Clinical Trial Summary

Objective: evaluate the effectiveness and usability of a mobile application for post-discharge surveillance of surgical site infection as a support system for clinical decision.


Clinical Trial Description

Introduction: Infection of the surgical site (SSI) is one of the main infections related to health care, culminating in financial losses to the health system and high morbidity and mortality, which due to increasingly shorter hospital stays, from 13 to 75% is manifested at home of the patient, requiring health professionals to act more effectively in post-discharge surveillance of this condition. Therefore, considering this problem and the constant evolution of technological resources, with the increase in access and use of smartphones by the population, it is pertinent to develop a mobile application for post-discharge surveillance of surgical site infection. Objective: evaluate the effectiveness and usability of a mobile application for post-discharge surveillance of surgical site infection as a support system for clinical decision. Method: Randomized Clinical Trial to assess effectiveness of a mobile application for post-discharge surveillance of infection of the surgical site. The study will be developed in a large hospital in the city of São Paulo and the study participants will be surgical patients. Expected results: The mobile application for post-discharge surveillance is expected to collaborate in the early detection of potential cases of surgical site infection, to be able to improve post-discharge surveillance strategies, assist in data management, decision making and actions to prevent infection of the surgical site. ;
