Metodologia adotada pela Secretaria de Estado da Saúde do Estado de São Paulo para avaliação dos hospitais administrados por organizações sociais de saúde na região metropolitana de São Paulo

O tema central deste estudo é descrever e analisar a metodologia de avaliação adotada pela Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de São Paulo para avaliar os hospitais administrados por Organizações Sociais de Saúde (OSS), localizados na região metropolitana de São Paulo. O objetivo é descrever e analisar as dimensões selecionadas pela CGCSS – Coordenadoria de Gestão de Contratos de Serviços de Saúde e identificar os indicadores e as informaçoes geradas pelas OSS e encaminhadas rotineiramente para a CGCSS, além das ações tomadas em relação ao resultado dos indicadores e metas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, exploratória e descritiva, sendo analisados documentos técnicos e realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com técnicos da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de São Paulo e com integrantes da Comissão de Avaliação da Execução dos Contratos de Gestão das Organizações Sociais. Conclui-se que a metodologia de avaliação de desempenho da OSS atende ao disposto na legislação estadual constante na lei nº 846/98, por meio do controle dos indicadores acordados previamente. Porém, a metodologia carece de indicadores capazes de avaliar a qualidade do serviço e o uso dos recursos financeiros. Um dos fatores relevantes em relação à pesquisa foi a falta de acesso aos dados, o que constitui a falta de publicização dos dados, por parte da SES/SP. Porém com a ajuda de alguns membros da comissão foi possível o acesso tardio, por entenderem ser informações públicas.

Aplicação do Modelo SERVQUAL para a Avaliação da Qualidade e Satisfação dos Clientes: Caso Caixa de Crédito Agrícola Mútuo

A qualidade dos serviços é um campo de estudo organizacional que tem evoluído de forma exponencial nos últimos anos, facto este que vem no seguimento do aumento concorrencial e da atual instabilidade económica existente no país. Assim, dada a constante dificuldade de se agradar à totalidade dos clientes e à elevada intangibilidade associada aos serviços, torna-se fundamental as organizações desenvolverem mecanismos que permitam avaliar e medir a qualidade associada aos serviços prestados. Posto isto, inserido no âmbito do estágio curricular realizado, desenvolveu-se um estudo para se avaliar, de forma quantitativa, a qualidade dos serviços prestados, bem como a satisfação dos clientes da Caixa de Crédito Agrícola Mútuo do Noroeste, através de um questionário online, baseado na escala SERVQUAL (escala que avalia a qualidade dos serviços de acordo com cinco dimensões – tangibilidade, fiabilidade, capacidade de resposta, segurança e empatia). Com este estudo, constatou-se que apenas a dimensão tangibilidade apresenta expetativas inferiores às perceções tidas pelos clientes, enquanto as restantes dimensões apresentam valores superiores nas expetativas em relação às perceções. Salienta-se neste ponto a diferença pouco significativa, na dimensão empatia.

Avaliação do desempenho na Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP)- Estudo de caso do Comando Distrital da PSP de Braga

Com esta dissertação pretende-se estudar o modelo de avaliação de desempenho existente na Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP), a nível central e a nível do Comando Distrital da PSP de Braga, bem como a forma como ambos os modelos se articulam.Tendo em conta a revisão de literatura efetuada, constata-se que a avaliação de desempenho tem vindo a assumir um papel importante na Polícia, sendo útil para melhorar os serviços prestados,apoiar na tomada de decisões, responsabilizar os gestores e prestar contas à sociedade. A literatura refere ainda que a Polícia é um serviço difícil de avaliar devido à diversidade de atividades que esta desenvolve e à dificuldade em aferir a segurança dos cidadãos e a redução da criminalidade.Para se perceber o modelo de avaliação existente na PSP propõe-se fazer um estudo de caso,através de entrevistas, contando com a colaboração do Diretor Nacional Adjunto da Unidade Orgânica de Recursos Humanos, do 2º Comandante Distrital do Comando Distrital de Braga e do Diretor do Gabinete de Estudos e Planeamento da Direção Nacional da PSP.Neste estudo verifica-se que o modelo de avaliação de desempenho da PSP é um modelo centralizado uma vez que é a Direção Nacional (DN) da PSP que define os objetivos estratégicos, os objetivos operacionais, os indicadores e as metas para todo o seu universo. Os resultados desta avaliação são apresentados no Relatório de Atividades da PSP. A nível central também é utilizado o Sistema Integrado de Gestão e Avaliação de Desempenho na Administração Pública – Quadro de Avaliação e Responsabilidades (SIADAP – QUAR). Por outro lado, ao nível do Comando Distrital de Braga verifica-se que não existe um modelo de avaliação de desempenho. Estes recebem a informação sobre os objetivos operacionais, os indicadores e as metas a atingir estabelecidas pela DN, que tentam cumprir num determinado período e no final comunicam-lhes os resultados. A DN agrega todos os resultados a nível Nacional e faz a avaliação global do desempenho da PSP.O estudo mostra ainda que há uma forte predisposição para a implementação de um modelo de avaliação de desempenho baseado na metodologia Balanced Scorecard (BSC), por este ser considerado um modelo eficaz, com larga utilização a nível mundial e com bons resultados alcançados. Atualmente a DN já define o seu quadro estratégico baseado nas quatro perspetivas do BSC: perspetiva do cliente, perspetiva financeira, perspetiva dos processos internos e perspetiva da aprendizagem. Contudo, até ao momento não são apresentados os resultados desta avaliação de acordo com o modelo BSC. Conclui-se, por isso, que o modelo de avaliação existente na PSP é um modelo extremamente centralizado na DN, sendo reduzido o envolvimento dos Comandos Distritais neste processo.

Avaliação da estrutura e processo de trabalho dos centros de atenção psicossocial

Objective: Evaluate the work structure and process in Psychos ocial Care Centers (CAPS) and the professionals profile, the satisfaction, conditions and work overload. Methods: Cross - sectional study conducted in five CAPS in Campina Grande city. The study sample consisted of five coordinators, 42 graduate professional s, 26 mid - level (technical and auxiliary nurses, and caregivers), and the medical records pertaining to 413 users followed up. Data were collected using validated questionnaires (CAPSUL - rating CAPS in southern Brazil) and adapted to the study, between July and October 2014. The questionnaires were double entered and submitted to validation in the sub - program “Validate Epi Info 3.5.4” , used along with the “SPSS 17.0” for processing the statistical analyzes. Measures of central tendency and dispersion were ap plied to the descriptive analyzes; “Fisher's” exact test to check the CAPS impact on hospital admissions and the “Bonferroni” adjusted to verify the diagnoses according to sex. 5% significance level was adopted. The study was approved by the Ethics Committ ee of the Rio Grande do Norte Federal University (UFRN), protocol 719.435, of 05.30.2014. Results: From the structure analysis were identified contextual factors that influenced the work process of CAPS professionals, such as: deficiencies with regard to h uman resources; forms of health professionals employment and qualifications; temporary contract existence. As to process dimension, it was found that the home visits performance by health professionals shows to be ineffective, given its insufficiency and i rregularity, which can be explained by the high demand, reduced staff and transportation lack. It was low coverage of items inherent to Therapeutic Individual Project, as the income generation program, insertion at work and home visit. The reference and co unter reference flow are still not satisfactorily organized. There was statistically significant difference for the diagnosis, with a predominance of mood disorders related to stress among women and those related to alcohol and other drugs among men (p <0. 05). There was an association between the degree of health professionals satisfaction and working conditions, overload and factors related to the content and working conditions, the security measures, comfort and CAPS appearance, contact between the teams and users, families treatment by the teams, temporary employment relationship. Conclusion: The data collected indicate the need for the CAPS organization through increased investments in the sector in order to enhance the infrastructure as potentiating el ement of practices with a view to changing the care model for mental health proposed by the Psychiatric Reform. It is hoped therefore that this research will contribute to better planning in CAPS unit management, with another tool to improve the dimensions involving the structure and the professional work process and improve this mental health care model.

Avaliação da atenção humanizada ao abortamento em maternidade-escola, em Natal, Rio Grande do Norte

Unplanned pregnancy is experienced by millions of women worldwide. Such fact increases the risk of abortion-related morbimortality, which represents a serious public health problem. This study aims to evaluate the advances and challenges of the implementation of Humanized Abortion Care at the Maternity-School in Natal, state of Rio Grande do Norte. The research was evaluative, was preceded by an Evaluative Study, and resulted in a Case Study. The intentional sample totaled 102 subjects (60 users, 39 professionals and 3 managers). The collection techniques included documental analysis, semi-structured interview and observation with a field diary. The documental analysis was descriptive, while the Content Analysis by Bardin was used for semi-structured interviews and field diary. The Evaluative Study observed that Humanized Abortion Care is an evaluative program with preparation and pact of the logical model, of the matrix of indicators and evaluative questions. The Case Study showed that users were satisfied with the problem-solving capacity and access to the service; however, is also showed that they pointed out inadequacy in terms of environment, qualified hearing and reproductive planning. Professionals reported that the inefficiency of service consists of infrastructure and environment, which are considered inefficient and inadequate to humanized care, especially regarding patient accommodation, the lack of hospital beds, the reduced number of rooms in the surgical center and the lack of laboratory inside the maternity. Moreover, reproductive planning does not consist of an institutionalized practice in the service, and integrality with other services or partnership with the community is not in place. The Maternity Board emphasizes that the excessive demand of patients is one of the reasons that hinders the appropriate implementation of the technical standard. We then conclude that although satisfied regarding problem-solving capacity in terms of service and ease of access, there is room for improvement in qualified hearing systems, in the creation of a system to promote team work, implementation of ombudsman and satisfaction surveys. The right of shared choice did not prevail among users and health professionals with regard to the option of uterine evacuation procedure. Environment was the most mentioned category as that requiring more changes, seeing as a limited factor for the development of humanized and welcoming practices. Health professionals do not establish a periodic routine of planning practices, and such practices are not aligned with the Technical Standard. Incorporation of guidelines and availability of a plurality of methods and possibilities of choices for family planning are required. There is no institutionalization of reference and counter-reference, or partnerships with the community, which makes integrality of care not viable. The Standard needs to be included in the action plans of managers as one of the priorities in the construction of care strategies for women's health, in order to enable, allied to other initiatives, the real integration among safe conduct service, primary care network and social organizations. As a result, respect for human rights and adequate humanized care, as a way of attention and prevention of abortion, can be secured.

Saúde bucal no Programa Saúde da Família: uma avaliação do modelo assistencial

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a incorporação da saúde bucal no Programa Saúde da Família no Rio Grande do Norte, com base na análise de fatores capazes de interferir no processo de mudança dos modelos assistenciais em saúde bucal. Esta avaliação tomou como referência três dimensões: o acesso, a organização do trabalho e as estratégias de programação. Foram sorteados 19 municípios no estado. Os instrumentos de coleta foram a entrevista estruturada aplicada a gestores e dentistas, a observação estruturada e a pesquisa documental. Foi possível identificar precariedade nas relações de trabalho e dificuldades no referenciamento para média e alta complexidade, na intersetorialidade, no diagnóstico epidemiológico e na avaliação das ações. A maioria dos municípios apresentou pouco ou nenhum avanço no modelo assistencial em saúde bucal. Os municípios que demonstraram avanços apresentaram alta expectativa de vida ao nascer, baixas taxas de mortalidade infantil, valores per capita entre os mais altos do Estado e altos valores de IDH-M. Concluiu-se que políticas públicas que contemplam aspectos além dos pertinentes ao setor saúde são decisivas para uma real mudança nos modelos assistenciais.

Avaliação do cuidado de enfermagem na perspectiva da segurança do paciente em unidades de terapia intensiva: na visão de profissionais, pacientes e familiares

Technological advances combined with healthcare assistance bring increased risks related to patient safety, causing health institutions to be environments susceptible to losses in the provided care. Sectors of high complexity, such as Intensive Care Units have such characteristics highlighted due to being spaces designed for the care of patients in serious medical condition, when the use of advanced technological devices becomes a necessity. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess nursing care from the perspective of patient safety in intensive care units. This is an evaluative research, which combines various forms of data collection and analysis in order to conduct a deepened investigation. Data collection occurred in loco, from April to July 2014 in hospitals equipped with adult intensive care unit services. For this, a checklist instrument and semi-structured interviews conducted with patients, families, professionals were used in order to evaluate the structure-process-outcome triad. The instrument for nursing care assessment regarding Patient Safety included 97 questions related to structure and processes. Interviews provided data for outcome analysis. The selection of interviewees/participants was based on the willingness of potential participants. The following methods were used to collect data resulting from the instrument: statistical analysis of inter-rater reliability measure known as kappa (K); observations from judges resulting from the observation process; and added information obtained from the literature on the thematic. Data analysis from the interviews was carried out with IRAMUTEQ software, which used Descending Hierarchical Classification and Similarity analysis to aid in data interpretation. Research steps followed the ethical principles presented by Resolution No. 466 of December 12, 2012, and the results were presented in three manuscripts: 1) Evaluation of patient safety in Intensive Care Units: a focus on structure; 2) Health evaluation processes: a nursing care perspective on patient safety; 3) Patient safety in intensive care units: perception of nurses, family members and patients. The first article, related to the structure, refers to the use of 24 items of the employed instrument, showing that most of the findings were not aligned with the adequacy standards, which indicates poor conditions in structures offered in health services. The second article provides an analysis of the pillar of Processes, with the use of 73 items of the instrument, showing that 50 items did not meet the required standards for safe handling due to the absence of adequate scientific guidance and effective communication in nursing care process. For the third article, results indicate that intensive care units were safe places, yet urges for changes, especially in the physical structure and availability of materials and communication among professionals, patients and families. Therefore, our findings suggest that the nursing care being provided in the evaluated intensive care units contains troubling shortcomings with regards to patient safety, thereby evidencing an insecure setting for the assistance offered, in addition to a need for urgent measures to remedy the identified inadequacies with appropriate structures and implement protocols and care guidelines in order to consolidate an environment more favorable to patient safety.

Avaliação de qualidade da unidade de diálise no Hospital Universitário Onofre Lopes - HUOL

Over the years there has been a broader definition of the term health. At the same time it was found also an evolution of the concept of health care which in turn has led to changes in the approach to delivery of health services and hence in its management. In this regard, currently the nephrology services have been searching for quality technical and social need. In view of these innovations and the quest for quality, it elaborated the general objective: to develop a quality assessment protocol for dialysis service Onofre Lopes University Hospital. It is an intervention project effected through an action research, which consisted of 4 steps. Initially was identified through a literature search in scientific literature, which quality indicators would apply to a dialysis unit being selected as follows: infection rate in hemodialysis access site, microbiological control of water used for hemodialysis and Index User satisfaction. Through critical reflection on the theme researched in the previous step, it was drawn up three data collection instruments, interview form type, applied between the months of October and November 2015. In addition to the information obtained, also made up of the use of information retrieval technique. The results were organized in graphs and tables and analyzed using qualitative and exploratory technical approach. Then a reflective analysis of the data obtained and the diagnosis of reality studied was traced and confronted with the literature was performed. The data produced in this study revealed that the Dialysis Unit of HUOL is much to be desired, considering that some weaknesses have been identified in its structure. Faced with this finding have been proposed, as a contribution and aiming to guide the development of future actions, suggestions for improvement that should be implemented and monitored to be assured overcoming these difficulties, allowing an appropriate organizational restructuring, and resulting in improved service public offered. It was concluded that for hemodialysis treatment results are achieved and positive, it is necessary to have physical structure and adequate infrastructure, multidisciplinary team specialized, trained and in sufficient quantity, well designed processes for professionals to have standards to be followed decreasing the chance to err, and a risk management system to detect and control situations that endanger patient safety.

Proposta de um sistema de avaliação de desempenho para o Restaurante Universitário da UFRN

The aim of this study was to propose a Performance Evaluation System for outsourced employees of the University Restaurant of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte to supply the lack of evaluative instruments. According to Provision of Services Contract nº050/2010 and nº055/2011 of FURN with SAFE LOCAÇÃO DE MÃO DE OBRA LTDA ME, it is the hired company to promote periodic functional performance evaluation of the outsourced employees, but this is not done. The performance evaluation process serves to evaluate if the employees are making their tasks according to the organizations’ objectives and goals, besides that helps to find service failures and capacity of employees demands, thus contributing to improve work conditions and the global performance of the organizations. To elaborate the proposal of evaluation, it was chosen an action research with the participation of all stakeholders, employees and managers from UR. On data collect, first, outsourced employees and management servers were interviewed, in order to raise existing perceptions about performance evaluation aspects. From these data and the work routine observation, a proposal of performance evaluation was elaborated, that was appreciated, criticized and adjusted by the actors involved (employees and managers) to the final formulation of the instrument. This study also presents the necessary steps to the implementation of the Performance Evaluation System. The proposed Performance Evaluation System can be applied to the FURN assuming this process, after modification of contract terms and the approval by the ADCON. It also can serve as an example to others units that works with the provision of outsourced services, enabling so the performance evaluation to be part of the management policy of all people working in FURN.
