ABSTRACT
Introduction: In the health field, effective communication helps avoid poor results, especially when all patient care providers form a multidisciplinary team and have to coordinate their actions precisely. In the delivery area, errors are not expected and in most cases they are assumed to be preventable.
Aim: The objective of this work has consisted in the design and implementation of a telematics tool that records the data of each briefing to identify security alerts from the information collected.
Material and Method: Double Design: Descriptive observational study and Bibliographic review of studies published in different electronic databases in English and Spanish focused on the conceptualization of the clinical safety culture and its theoretical foundations.
Results: A high level of agreement was observed on the goals of the day and a high participation among the different professionals. Among the communication problems there was a strong predominance regarding the presence of language barriers with the patients. Staff availability was adequate enough for the workload, much less the available resources.
Conclusions: Briefing sessions recorded by QR code as a systematic strategy to reduce obstetric adverse events can have a significant impact on patient safety.
