SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE ASSISTANCE TO BE PROVIDED TO WORKERS AFTER ACCIDENTS INVOLVING BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL

Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: to develop a prototype web-based software program for managing the assistance to be provided to workers after accidents involving exposure to biological material. Method: a research study on technological production involving the development of web-based software using the Agile Scrum method. It was conceived based on data produced in convergent care research with professionals involved in welcoming and decision-making regarding injured workers. The web-based software prototype underwent evaluation by participant that use the tool and was documented. Results: the web-based software assists in recording diverse information about accidents involving biological material and provides access to information, easing prompt actions and ensuring safety in procedures, which favors decision-making and the assistance provided to the workers. Conclusion: workers' health requires technological and managerial investments, with a focus on qualified welcoming and educational management to prevent accidents.
