Comunicação efetiva para a segurança do paciente: nota de transferência e Modified Early Warning Score

“…In May one of the months with the highest occupancy rate in the Emergency Department, this percentage doubled its average value, reaching 4%. Patient safety is weakened when necessary patient information is not transferred (13) . Correct communication techniques, with pre-structured protocols, are the basis for the promotion of a patient safety culture.…”

“…MEWS equal to four may be a predictor of clinical severity, mortality, the type of transport the patient needs and the use of ICU resources (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) . It is known that, daily, nursing is more closely related to the patient, being able to observe small changes in its clinical picture.…”

“…A higher MEWS score correlates with a higher risk of in-hospital death, cardiorespiratory arrest (CRP), and physiological deterioration, which also correlates with the increased need for hospitalization in intensive care units and longer hospital stays (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) , and survival after cardiac arrest was associated with low MEWS values at hospital admission (15) .…”

“…Studies have shown an increase in ICU admissions for early identification of this need, as well as the decrease in deaths due to CRP after adherence to the protocol in health services, as well as evidence of benefits in identifying poor prognosis (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) . For the medical team, the calculated MEWS shows in real time, through the graph of observations, the clinical decline of the user, even when the patient is not at the bedside.…”
