Abstract

This work presents a proposal for improvement in the emergency area of a health care provider institute that offers third and fourth level services in the city of Santa Marta, Colombia, which, despite its significant growth, is showing delays and dissatisfaction of part of the users. For this purpose, the use of research tools, office tools for information processing, and interviews were combined to validate the care processes based on their verification with the actors involved. The entire process was compiled and validated monthly, with a view to strengthening good practices and timely correcting the deviations that became evident. As a final result, the proposed improvement plan was achieved, based on the results of the areas of human talent, infrastructure and processes.
