Estruturação de curso de capacitação mediado por tecnologia para otimizar a gestão de equipamentos médico-hospitalares

Abstract

State of the art: The development of a massive online open course, focused on the continuing education of professionals in several areas, especially in healthcare, has proved to be a promising strategy for update de knowledge of those who aimed to develop more critical-reflective thinking about the problems faced in their professional routines. Problem: One of the problems in healthcare facilities is the incipience in the planning acquisition processes of highly complex equipment and incidents involving the use of this equipment, exposing patients, healthcare professionals, and the equipment itself at risk. Objective: Thus, the aim of this study is to propose the structuring of a pedagogical project for the development of a distance learning course to be hosted on the AVASUS platform to mitigate weaknesses in the acquisition planning process of highly complex equipment and its use. The equipment choosen is nuclear magnetic resonance, justified because it has a high cost of acquisition, implantation, and operation, besides cause a high impact on care when it is unavailable. Its unavailability compromises the fulfilment of diagnostic imaging tests for identification, prognosis, and therapy of patients, mainly with suspected cancer. Methodology: A survey of articles was carried out in 4 databases available on the CAPES platform. It was searched themes on the structuring of open courses supported by information technology. Besides, consultations were made to the AVASUS platform's guidance documents. Again, two immersion workshops occurred to define the pedagogical structure of educational courses mediated by information technologies. The research was done to develop the course's programmatic content. It was carried out with secondary data on the nuclear magnetic resonance equipment and the problem of its operation and the planning of its acquisition. The course preparation began in June 2019 and extended until June 2020. Results and Discussions: The outcome products are a pedagogical proposal of a 60-hour course, which overviews the insertion of MRI equipment in healthcare systems, presenting theoretical, normative, legislative, and practical concepts about this technology and its use. The instructional design and the course's pedagogical architecture were developed based on the best recommendations found in the studied literature. Conclusion: Thus, the structuring of massive open online courses is strategically viable for the formation of reflective critical thinking about the practices of healthcare professionals in their daily routines involving problems related to highly complex medical equipment, with a consequent minimization of the assistance, social and financial impacts on health systems and increased patient safety, the focus of modern health strategies.
