Abstract

This study aimed to characterize the records of the multiprofessional team of a unit of high complexity specialized on the follow up of the patient with advanced oncologic disease. The study subjects were the medical records of patients who attended the service. This is a descriptive, retrospective study with quantitative analysis. Data were collected through documentary analysis, using a structured instrument. It was found that the majority (75%) were women, aged between 20 to 59 years (52%), diagnosed more than three years ago (54%). The main type of cancer was breast (57%), followed by prostate (14%). The results showed a greater focus of the multiprofessional team in the exclusive notes of the technical competences. It was observed that important characteristics of the coexistence with oncological diseases were forgotten in the annotations. The study made it clear that staffing would be more effective if the medical record served as a multiprofessional communication tool, considering the needs of the patient that are not contained in a pre-structured evaluation form.
