Content validation and development of a software for hemodialysis

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

Objective: To describe the development of a software for the management of clinical and quality indicators in patient care under hemodialysis.

Method: This is a methodological study, which involved three stages: 1) survey of the theoretical framework for structuring content about clinical and quality indicators, relevant for registry in hemodialysis service and assessment of hemodialysis effectiveness; 2) content validation by judges; 3) software development. The methodology proposed by Pressman was used for its creation, which consists of five steps: communication, planning, modeling, construction, and implementation.

Results: The software produced consists of 112 validated items, with the functionality of the system for registering and searching patients at the service, updating clinical and laboratory data as well as generating reports related to infections, vascular access implantation, adverse events, hospitalization and quality indicators.

Conclusion: This study enabled the development of a software as a tool for compiling and organizing patient data on hemodialysis, with a view to generating information and knowledge that supports assessment and clinical decision making of nursing supported by critical judgment.
