Impacts and legacies of a disaster in a university hospital

a reference to the preparation

Abstract

Objective: Disaster victims care establishes the challenge of preparing for hospital
institutions to meet increasing demand, while essential services must continue to
work. This is a qualitative study carried out in the case study, with the objective of
identifying and describing the impacts and legacies of attending fire victims at the
Kiss nightclub for the management of resources of the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto
Alegre. Method: the data collection was developed in interviews and consultation of
documents. Seventeen professionals involved in the management of care participated
in the study. Results and discussion: the data were analyzed through content analysis
of the thematic type. Impacts on human resources management were identified, with
recruitment, training; in the management of material resources with the increase of
non-standard inputs and materials; in the management of physical resources with the
provision of beds and space for the reception of family members. Among the legacies,
an Plano Institucional de Apoio a Catástrofes Externas was developed. Conclusion: the
results confirm the evidence that the learning about risk management happens from
events experienced by health institutions, whose legacy is reflected in the qualification
of the planning and disaster response. The impacts and legacies identified constitute
subsidies for the qualification of hospital care in disasters.
