Sistemas de informação em saúde: projeto de um prontuário eletrônico para técnicos em enfermagem

Abstract

In recent years, the digitalization of healthcare processes has become essential for ensuring more efficient and safer patient care. One of the key advancements in this transformation is the adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHR), which replace paper-based records and facilitate communication among healthcare professionals. This study aimed to develop a prototype of an EHR system specifically designed for nursing technicians, using the AppSheet platform. The system, called ePront, seeks to centralize clinical information, reduce medical errors, and optimize the workflow of these professionals. To achieve this goal, a no-code platform approach was adopted, allowing the system to be developed without requiring advanced programming skills. The development of ePront followed a structured process, including planning, requirements gathering, implementation, and testing with fictional data. The implemented features include nursing note registration, vital signs monitoring, invasive procedure form completion, digital shift handover, and infusion pump tracking. After testing, adjustments were made to improve usability, reorganizing the interface and optimizing data visualization. The results demonstrated that ePront has the potential to enhance efficiency and safety in hospital care, reducing the likelihood of errors and streamlining the workflow of nursing technicians. The organization and centralization of information provide greater agility in decision-making, ensuring more precise patient care. Although the system has not yet been implemented in a real environment, the tests indicate that its adoption could bring significant benefits to the digitalization of nursing processes.
