Objectives:
to build and validate technology for communication among nurses in transition of care between pre-hospital services and emergency care through a committee of experts.
Methods:
a methodological study with a quantitative approach to develop and validate an assistive technology. The Delphi technique was used to reach consensus among experts, employing international sampling and snowball sampling. The analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and psychometric tests.
Results:
in the first round, 15 experts assessed the 138 items and suggested some adjustments. In the second round, a greater consensus was achieved, with a reliability index above 0.90 and a Cronbach's alpha of 0.93, confirming the instrument's validity.
Final Considerations:
the assistive technology developed showed potential for improving communication in transition of care in the emergency room, ensuring safety, continuity of care and offering a standardized interprofessional communication strategy.
