Trata-se da revisão da literatura sobre a padronização da Qualidade e o processo de avaliação pela Acreditação Hospitalar. Foi realizado um apanhado histórico sobre o início da avaliação da qualidade nos serviços de saúde, com o Programa de Padronização Hospitalar elaborado pelo Colégio Americano de Cirurgiões, em meados de 1924, até a criação da Organização Nacional de Acreditação - ONA, que tem como objetivos a implantação e implementação de um processo permanente de melhoria da assistência à saúde estimulando os serviços a atingirem padrões mais elevados de qualidade. Após reflexão, considerou-se que nas avaliações dos serviços faz-se necessário buscar a valorização dos resultados assistenciais bem como a elaboração de padrões quali - quantitativamente mais equânimes nos aspectos estrutura, processos e resultados da qualidade assistencial.
This article presents the importance of the creativity and innovation on health services, distinguishing those concepts. Creative behavior is the improvement of an element or known actions: whereas innovation means finding new alternatives. Considering competences like knowledge, skill and attitude--KSA, it is understood that by stimulating creativity and innovation, the performance of the health professional will be optimized. Therefore, creativity and innovation are key elements for improvement and organization, and, more specifically, for Nursing to find alternatives for solving problems related to the occupation as a whole. In this way, this approach brings a strategic tool on the process of management and a differential for the nurse, which by innovating and creating will amaze herself with her potential.
The quality is already a part of daily reality in hospital organizations. Care is assessed through the organizational structures, work processes and obtained results. The goal was to identify the result evaluation criteria applied to the nursing service, used in accreditation programs, and to classify them in administrative, care and teaching/research activities. We carried out an exploratory, descriptive and quantitative study. Data were collected from 7 companies accredited by the National Accrediting Organization. These sent us 8 models, divided into groups A, B and C. Group A: models that use the manual; group B: models to which criteria were added; and group C: proper models. We identified 24 criteria: 13 administrative, 06 for care processes and 05 for teaching/research. Nursing services are evaluated with prominence to the administrative area, indicating that the other areas need to be reevaluated in terms of qualitative and quantitative aspects, in order to obtain more precise measurements.
Objective To compare the characteristics of the work environment that enable the professional practice of nurses in private and public organizations.Methods A quantitative, exploratory, cross-section study, carried out in four health organizations - one public and three private, with 188 registered nurses. Participants answered the Brazilian version of the Nursing Work Index − Revised, which aims to evaluate the presence of characteristics that favor the development of nursing activities through 15 items distributed into three subscales: autonomy, control over the practice setting and relationships with physicians. The measurement scale used is Likert, and lower scores represent better evaluation of the environment, i.e. , more favorable characteristics are present to assist the development of nursing activities.Results The means of the responses of participants of private hospitals were smaller in all subscales of the instrument, as compared to those from public hospitals.Conclusion The environment of private hospitals showed more favorable characteristics to the professional practice of registered nurses than the public hospital environment.
