Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: to produce technology that promotes safe hospital care in catastrophic situations. Method: an applied study carried out in a public hospital located in Brazil's Midwest region, between September 2020 and August 2021, using Soft Design Science Research in seven stages: outlining the problem, with descriptive analysis of hospital indicators; explaining the problem as a specific set of requirements, through the application of scales with 108 health professionals and 75 nursing staff, and descriptive and inferential analysis; generalizing the problem, through a scope review to systematize a class of problems; structuring the components of the solution through a workshop guided by design thinking; comparing the specific problem and general requirements to align the solution; defining the solution; building the solution. Results: immersion in the problem revealed outcomes that heralded the worsening of patients' health conditions and the negative perception of workers and managers regarding the safety climate in catastrophic situations, accentuated by the nursing team's dissatisfaction with the support offered by the organization. The projection of this scenario was essential for the systematization of security-enhancing solutions already produced for this purpose, and for carrying out design-oriented experiments in alignment, structuring, prototyping and iteration of the prototype built. Conclusion: a Rapid Response Team has been set up which, in catastrophic situations, makes it possible to intervene when the patient's clinical condition worsens, which helps to increase the survival rate and promotes safety.
