DIGITAL PLATFORM FOR MANAGEMENT OF SPECIAL IMMUNOBIOLOGICALS IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE

Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: to develop and validate a digital platform for managing special immunobiologicals in Primary Health Care. Method: this is a methodological study, carried out in Campinas/SP, Brazil. The platform development took place between July and December 2021. Between April and October 2022, simulation and validity were carried out by professionals, applying an instrument containing statements referring to the ISO/IEC 25010 standard characteristics and sub-characteristics, judged as in agreement, disagreement or does not apply. Values of characteristics and subcharacteristics were estimated, considering the minimum value of 70% of positive answers to be adequate. Characteristics and subcharacteristics that did not reach the minimum value had their justifications categorized according to changes made. Results: the platform was called ConectAPS-CRIE. Login, Home Dashboard, Users, Units, Immunobiological, Patients, Requests, Reports and Help areas were developed. When validated by nurses, the Accessibility (66.7%) and Protection Against Error (66.7%) subcharacteristics were considered inadequate. Information technology professionals considered the Reliability characteristic (52.8%) and the Functional correctness (69.2%), Accessibility (37.5%), Error protection (40%), Integrity (59.1%) and Non-repudiation (66.7%) sub-characteristics to be inadequate. The categories of justifications reported and changed were: disappearance of patients’ record when changing it; access to the system using only a password; lack of accessibility characteristics; lack of validity of personal data; exclusion of patients with a registered request; inclusion of a request without patient registration; layout and text message adjustment in the Attach File function; request disconnected from the requesting user’s unit. Conclusion: the platform can facilitate the management of requests for special immunobiologicals in Primary Care and its validity has allowed it to be improved.
