Objective:
To describe the development of computerization of risk prediction scales used by nursing in the AGHUse® system.
Method:
An experience report of technological production at a university hospital, which followed the phases of conception, detailing, construction and prototyping.
Results:
Different scales were computerized, with emphasis on the Braden and Braden Q, which assess the risk of pressure injuries, and the Severo-Almeida-Kuchenbecker, which assesses the risk of falls. The process of computerization and implementation took place through registration of the scales in the software, application of them in care practice, integration and visualization of their scores with the other functionalities of the electronic medical record.
Final Considerations:
The functionalities developed in the computerization of risk prediction scales favored its operation, reflecting positively on nursing practice and patient safety.
