Resumo: | INTRODUCTION: The quality of the maternal health service can be measured by the
technical-scientific dimension, defined by professional competence and the use of good
evidence. The Maternal Early Warning Score (MEWS) is an instrument based on changes in
vital signs that allows detecting the clinical worsening of the hospitalized patient, intervening
early and decreasing maternal morbidity. OBJECTIVE: To implement MEWS as a tool to
improve health care for women in a referral service. OBJECTIVE: To implement MEWS as
a tool to improve health care for women in a referral service. METHOD: It is an almost
experimental study, non-controlled and before-after type, ruled in improve quality
principles. Happened in Maternidade Escola Januário Cicco (MEJC), linked to Universidade
Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) and managed by statal Empresa Brasileira de
Serviços Hospitalares (EBSERH). The target population was composed of 455 professionals
and women admitted to the maternity unit during the period studied. The implementation of
MEWS took place in five stages, covering presentation, flowchart creation, software
development, training and monitoring of vital signs. Retrospective data collection performed
on 6,969 electronic medical records, from September / 2019 to August / 2020. Data analysis
was descriptive and inferential, with the calculation of absolute and relative improvements,
using the “z” test, considering the p-value <0.05, to verify significance. RESULTS: The
“PANEL MEWS” software bringed benefits to data compilation and may possible an
improvement cycle for vital sign gauging, provided significant improvement with the training
of 30.7% of professionals and showing a relative improvement of 35% in the measurement of
respiratory rate, 45% in heart rate, 20% in temperature and 34% in the measurement of all
vital signs. CONCLUSION: The participation of TI was fundamental in the creation of the
panel for the compilation of data, enabling the application of the improvement cycle
throughout MEJC in the gauging of vital signs. The COVID - 19 pandemic caused many
withdrawals and suspension of educational activities, jeopardizing the continuity of these
effective interventions. The implementation process showed itself very challenger to need
participation of many actors, of equipments for view of panel by professionals and effective
implementation of MEWS to enable decreased severe morbidity in the MEJC. |
