Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To propose parameters to qualify the filling of the Patient Classification System proposed by Perroca.
METHOD
Validation study by consensus held in 2014, in a university hospital. The sample included 10 specialist nurses, four teachers and a computer science professional, all knowledgeable in the Classification System. The information was collected and analyzed through meetings registration, where strategies were discussed to enable the systematic application of the instrument in the institution. For the construction, it was considered a consensus of 100% among the experts.
RESULTS
The computerized parameter guide was elaborated with a description of what to evaluate in each item of the Perroca’s instrument, standardizing the filling by the nurses.
CONCLUSIONS
The parameter guide made it possible to minimize the subjectivity of the evaluators when applying the classification instrument, provided guiding elements to fill it in and qualified the nursing care benchmarking.
