- Abstract
This is an experience report that aims to describe the process of developing protocols for the hospital, performed in the Emergency Unit of a Teaching Hospital of the Federal University of Paraná in Curitiba-PR, from December 2011 to July 2012. The preparation of the protocols was conducted in three stages: the first was the semi-structured interviews with 18 hospitalized patients with hypertension and / or diabetes mellitus. In the second step were held four meetings to discuss the answers of respondents and elaborate protocols. The third stage consisted of home visits to patients interviewed and meeting with nurses for deployment of protocols in high orientation. It is believed that the use of protocols discharge can be a valuable tool in managing the treatment of patients with chronic diseases because it allows their involvement and provides professional support in continuing their therapy.
