Objectives:
to analyze the implementation of multidisciplinary checklist-directed rounds before health indicators and multidisciplinary team perception of an Intensive Care Unit.
Methods:
a mixed methods study, with an explanatory sequential design, carried out at a hospital in southern Brazil, from September 2020 to August 2021. The integration of quantitative and qualitative data was combined by connection.
Results:
after the implementation of checklist-directed rounds, there was a significant reduction in hospital stay from ventilator-associated pneumonia, urinary tract infection and daily invasive device use. The investigated practice is essential for comprehensive care, harm reduction, effective work and critical patient safety.
Conclusions:
the multidisciplinary rounds with checklist use reduced data on health indicators of critically ill patients and was considered a vital practice in the intensive care setting.
