Os desafios para manejo da pandemia da Covid-19 em um hospital de Belo Horizonte e sua relação com a APS

Abstract

The article aims at a critical analysis of the challenges of the Coronavirus Sars-Cov2 pandemic from the experience of a regional hospital in the northern part of the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte. In addition to the characterization of the hospital organization and the existing links with SUS-BH caregiving stations, it also addressed the set of actions adopted and lessons learned from the prevention, control and assistance of patients and workers in the context of Covid-19. This learning experience is related to the importance of institutional agility for the development of structural and organizational adaptations on the management of the new disease and communication as a transparency tool for team involvement. Besides the articulation with the planned actions with SUS-BH, it also identified the need to expand strategies with Primary Health Care for the continuity of care for patients discharged from hospitals diagnosed with Covid-19.
