Effectiveness of an algorithm to identify early clinical deterioration in adult inpatient units
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of an algorithm for early identification of clinical deterioration in adult inpatient units. Method: Retrospective cohort study conducted in a philanthropic hospital in northern of the State of Paraná. The study analyzed the trend of indicators related to productivity, production, and quality. It adopted an alpha error of 5%. Results: The production indicators showed a decreasing trend in the occupancy rate, both of the beds destined for elective treatments and those reserved for urgency, and an increasing trend in the absolute number of hospitalizations and the number of patients per day. The productivity indicators showed a steady trend in the bed renewal index. Regarding quality, there was a predominance of increasing trend in all rates (infection, sepsis, and mortality). Conclusion: The results showed that the algorithm was effective since there was an improvement in production indicators, which showed a decreasing trend in the occupancy rate, both in elective and emergency beds, and productivity indicators, where there was a stationary trend in the bed renewal index.
