Lifelong learning contributes to the development of knowledge and skill in nursing. A focus on continuous learning is necessary to remain current on trends, practices, and the newest treatments in the field of nursing. Creation of a culture where educational growth is supported and promoted is vital to advancement of the nursing profession. Nurses’ satisfaction with their professional role can be further enhanced by demonstrated expertise through lifelong learning. Expertise in nursing is solidly founded on evidence-based practice. Research, education, and experience in nursing practice are linked to evidence-based practice and lifelong learning; both are essential to remaining well versed in health care service delivery.

Pharmaceutical care necessitates significant efforts from patients, informal caregivers, the interprofessional team of health care professionals and health care system administrators. Collaboration, mutual respect and agreement amongst all stakeholders regarding responsibilities throughout the complex process of pharmaceutical care is needed before patients can take full advantage of modern medicine. Based on the literature and policy documents, in this position paper, we reflect on opportunities for integrated evidence-based pharmaceutical care to improve care quality and patient outcomes from a nursing perspective. Despite the consensus that interprofessional collaboration is essential, in clinical practice, research, education and policy-making challenges are often not addressed interprofessionally. This paper concludes with specific advises to move towards the implementation of more interprofessional, evidence-based pharmaceutical care.

O objetivo desse artigo é apresentar um estudo que integra o Design de Serviço e o Mecanismo da Função Produção (MFP) para redesenhar os serviços de cuidado da saúde a fim de melhorar a percepção de valor do paciente e o aumento da produtividade das operações de um hospital através da eliminação de suas perdas. O método de pesquisa utilizado foi o da pesquisação tendo sido aplicado em um Centro de Tratamento Intensivo (CTI) de um hospital privado do Sul do Brasil. As técnicas de observação participante, entrevistas, pesquisa em arquivo e reuniões de co-criação com uma equipe do hospital foram utilizadas na coleta de dados. Os dados foram analisados através de análise de conteúdo a partir das entrevistas e de ferramentas do Design de Serviço e da Engenharia de Produção. A abordagem baseada em evidências tende a contribuir para que os resultados do projeto possam ser replicados em casos futuros. O MFP pode apoiar o desenvolvimento de projetos na área do Design, assim como a abordagem integrada desenvolvida na área hospitalar, apontando para a dedicação de mais tempo nas fases de diagnóstico e implantação. Os resultados são úteis para demonstrar que as abordagens do Design de Serviço e do MFP podem ser utilizadas simultaneamente para o desenvolvimento de solução mais robustas no ambiente hospitalar. Pesquisas futuras podem ser feitas em outros hospitais privados ou em hospitais públicos, assim como em outras unidades de um hospital que não sejam em CTIs. As limitações da pesquisa incluem o fato de que o trabalho feito ocorreu em apenas um hospital e em uma única unidade de serviço, além dos dados terem sido coletados a partir de um pequeno grupo de profissionais do hospital. A integração do Design baseado em Evidências, do Design baseado em Experiências e do MFP podem produzir formas mais robustas para justificar e definir o foco das melhorias em serviços hospitalares.
