(Bogotá : Universidad Externado de Colombia, 2019., 2019) Ramírez Zúñiga, Jesús Andrés; Koteich Khatib, Milagros Buchrra
The main objective of this study is to identify the implications in civil liability of the ratio or professional nurslng ratio: patient in the Adult lntensive Care Unit (ICU) of the lnstitutions that provide prívate services. Understanding the ratio as the number of nursing professionals per patient. From this study it was possible to conclude that the ratio studied in Colombia is low and inadequate, because although there are no regulations that standardize this organizational indicator in the country, the standard suggested by scientific studies and regulations of other countries is maximum 1:3, while nationally it is 1:7 to 1:10, that is two to three times more patients assigned by professional in UCIA. This shows that the IPS do not carry out studies of installed capacity adjusted to the 2003 resolution of 2014, nor do they use international scales (eg TISS-28, NAS or NEMS). This increases the risk of adverse events in patients and therefore the risk of civil liability of the nursing professional, EPS and IPS. The first failure to observe the number 5 of article 20 of law 266 of 1996 and the last by default of the duty of risk management (EPS) and security obligation (IPS).
