Abstract
Objective
To assess, on the basis of the perspective of nursing professionals, the structure, process, and results of a screening system, Embracement with Risk Classification, integrated in some Brazilian emergency services.
Methods
This cross-sectional study included 151 nursing professionals who completed the Instrument for Assessment of Embracement with Risk Classification. We measured the mean ranking of each item and representativeness of the structure, process, and result dimension.
Results
Only the dimension “result” of a single emergency service was evaluated as fair. The remaining dimensions, for all other services investigated, were considered poor.
Conclusion
Results indicated improvements in the quality of care delivered and prioritization of severe cases. However, improvements in the flow of against-reference system are still needed.
