Improve the process of identification of the patient in two referral hospitals in Oncology. It is a quantitative, quasi-experimental study, like before and after, with no control group. The improvement cycle went on two institutions for cancer care, with seven assessment criteria of quality, inherent in the identification of the patient. These were analyzed as to their validity and content facing and reliability by the Kappa index. The sampling was systematic, with retrospective review and direct observation. After initial assessment was prepared the affinity diagram, ordering and organizing the intervention to improve quality. The fulfillment of the actions has been calculated by estimating on time and with the 95% confidence interval. For comparison and analysis of the effectiveness of the improvement cycle were estimated the absolute and relative improvement and the statistical significance of unilateral Z-value test (p ≤ 0.05). The statistical significance was proven in four of the seven criteria of quality. The absolute improvement was achieved in the criteria for identifying the bed, blood products, request request for laboratory tests and parts identification of pathology. The identification criterion of imaging scans obtained 2% absolute improvement, identification of the chart presented negative development ( -9.0%) and bracelet identification showed no positive result. How to improve on the most significant results criteria focused on identification of bed, blood products, request request for laboratory tests and identification of Imaging tests. The intervention of improvement proved to be effective and contributed to redefining patient identification activities, with the involvement of health professionals, patients, the escorts and the senior management. The strategy of improving the quality and the intervention can be replicated to promote a correct identification and safety of patients.Acesso AbertoSistema de identificação do pacienteSegurança do pacienteMelhoria da qualidademasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE: QUALIDADE EM SERVIÇOS DE SAÚDE
