In 2019, the Federal Nursing Council (COFEN) launched the Laboratory of Nursing Innovation (LIE), an initiative that seeks to capture and document the knowledge considered successful, innovative and relevant of the experiences developed in the scope of management, care and training in the SUS, and which present contributions to the expansion of access, improvement of the work process and qualification of health actions and services offered in the Unified Health System (SUS).

Among 329 experiences from all over Brazil, 16 were the finalists, being selected and recognized in December 2020.

Nursing in the city of Florianópolis stood out in the first edition, with five experiences recognized among the 16 finalists. In September 2021, the 2nd edition of LIE was launched with the theme: Valuing and Strengthening Universal Health.

On 10/02/22, the 39 experiences selected for the second stage of the LIE were disclosed, among 150 reports enrolled.

Among the selected, 10 are from Santa Catarina and six from Florianópolis. One of them was enrolled by the master’s student Guilherme Mortari Belaver, from the Graduate Program in Nursing Care Management – Professional Modality.

The title of the experience is “Improvement of Access to People with Elimination Ostomy in the City of Florianópolis from the Implementation of Two Flowcharts of Care“. The report is about the experience of the master’s head master’s office in the Reference Service in The Care of the Person with Ostomy of the city of Florianópolis and how the management and care processes improved from the creation of flowcharts that organize the path of people with ostomies, their families and nurses in the municipal health network of Florianópolis.

The flowcharts were created as an activity developed in the discipline MPE 310023 – Assistance And Technological Innovation Projects, of the professional master’s degree, in which it was necessary to choose a theme of care practice to be improved. Noting that there were no well-defined flows for the assistance to people with elimination ostomies, the master’s teacher used this need to work. Flowcharts were validated by nurses from the municipal network working in primary health care (PHC), secondary care and management.

The first flowchart is called “Flow of Elimination Stomy Materials” and the second, “Insertion Flow of the Person with Elimination Ostomy”. From the beginning of the use of both, the flows became clear and objective, there is less waste of material and access to the Reference Service in The Care of People with Ostomy is easier for people with ostomies, family members and nurses in the network.

Technology has helped a lot in this process, since the use of institutional WhatsApp enables more agile communication and nursing teleconsultations, in addition to case discussions with PHC nurses, which can guide the most appropriate care.

The next step of LIE is the face-to-face presentation of the experience in Brasilia in May of this year, where all registrants will undergo a new evaluation. In the second semester, the selected experiences will be evaluated on site by judges and the award of the finalists is scheduled to take place in November.
