Implementação de fluxo para manejo de teste rápido em unidade de saúde no Rio de Janeiro

This is the experience report of a nursing resident in the implementation of an intervention plan aimed at solving a problem identified in a type B primary care unit, where the family health strategy model and the traditional model coexist, located in the northern part of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The aim was to describe the implementation of a flow for carrying out and recording rapid tests for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, aiming to improve the quality of care during their execution, the release of results through standardized forms and the training of the professionals involved. The methodology was carried out through an intervention plan, where the objective was to implement a flowchart for conducting rapid tests for sexually transmitted infections in a unit and training the team that performed the tests in the unit. From the implementation of the flow, improvements were observed in the process of carrying out and recording the quick tests, as well as the maintenance of limitations related to the topic. The lack of knowledge of the professionals involved in the testing was noticed, with a consequent impact on effectiveness, emphasizing the importance of continuing education.
