Autoavaliação hospitalar e o gerenciamento do risco sanitário em unidades hospitalares da rede estadual da Bahia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the results of hospital self-assessment for health risk management in hospitals with Intensive Care Units (ICUs) in the state network of Bahia. Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are one of the most common adverse events and represent a serious public health challenge, as they increase morbidity, mortality, and costs, in addition to compromising patient safety and the quality of health services. Hospital self-assessment allows for a situational diagnosis, assisting in the identification of strengths, weaknesses, and non-conformities, being crucial for the prevention of HAIs and the continuous improvement of the quality of care. The study, of an exploratory, retrospective, quantitative, and descriptive nature, focuses on hospitals in the state network of Bahia that have adult and/or pediatric ICU beds.
