Gestión de riesgos de eventos adversos en una maternidad

Investigación - acción con siete profesionales de enfermería dada su capilaridad expresiva en el servicio. El período de estudio fue de enero de 2020 a febrero de 2021. El campo de estudio fue una maternidad pública, en la que se realizó un diagnóstico situacional de eventos adversos y se aplicó un cuestionario a los empleados. En los talleres de trabajos temáticos, se aplicaron herramientas de mejora de la calidad para identificar las causas fundamentales de los eventos adversos. Se agruparon y analizaron informes similares.

Resultados:

Fueron identificados con la gestión de riesgos las causas fundamentales de los eventos adversos relacionados con la identificación de pacientes, caídas y prescripción, uso y administración de medicamentos.

Consideraciones finales:

Se observaron debilidades en muchos campos que apoyan los eventos adversos. La institución debe adoptar inversiones consistentes y atención colectiva. El estudio está en curso.
