir e implantar um Programa de Educação Permanente em Saúde voltado ao desenvolvimento do uso de novas tecnologias no campo da saúde. Assim, como identificar a percepção da equipe interprofissional em saúde que participou de capacitações e treinamentos referentes ao uso do Prontuário Eletrônico do Paciente (PEP), quanto: à metodologia utilizada e o processo de construção do programa; à contribuição do treinamento na qualificação da assistência à saúde; ao uso do PEP e a sua relação com a introdução de TIC no estímulo a interprofissionalidade; e ao uso do PEP e a sua relação com a promoção da EPS. Método: Estudo descritivo e exploratório de abordagem quantitativa, utilizando o instrumento de percepção do tipo atitudinal Likert para coleta de dados. Resultados: Foram construídas 4 dimensões (Dimensão-1 “Serviço de Educação Continuada como um espaço estimulador de conhecimento sobre TIC na saúde”, Dimensão-2 “O uso de TIC na saúde como ferramenta estimuladora do trabalho interprofissional”, Dimensão-3 “O uso do PEP e a sua relação com a promoção do processo de EPS” e Dimensão-4 “O PEP como instrumento qualificador para assistência à saúde”), contendo 17 asserções positiva. O instrumento atitudinal foi aplicado em uma população de 71 profissionais da área da saúde. O teste de confiabilidade do instrumento foi de 0,82 e a validação estatística mostrou perda de uma asserção, denotando qualidade do processo de validação de conteúdo e densidade estatística. Conclusão: Os respondentes reconheceram a importância do programa, assim como PEP um elemento qualificador para assistência à saúde. Salientamos a necessidade das instituições hospitalares, adotarem políticas que contribuam para a qualificação de seus profissionais, com ênfase no trabalho colaborativo e interprofissional à luz da integralidade do cuidado e sustentabilidade de uma saúde, de fato para todos.
Introduction: With the constant increase in new technologies and knowledge in the health field, the Continuing Health Education (CHE) which constitutes a process of analysis and questioning of work, is an effective tool in the incorporation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Objectives: To build and deploy a program of continuing healthcare education focused on the development of the use of new technologies in the health field, as well as identifying the perception of interprofessional health team that took part in training and training on the use of Electronic Patient Record (EPR) on the methodology used and the program of the construction process; the training contribution to the qualification of health care; the use of EPR and its relation with the introduction of ICT in stimulating inter professionalism; and the use of EPR and its relation to the promotion of CHE. Method: Descriptive and exploratory study of quantitative approach, using the attitudinal Likert-type perception instrument for data collection. Results: Four dimensions were built (Dimension-1 "Continuing Education Service as a stimulator of learning area of ICT in health, Dimension-2" The use of ICT in health field as a stimulating tool for interprofessional work, "Dimension-3" The use of EPR and its relation to the promotion of the CHE process" and Dimension-4" The EPR as qualifier tool for health care), containing 17 positive assertions. The attitudinal tool was applied to a population of 71 health care professionals. The instrument reliability test was 0.82 and statistical validation showed loss of one assertion, denoting quality of the validation process content and statistical density. Conclusion: Respondents recognized the importance of the program, as well the EPR as a qualifying element to health care. We emphasize the need for hospitals adopt policies that contribute to the qualification of its professionals, with an emphasis on collaborative and interprofessional work in the light of comprehensive care and sustainability of health for all.

A new hospital in United Arab Emirates (UAE) plans to adopt health information technology (HIT) and become fully digitalized once operational. The hospital has identified a need to assess basic computer literacy of new employees prior to offering them training on various HIT applications. Lack of research in identifying an accurate assessment method for basic computer literacy among health care professionals led to this explanatory correlational research study, which compared self-assessment scores and a simulated actual computer skills test to find an appropriate tool for assessing computer literacy. The theoretical framework of the study was based on constructivist learning theory and self-efficacy theory. Two sets of data from 182 hospital employees were collected and analyzed. A t test revealed that scores of self-assessment were significantly higher than they were on the actual test, which indicated that hospital employees tend to score higher on self-assessment when compared to actual skills test. A Pearson product moment correlation revealed a statistically weak correlation between the scores, which implied that self-assessment scores were not a reliable indicator of how an individual would perform on the actual test. An actual skill test was found to be the more reliable tool to assess basic computer skills when compared to self-assessment test. The findings of the study also identified areas where employees at the local hospital lacked basic computer skills, which led to the development of the project to fill these gaps by providing training on basic computer skills prior to them getting trained on various HIT applications. The findings of the study will be useful for hospitals in UAE who are in the process of adopting HIT and for health information educators to design appropriate training curricula based on assessment of basic computer literacy.

Introdução: Lesão renal aguda (LRA) é um problema de saúde que repercute diretamente nos índices de morbimortalidade de pacientes graves. Objetivo: Identificar os fatores associados à LRA em pacientes clínicos e cirúrgicos durante a hospitalização em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI). Método: Foi realizado um estudo tipo caso-controle em uma UTI geral de hospital privado do interior paulista, mediante levantamento dos registros de prontuário dos pacientes internados, no período de 2014 e 2015. Para tanto, os participantes foram divididos em quatro grupos, sendo: dois casos, constituído de pacientes clínicos e cirúrgicos que desenvolveram LRA durante hospitalização na UTI e dois controles com o mesmo perfil, mas que não desenvolveram LRA durante o período do estudo. Considerou-se LRA um aumento de 0,3 mg/dl sobre o valor basal de creatinina sérica nas primeiras 48hs de internação na UTI, conforme definição adotada na classificação AKIN (Acute Kidney Injury Network), pelo critério de creatinina. As variáveis analisadas foram: sexo, idade, raça, estado civil, dias de internação, desdobramento da hospitalização, uso de ventilação mecânica, diagnóstico de entrada, fatores de risco cardiovascular e outras comorbidades, fatores de risco nefrológicos), procedimentos realizados (vascular e contrastado), medicamentos nefrológicos/utilização de antibióticos e exames laboratoriais. Inicialmente, todas as variáveis foram analisadas descritivamente. As variáveis quantitativas foram apresentadas em termos de médias e desvios-padrão e as variáveis classificatórias em tabelas contendo frequências absolutas (n) e relativas (%). Foi realizada análise univariada de cada exposição sobre a LRA, incluindo no modelo de regressão logística múltipla as exposições que nesta etapa mais se associaram com a LRA. Na sequência realizou-se o teste de interações duplas entre as exposições incluídas no modelo múltiplo, e o modelo final foi composto somente com os principais efeitos de cada exposição, gerando assim odds ratio da LRA entre pacientes clínicos e cirúrgicos. Valores de p < 0,05 foram considerados estatisticamente significantes. Resultados: Participaram deste estudo 656 pacientes, sendo 205 do grupo clínico, 123 do cirúrgico e o mesmo número de controle, para ambos os grupos (328). O tempo de internação dos clínicos foi maior, média de 10 dias, a prevalência da LRA foi estimada em 12%. Praticamente a mesma proporção de homens e mulheres foram acometidos pela LRA. Na análise univariada foram identificados como fatores associados à LRA para o grupo de pacientes clínicos: dias de internação (p<0.0001), óbito (p<0.0001), ventilação mecânica (p<0.0001), diagnóstico respiratório (p=0.0178) e cardiovascular (p=0.0008), diabetes (p=0.0347), hipertensão arterial (p=0.0009), sepse (p<0.0001), parada cardiorrespiratória (p=0.0326), hipovolemia (p=0.0002), insuficiência cardíaca (p<0.0001), procedimento contrastado (p=0.0046), quimioterapia (p=0.0180), droga vasoativa (p<0.0001), antibiótico e antibiótico simultâneo (p<0.0001), associação > três fatores (p<0.0001). Para o grupo de cirúrgicos destacaram-se: ter companheiro (p=0.0085), dias de internação (p<0.0001), óbito (p<0.0001), ventilação mecânica (p<0.0001), diagnóstico gastrointestinal (p=0.0094) e neurológico (p=0.0349), doença tromboembólica (p=0.0442), sepse (p=0.0006), PCR (p=0.0442), hipovolemia (p=0.0199), arritmia (p=0.0099), neoplasia renal (p=0.0442), doença obstrutiva renal (p=0.0242), furosemida (p=0.0031), droga vasoativa (p<0.0001), antibiótico simultâneo (p<0.0001), associação > três fatores (p<0.0001). Na análise multivariada foram identificados como fatores associados à LRA para o grupo de pacientes clínicos: hipertensão (p=0.0349; OR=1.9615), hipovolemia (p=0.0060, OR=5.607), insuficiência cardíaca (p=0.0032; OR=5.3123), noradrenalina (p<0.0001; OR 9.4912), dopamina (p=0.0009; OR 3.5212), dobutamina (p=0.0131; OR 5.2612) antibiótico simultâneo (p<0.0001; OR=3.4821), e associação > três fatores (p<0.0001; OR=5.0074). Nesta análise, para os cirúrgicos os fatores associados à LRA foram: hipovolemia (p=0.0260; OR=3.2778), furosemida (p=0.0032; OR=2.3701), noradrenalina (p=0.0060; OR=4.8851), glico/polipeptídeo (p=0.0009; OR=22.9281) e associação > três fatores (p<0.0001; OR=1.2682). Conclusão: A LRA em pacientes clínicos e cirúrgicos é um evento multifatorial, que ocorreu notadamente em pacientes com idade avançada, com maior tempo de internação e predispões ao óbito. Associou-se a etiologias cardiovasculares, complicações decorrentes da gravidade dos participantes e utilização de medicamentos com potencial nefrotóxico. O estudo também mostrou que a concomitância de mais de três fatores de risco contribuiu para a LRA. Produto da dissertação: Elaborado software para classificação do risco e presença de LRA entre pacientes clínicos e cirúrgicos hospitalizados na UTI adulto, o qual foi incluído na plataforma institucional do prontuário eletrônico. Este material aborda duas etapas de avaliação: a primeira integra os fatores associados com a disfunção renal e eventual emissão de alerta amarelo via sistema de prescrição médica e evolução multiprofissional; e a segunda, com a detecção da LRA utilizando o critério de AKIN (e eventual emissão de alerta vermelho via sistema de prescrição médica e evolução multiprofissional). As avaliações serão realizadas na admissão e a cada 48 horas de hospitalização na UTI.
Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a health problem that directly affects the morbidity and mortality rates of critically ill patients. Object: Identify the factors associated with AKI in clinical and surgical patients during hospitalization in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Method: A case-control study was carried out at a general ICU of a private hospital in the interior of São Paulo, by means of a survey of the records of hospitalized patients, in the period of 2014 and 2015. Participants were divided into four groups. : Two cases, consisting of clinical and surgical patients who developed AKI during ICU hospitalization and two controls with the same profile but who did not develop AKI during the study period. An increase of 0.3 mg / dL over the baseline serum creatinine in the first 48 hours of ICU admission was considered, according to the definition adopted by the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN), by the creatinine criterion. The variables analyzed were: gender, age, color, marital status, days of hospitalization, hospitalization, use of mechanical ventilation, diagnosis of entry, cardiovascular risk factors and other comorbidities, nephrological risk factors), vascular and Nephrological drugs / use of antibiotics and laboratory tests. Initially, all variables were analyzed descriptively. The quantitative variables were presented in terms of means and standard deviations and the classificatory variables in tables containing absolute (n) and relative (%) frequencies. Univariate analysis of each exposure on AKI was performed, including in the multiple logistic regression model the exposures that were most associated with AKI at this stage. The double interactions test was performed between the exposures included in the multiple model, and the final model was composed only with the main effects of each exposure, thus generating the odds ratio of AKI between clinical and surgical patients. Values of p <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: 656 patients participated in this study, 205 of the clinical group, 123 of the surgical group and the same number of controls, for both groups (328). Clinical hospitalization time was longer, mean of 10 days, the prevalence of AKI was estimated at 12%. Almost the same proportion of men and women were affected by the AKI. In the univariate analysis, the following factors were identified for the clinical group: hospitalization (p <0.0001), death (p <0.0001), mechanical ventilation (p <0.0001), respiratory (p = 0.0178) and cardiovascular (P = 0.0008), hypertension (p = 0.0008), hypertension (p = 0.0009), sepsis (p <0.0001), cardiorespiratory arrest (p = 0.0326), hypovolemia (P <0.0180), vasoactive drug (p <0.0001), antibiotic and simultaneous antibiotic (p <0.0001), association> three factors (p <0.0001). For the surgical group, the following were the most important: companion (p = 0.0085), days of hospitalization (p <0.0001), death (p <0.0001), mechanical ventilation (p <0.0001), gastrointestinal (p = 0.0094) and neurological (P = 0.0449), thromboembolic disease (p = 0.0442), sepsis (p = 0.0006), CRP (p = 0.0442), hypovolaemia (p = 0.0199), arrhythmia (p = 0.0099), renal neoplasia (P = 0.0242), furosemide (p = 0.0031), vasoactive drug (p <0.0001), concurrent antibiotic (p <0.0001), association> three factors (p <0.0001). In the multivariate analysis, hypertension (p = 0.0349, OR = 1.9615), hypovolemia (p = 0.0060, OR = 5.607), heart failure (p = 0.0032, OR = 5.3123) (P <0.0001; OR 9.4912), dopamine (p = 0.0009, OR 3.5212), and dobutamine (p = 0.0131; OR 5.2612) 0.0001; OR = 5.0074). In this analysis, the factors associated with AKI were hypovolemia (p = 0.0260, OR = 3.2778), furosemide (p = 0.0032, OR = 2.3701), noradrenaline (p = 0.0060, OR = 4.8851), glycol / polypeptide P = 0.0009; OR = 22.9281) and association> three factors (p <0.0001; OR = 1.2682). Conclusion: The LRA in clinical and surgical patients is a multifactorial event that occurred notably in patients with advanced age, with longer hospitalization and predispositions to death. It was associated with cardiovascular etiologies, complications due to the severity of the participants and use of drugs with nephrotoxic potential. The study also showed that the concomitance of more than three risk factors contributed to AKI. Product of the dissertation: Elaborated software for risk classification and presence of AKI among clinical and surgical patients hospitalized in the adult ICU, which was included in the electronic medical records institutional platform. This material addresses two stages of evaluation: the first integrates the factors associated with renal dysfunction and eventual issuance of yellow alert via the medical prescription system and multiprofessional evolution; And the second, with the detection of AKI using the AKIN criterion (and possible red alert issuance via a medical prescription system and multiprofessional evolution). The evaluations will be performed at admission and every 48 hours of ICU hospitalization.

Resumo: Introdução: Lesão renal aguda (LRA) é um problema de saúde que repercute diretamente nos índices de morbimortalidade de pacientes graves. Objetivo: Identificar os fatores associados à LRA em pacientes clínicos e cirúrgicos durante a hospitalização em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI). Método: Foi realizado um estudo tipo caso-controle em uma UTI geral de hospital privado do interior paulista, mediante levantamento dos registros de prontuário dos pacientes internados, no período de 2014 e 2015. Para tanto, os participantes foram divididos em quatro grupos, sendo: dois casos, constituído de pacientes clínicos e cirúrgicos que desenvolveram LRA durante hospitalização na UTI e dois controles com o mesmo perfil, mas que não desenvolveram LRA durante o período do estudo. Considerou-se LRA um aumento de 0,3 mg/dl sobre o valor basal de creatinina sérica nas primeiras 48hs de internação na UTI, conforme definição adotada na classificação AKIN (Acute Kidney Injury Network), pelo critério de creatinina. As variáveis analisadas foram: sexo, idade, raça, estado civil, dias de internação, desdobramento da hospitalização, uso de ventilação mecânica, diagnóstico de entrada, fatores de risco cardiovascular e outras comorbidades, fatores de risco nefrológicos), procedimentos realizados (vascular e contrastado), medicamentos nefrológicos/utilização de antibióticos e exames laboratoriais. Inicialmente, todas as variáveis foram analisadas descritivamente. As variáveis quantitativas foram apres... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

They are seen as an essential source of information and enable communication between health professionals ensuring continuity of quality care.

Este estudo descritivo / exploratório com análise documental, retrospectivo, utilizando o método de Estudo de Caso tem como objetivo avaliar o módulo de Gerenciamento de Unidade (PAGU) com foco no Prontuário Eletrônico do Paciente (PEP). No Complexo Hospitalar, campo de estudo, foi implantado o Sistema de Gestão Hospitalar em 2005. Iniciou-se com o levantamento da história da implantação do Sistema de Gestão Hospitalar seguindo seis fases: como primeira fase considerou-se o planejamento iniciado em 2002, seguindo para a fase de análise funcional com a determinação de rotinas, protocolos e processos operacionais; na fase de determinação de requisito avaliaram-se as necessidades da instituição em relação ao sistema, a fase do desenho e desenvolvimento foi realizada pela empresa contratada. A quinta fase constituiu-se a implementação. Como última fase considerou-se a avaliação do hardware e software realizada pelos responsáveis do Setor de Informática. Verificaram-se várias necessidades as quais foram atendidas, em parte, pela empresa contratada e outras, pelos responsáveis do setor de Informática do complexo hospitalar. O modelo proposto para avaliar o módulo PAGU baseou-se nas normas e padrões preconizados pela (ISO) International Organization for Standardization - (IEC) (International Electrotechnical Commission) 9126-4 Qualidade em uso. Para avaliar a realização das Prescrições Médica e de Enfermagem, selecionaram-se 45 e 35 usuários, respectivamente. Foram realizadas duas avaliações, sendo que entre a primeira e segunda foram implementadas melhorias que proporcionaram bons efeitos. Baseado nas normas ISO/IEC 9126-4 Qualidade em uso obtiveram-se os seguintes resultados: Métrica da Efetividade - a eficácia da tarefa realizada pelo segmento médico foi de 100% em ambas as avaliações, e 93% e 100% para o segmento Enfermeiro. Métrica de Produtividade - o tempo médio da realização da prescrição foi de 4,39 min na primeira e 6,21 min. na segunda avaliação para o usuário médico. O usuário enfermeiro obteve o resultado de 4,05 min. na primeira e 3,02 min. na segunda avaliação. O resultado da Métrica de Segurança do paciente relacionado à quantidade de itens prescritos com algum erro, pelo usuário médico, foi na primeira avaliação 1,94 e na segunda, 0,37 itens. O usuário enfermeiro resultou em 1,26 na primeira e 0,33 itens na segunda avaliação. Com respeito às falhas relacionadas à segurança, o usuário médico apresentou 1,84 itens na primeira e 0,32 itens na segunda avaliação, já o enfermeiro verificou-se 0,65 itens na primeira e 0,09 itens na segunda avaliação. Relacionado à economia obteve-se o valor de 0,13 na primeira e 0,09 itens na segunda avaliação para o usuário médico. O usuário enfermeiro obteve 0,99 itens na primeira avaliação e 0,24 na segunda. Na Métrica de Satisfação / Desempenho constatou-se o valor de 5,82 na primeira e 5,75 na segunda avaliação para o usuário médico e 5,58 na primeira e 6,41 na segunda avaliação para o usuário enfermeiro. Concluiu-se que a avaliação da realização da Prescrição, no módulo PAGU, atingiu respostas positivas na maioria das características.

This descriptive, exploratory study with retrospective document analysis aims, using case study methodology, to evaluate the Management Unit module (PAGU) focused on the Electronic Health Record (EHR). The Hospital Management System was implemented in the Hospital Complex, field of study, in 2005. It began with a survey of the history of implementation of the Hospital Management System following six phases: the planning, which started in 2002, was considered the first phase. This was followed by the functional analysis stage with the determination of routines, protocols, and operational processes. In the requirement determination phase, the needs of the institution in relation to the system were evaluated. The design and development phase was carried out by the contractor. The fifth phase consisted of implementation. As a final step we considered the evaluation of the hardware and software comprising the I.T. systems. There were several needs which were met not only by the contractor but also by the staff responsible for the hospital\'s IT department. The model proposed to evaluate the PAGU module was based on norms and standards set by the (ISO) International Organization for Standardization - (IEC) (International Electro-technical Commission) 9126-4 Quality in use. In order to evaluate the performance of Physicians\' and Nurses\' Prescriptions, we selected 45 and 35 users, respectively. Two evaluations were carried out, and between them, improvements were implemented yielding positive effects. Based on ISO / IEC 9126-4 Quality in use, the following results were found: Effectiveness Metrics - the effectiveness of tasks performed by the physicians was 100 % in both evaluations, and for the nurses 93 % and 100 %. Productivity Metrics - the average time for completion of medical prescription was 4.39 min in the first evaluation and 6.21 min in the second for the physicians. The nurses obtained results of 4.05 min in the first and 3.02 min in the second evaluation. The result of the Patient Safety Metrics in relation to the amount of items prescribed with an error, concerning the physicians, was 1.94 items in the first evaluation and 0.37 items in the second. As for the nurses, this result was 1.26 items in the first evaluation and 0.33 in the second. With respect to security-related crashes, the physicians presented 1.84 items in the first evaluation and 0.32 items in the second, while the nurses\' result was 0.65 items in the first evaluation and 0.09 items in the second. In relation to economy, the values obtained for the physicians were 0.13 items in the first evaluation and 0.09 items in the second evaluation, while for the nurses these values were 0.99 items in the first evaluation and 0.24 in the second. In the satisfaction / performance metric a value of 5.82 was found in the first and 5.75 in the second evaluation for the physicians and 5.58 in the first evaluation and 6.41 in the second evaluation for the nurses. It was concluded that the evaluation of the performance of prescription module PAGU achieved positive responses relating to the majority of characteristics. The results of this study will be used for training purposes and quality improvement. This research provides the dissemination of knowledge in health care and nursing

Na atualidade, a ileostomia em alça é indicada para a proteção de anastomoses colorretais baixas ou colo-anais ou para a proteção de anastomoses íleo-anais em intervenções cirúrgicas de proctocolectomia total com confecção de bolsa ileal no tratamento cirúrgico das doenças inflamatórias intestinais, polipose adenomatosa familiar, tumores colorretais, doença diverticular e trauma. Índices de complicações elevados observados têm posto em dúvida o uso ampliado desse tipo de estoma apoiando-se em dados da literatura que, além de controversos, são originários de estudos retrospectivos de casuísticas pequenas. Outrossim, os dados na literatura brasileira são escassos. Assim, realizou-se estudo retrospectivo sobre resultados imediatos do fechamento de ileostomia em alça no período compreendido entre de março de 1991 e março de 2001, no Serviço de Cirurgia do Cólon Reto e Ânus do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. As variáveis consideradas foram ocorrência de complicações e o estado final do paciente (sem ileostomia ou não), correlacionadas com os dados do paciente, da doença que levou à confecção do estoma, dos tratamentos médicos e cirúrgicos anteriores e do próprio procedimento cirúrgico. Os testes estatísticos empregados foram o exato de Fisher para dados pontuais, o não paramétrico de Kruskal-Wallis para os dados temporais e, ao final, análise multivariada. O nível de significância foi de 95% (p<0,05). Foram estudados os prontuários de 131 doentes. Trinta e um apresentavam-se incompletos e, juntamente com três que foram submetidos a fechamento de ileostomia com anastomose mecânica, foram excluídos deste trabalho. A condição que motivou a ileostomia foi doença inflamatória em 73 casos (75,2%), neoplasia em 14,4%, polipose adenomatosa familial em 3% e outras doenças em 7,2%. O uso de corticóides foi assim distribuído: pacientes que nunca tomaram corticóide ?32 (32.9%), que faziam uso de corticóide há menos de 12 meses - quatro casos (4,1%), que faziam uso de corticóide há mais de 12 meses? 11 casos (11.3%), que fizeram uso de corticóide e que na época do fechamento da ileostomia usavam imunossupressor ou imunomodulador - nove casos (9,2%), pacientes que já tomaram corticóide e que interromperam o uso desta droga há menos de 12 meses - 31 (31.9%), e pacientes que já tomaram corticóde mas não faziam uso da droga há mais de 12 meses - 10 (10,3%). Na análise das somatórias das operações anteriores ao fechamento da ileostomia, houve a manipulação considerada menor em 65 casos (67%), e em 32 casos (32,9%) houve maior manipulação cirúrgica prévia ao fechamento da ileostomia. O período entre a confecção e o fechamento da ileostomia teve a mediana de 27 semanas (2 a 146 semanas). Cinqüenta e três pacientes sofreram preparo intestinal anterógrado pré-operatório (54,6%), quarenta não foram submetidos a nenhum tipo de preparo intestinal (41,2%), e quatro pacientes (4,1%) receberam preparo intestinal retrógrado Empregaram-se antibióticos em 91 dos casos (93,8%), dos quais 63 (64,9%) usaram-nos por curto período e 28 casos (28,8%) tiveram seus antibióticos usados.por mais tempo. Detalhes técnicos operatórios estudados compreenderam: 1) graduação do cirurgião, com 77 casos (79,3%) operados por cirurgiões experientes, dez pacientes (10,3%) operados por cirurgiões com pós-graduação concluída no nível de mestrado, e dez (10,3%) operados por equipe formada por médicos residentes e preceptores; 2) acesso cirúrgico por incisão periestomal (93 casos? 95,8%) ou laparotomia longitudinal (quatro casos- 4,1%); 3) ressecção do segmento ileal exteriorizado (nove casos- 9,2%) ou não (88 casos- 90.7%); 4) sutura intestinal contínua (78 casos- 80,4%) ou em pontos separados (19 indivíduos- 19,5%); 5) em um plano (setenta casos- 72,1%) ou dois planos (27 casos- 27,9%); 6) o tipo de fechamento da aponeurose da parede abdominal com sutura contínua empregada em 55 casos (56,7%) e sutura em pontos separados em 42 casos (43,2%). O índice de complicações gerais foi de 40,2% - 39 casos - (29,8% de resolução clínica e 10,3% cirúrgica). A mediana do período de internação dos pacientes foi de 12 dias. Ocorreram cinco casos de deiscência ou abscesso de parede abdominal, três casos de deiscência de anastomose intestinal, um de abscesso intracavitário (drenado cirurgicamente), um de fístula estercorácea, um de estenose da anastomose íleo-anal detectada no pós-operatório, um de insuficiência renal aguda, e um último apresentou vômitos persistentes. Não houve influência do sexo, da faixa etária, da doença que originou o estoma, da manipulação cirúrgica prévia, do emprego do preparo intestinal ou não e os aspectos técnicos operatórios nos índices de complicações. O uso de sutura contínua, apesar de reduzir o tempo cirúrgico (p=0,02), esteve associado a complicações (p=0,04). Por outro lado, o fechamento da aponeurose com sutura contínua, além de reduzir o tempo operatório (p=0,002), foi associada à menor índice de complicações (p=0,002). A realimentação nas primeiras 48 horas de pós-operatório associou-se a maior índice de complicações (p=0,054). O uso crônico de corticóides correlacionou-se com menor proporção de obstrução intestinal (p=0,04). Antibióticos em uso prolongado foram mais relacionados com as complicações (p=0,0001). A análise multivariada (regressão logística) verificou a relação em proporção direta entre o período desde a confecção até o fechamento da ileostomia e a ocorrência de complicações (odds ratio=1,02) e o modo do uso de antibióticos (odds ratio=30,36 para uso prolongado). Do exposto, concluiu-se que a doença e o porte da intervenção cirúrgica que levou à realização de ileostomia em alça não tiveram influência significativa no índice de complicações; que o uso crônico de corticóides gerou menor índice de ocorrência de obstrução intestinal; que o preparo intestinal para o fechamento de ileostomia pôde ser dispensado; que a sutura intestinal contínua associou-se a maior número de complicações; que a experiência do cirurgião responsável pelo fechamento da ileostomia não determinou maior número de complicações; que o tempo decorrido entre a confecção e o fechamento da ileostomia acrescentou maior risco de complicações a cada semana, e que a decisão do cirurgião quanto ao uso prolongado de antibióticos foi correlacionada com maior ocorrência de complicações
Loop ileostomies have been commonly used for diversion of fecal stream, in order to protect low colorectal, coloanal or íleo-anal anastomosis performed for a variety of primary diseases such as colorectal cancer (CRC), inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), diverticular disease and trauma. However, high morbidity rates associated with this type of stoma have limited its wide spread use. This limitation is supported by controversial data, based mostly in retrospective studies with small number of patients. Moreover, national data on the subject is minimal. Therefore, a retrospective study was designed to determine immediate results of loop ileostomy closure in the period between March 1991 and March 2001, at the Colorectal Surgery Division of the Hospital das Clínicas University of São Paulo Medical School. Primary end-points included perioperative complication occurrence and final patient status (ileostomy-free or not). These events were correlated to patient demographic data, primary disease requiring loop ileostomy, previous medical treatment, previous operations and loop ileostomy closure characteristics. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher\'s exact test for categorical variables, Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test for temporal variables and multivariate analysis. P values of 0.05 or less were considered significant. One hundred and thirty-one patient\'s records were reviewed. Thirty-one patients with unavailable hospital records and three patients managed by mechanical stapled ileostomy closure technique were excluded from the study. Primary disease requiring loop ileostomy construction was IBD in 75.2%, CRC in 14.4%, FAP in 3% and others in 7.2% of the cases. Steroid use was classified into patients that have never used - 32 cases (32.9%), patients that have used only within the last 12 months - 4 cases (4.1%), patients that have used for more than 12 months - 11 cases (11.3%), patients that have used but are now under immunosupressors or immunomodulators - 9 cases (9.2%), patients that have used but are currently off steroids for less than 12 months - 31 cases (31.9%) and patients that have used but are currently off steroids for more than 12 months - 10 cases (10.3%). Previous operations included 4-quadrant procedures in 65 cases (67%) and five or more quadrants (multiple procedures) in 32 cases (32.9%). Median interval between stoma creation and closure was 27 weeks (ranging from 2 to 146 weeks). Fifty-three patients underwent preoperative anterograde mechanical bowel preparation (54,6%), forty underwent no specific preoperative bowel preparation (41.2%) and 4 underwent retrograde mechanical bowel preparation (4.1%). Perioperative antibiotic administration was performed in 91 patients (93.8%). Short-term antibiotic use (less than or up to 72hs) occurred in 63 patients (64.9%) while long-term antibiotic use (more than 72hs) occurred in 28 cases (28.8%). Technical variables included: surgeon?s experience, being 77 cases managed by experienced surgeons (79.3%), 10 cases (10.3%) by surgeons with intermediate experience (post-graduate level) and 10 cases by colorectal surgery residents or fellows (10.3%); access strategy including peri-stomal incision in 93 cases (95.8%) and longitudinal mid-line laparotomy in 4 cases (4.1%); resection of an ileal segment in 9 cases (9.2%) or non-resection in 88 cases (90.7%); continuous intestinal suture line in 78 cases (80.4%) or interrupted suture in 19 cases (19.5%); single suture layer in 70 cases (72.1%) or two-layer suture in 27 cases (27.9%); and type of primary aponeurotic layer closure, being continuous suture in 55 cases (56.7%) and interrupted suture in 42 cases (43.2%). Overall complication rate was 40.2% (39 patients) requiring medical management in 29.8% and surgical management in 10.3% of the cases. Median hospital stay period was 12 days. Complications included wound dehiscence or abscess in five patients, intestinal suture dehiscence in three, an intraperitoneal abscess (surgically drained) in one, a stercoracic fistulae in one, an ileo-anal anastomosis stenosis in one, acute renal insufficiency in one and persistent emesis in one patient. There was no correlation between gender, age, primary disease, previous operations or bowel preparation and complication occurrence. Regarding technical characteristics, continuous intestinal suture was associated with shorter duration of surgery (p=0.02) and with higher rates of complication (p=0.04). On the other hand, continuous aponeurotic layer closure was associated with shorter duration of surgery (p=0.002) but also with decreased complication rates (p=0.002). Early oral food intake (first 48 hours from operation) was associated with higher complication rates (p=0.054). Chronic steroid use was associated with lower risk of post-operative small bowel obstruction (SBO) development (p=0.04). Long-term antibiotic administration was associated with increased complication rates (p=0.0001). Multivariate analysis (logistic regression) revealed a correlation in direct proportion between interval period (stoma creation-closure) and complication occurrence (odds ratio=1.02). Also, a same correlation was observed for antibiotic use pattern (long-term vs short-term) and complication occurrence (odds ratio=30.36 for long-term). In conclusion, primary disease or operation requiring loop ileostomy creation was not associated with complication occurrence; chronic steroid use may have a protective effect on post-operative SOB development; mechanical bowel preparation may be unnecessary; continuous intestinal suture was associated with higher complication rates; surgeon?s experience was not associated with complication occurrence; greater interval between ileostomy creation and closure is associated with increased risk of complication occurrence; and surgeon\'s intention to long-term use of antibiotics is also associated with increased complication rates

Access to Civil Registration of Birth gives citizenship and identity, identity of belonging, inclusion, not only with regard to access to public policy, but also how to be right with name, surname and family. Brazil has high underreporting, ie, many children are not civilly registered in the Civil Registry offices until the first 45 days of life. This research aims to assess the general state Eradication Project Sub-birth Records, more specifically identify the interested motives discharge of newborn infants without birth in the civil registry of maternal care - child General Hospital Dr. César Cals, in Fortaleza, but also identify the constraints and potentials of the Service Unit Linked - IU instance created to allow access to the Civil Registration of Birth for all children born in the maternity ward and was discharged with his birth certificate. The research, qualitative analyzes of bibliographic information result, documentary and interviews. The subjects participating in this study correspond to two categories: professionals of that hospital linked to the Service Birth Records and mothers whose deliveries occurred in the unit studied. As results of the fieldwork, when the questionnaires were applied to guide the interviews conducted with these three groups, the case study showed that education, age, marital status, occupation and place of residence are common elements between the mothers interviewed, as well as vulnerability and social risk. Twenty-seven percent reported problems with the recognition of paternity of their children as a justification for not adhering to the services provided by the Hospital to the Civil Registration of Birth. As for the professionals interviewed identified the fact that 42% are social workers, 25% nurses or doctors and 17% allowed scribes. Despite the involvement and commitment of these professionals, there is need for wider dissemination throughout the hospital environment for socialization and access, especially for the case of a hospital that performs prenatal risk.
O acesso ao Registro Civil de Nascimento proporciona cidadania e identidade. Identidade de pertença, de inclusão, não só no que diz respeito ao acesso às políticas públicas, mas também enquanto ser de direito, com nome, sobrenome e com família. O Registro Civil de Nascimento é necessário para o pleno exercício da cidadania. O Brasil possui um alto índice de sub-registro, ou seja, muitas crianças não são registradas civilmente nos ofícios de registro civil até os primeiros 45 dias de vida. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo geral, avaliar o Projeto Estadual de Erradicação do Sub-Registro Civil de Nascimento. Mais especificamente interessa identificar os motivos da alta hospitalar de crianças recém-nascidas sem Registro Civil de Nascimento no atendimento materno infantil, do Hospital Geral Dr. César Cals, em Fortaleza, como também identificar as restrições e potencialidades do Serviço da Unidade Interligada - UI, instância criada para viabilizar o acesso ao Registro Civil de Nascimento à todas as crianças nascidas na maternidade, tendo alta hospitalar com sua Certidão de Nascimento. A pesquisa, de caráter qualitativo, analisa informações resultado de estudo bibliográfico, documental e de entrevistas. Os sujeitos participantes deste estudo correspondem a duas categorias: os profissionais da referida unidade hospitalar vinculados ao Serviço de Registro Civil de Nascimento e as mães cujos partos ocorreram na Unidade pesquisada.

A informação coletada de prontuários manuais ou eletrônicos, quando usada para propósitos não diretamente relacionados ao atendimento do paciente, é chamado de uso secundário de dados. A adoção de um sistema de registro eletrônico em saúde (RES) pode facilitar a coleta de dados para uso secundário em pesquisa, aproveitando as melhorias na estruturação e recuperação da informação do paciente, recursos não disponíveis nos tradicionais prontuários em papel. Estudos observacionais baseados no uso secundário de dados têm o potencial de prover evidências para a construção de políticas em saúde. No entanto, a pesquisa através desses dados apresenta problemas característicos a essa fonte de dados. Ao longo do tempo, os sistemas e seus métodos de armazenar dados se tornam obsoletos ou são reestruturados, existem questões de privacidade para o compartilhamento dos dados dos indivíduos e questões relacionadas ao uso desses dados em um contexto diferente do seu propósito original. É necessária uma abordagem sistemática para contornar esses problemas, onde o processamento dos dados é efetuado antes do seu compartilhamento. O objetivo desta Tese é propor um método de extração de coortes de pacientes para estudos observacionais contemplando quatro etapas: (1) mapeamento: a reorganização de dados a partir de um esquema lógico existente em um esquema externo comum sobre o qual é aplicado o método; (2) limpeza: preparação dos dados, levantamento do perfil da base de dados e cálculo dos indicadores de qualidade; (3) seleção da coorte: aplicação dos parâmetros do estudo para seleção de dados longitudinais dos pacientes para a formação da coorte; (4) transformação: derivação de variáveis de estudo que não estão presentes nos dados originais e transformação dos dados longitudinais em dados anonimizados prontos para análise estatística e compartilhamento. O mapeamento é uma etapa específica para cada RES e não é objeto desse trabalho, mas foi realizada para a aplicação do método. As etapas de limpeza, seleção de coorte e transformação são comuns para qualquer RES. A utilização de um esquema externo possibilita o uso parâmetros que facilitam a extração de diferentes coortes para diferentes estudos sem a necessidade de alterações nos algoritmos e garante que a extração seja efetuada sem perda de informações por um processo idempotente. A geração de indicadores e a análise estatística fazem parte do processo e permitem descrever o perfil e qualidade da base de dados e os resultados do estudo. Os algoritmos computacionais e os dados são disponibilizados em um repositório versionado e podem ser usados a qualquer momento para reproduzir os resultados, permitindo a verificação, alterações e correções de erros. Este método foi aplicado no RES utilizado no Instituto do Coração - HC FMUSP, considerando uma base de dados de 1.116.848 pacientes cadastrados no período de 1999 até 2013, resultando em 312.469 registros de pacientes após o processo de limpeza. Para efetuar uma análise da doença cardiovascular em relação ao uso de estatinas na prevenção secundária de eventos evolutivos, foi constituída uma coorte de 27.915 pacientes, segundo os seguintes critérios: período de 2003 a 2013, pacientes do gênero masculino e feminino, maiores de 18 anos, com um diagnóstico no padrão CID-10 (códigos I20 a I25, I64 a I70 e G45) e com registro de no mínimo duas consultas ambulatoriais. Como resultados, cerca de 80% dos pacientes tiveram registro de estatinas, sendo que, 30% tiveram registro de estatinas por mais de 5 anos, 42% não tiveram registro de nenhum evento evolutivo e 9,7% tiveram registro de dois ou mais eventos. O tempo médio de sobrevida calculado pelo método Kaplan-Meier foi de 115 meses (intervalo de confiança 95% 114-116) e os pacientes sem registro de estatinas apresentaram uma maior probabilidade de óbito pelo teste log-rank p < 0,001. Conclui-se que a adoção de métodos sistematizados para a extração de coortes de pacientes a partir do RES pode ser uma abordagem viável para a condução de estudos epidemiológicos
Information collected from manual or electronic health records can also be used for purposes not directly related to patient care delivery, in which case it is termed secondary use. The adoption of electronic health record (EHR) systems can facilitate the collection of this secondary use data, which can be used for research purposes such as observational studies. These studies have the power to provide necessary evidence for the formation of healthcare policies. However, several problems arise when conducting research using this kind of data. For example, over time, systems and their methods of storing data become obsolete, data concerns arise since the data is being used in a different context to where it originated and privacy concerns arise when sharing data about individual subjects. To overcome these problems a systematic approach is required where local data processing is performed prior to data sharing. The objective of this thesis is to propose a method to extract patient cohorts for observational studies in four steps: (1) data mapping from an existing local logical schema into a common external schema over which information can be extracted; (2) cleaning of data, generation of the database profile and retrieval of indicators; (3) computation of derived variables from original variables; (4) application of study design parameters to transform longitudinal data into anonymized data sets ready for statistical analysis and sharing. Mapping is a specific stage for each EHR and although it is not the focus of this work, a detail of the mapping is included. The stages of cleaning, selection of cohort and transformation are common to all EHRs and form the main objective. The use of an external schema allows the use of parameters that facilitate the extraction of different cohorts for different studies without the need for changes to the extraction algorithms. This ensures that, given an immutable dataset, the extraction can be done by the idempotent process. The generation of indicators and statistical analysis form part of the process and allow profiling and qualitative description of the database. The set extraction / statistical processing is available in a version controlled repository and can be used at any time to reproduce results, allowing the verification of alterations and error corrections. The method was applied to EHR from the Heart Institute - HC FMUSP, with a dataset containing 1,116,848 patients\' records from 1999 up to 2013, resulting in 312,469 patients records after the cleaning process. An analysis of cardiovascular disease in relation to statin use in the prevention of secondary events was defined using a cohort selection of 27,915 patients with the following criteria: study period: 2003-2013, gender: Male, Female, age: >= 18 years old, at least 2 outpatient visits, diagnosis of CVD (ICD-10 codes: I20-I25, I64-I70 and G45). Results showed that around 80% of patients had a prescription for statins, of which 30% had a prescription for statins for more than 5 years. 42% had no record of a future event and 9,7% had two or more future events. Survival time was measured using a univariate Kaplan-Meier method resulting in 115 months (CI 95% 114-116) and patients without statin prescription showed a higher probability of death when measured by log-rank (p < 0.001) tests. The conclusion is that the adoption of systematised methods for cohort extraction of patients from EHRs can be a viable approach for conducting epidemiological studies
