SUMMARY:

This study aims to develop a Fast Track system implementation protocol as a strategy to optimize patient flow and reduce waiting times for users with mild flu-like symptoms at an emergency care unit in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. This is a methodological study, developed in three complementary phases: 1. Scope review, 2. Development of the Fast Track protocol, and 3. Validation by specialists, using the AGREE II instrument. The scope review will support the identification of the best scientific evidence, providing the conceptual and operational basis for the design of the care flow, screening criteria, responsibilities of the multidisciplinary team, and monitoring and evaluation indicators. The protocol will be developed in accordance with national and international guidelines, ensuring methodological rigor, clarity, applicability, and care safety. The validation stage by judges will allow for the assessment of the consistency, relevance, and feasibility of implementing the protocol in the context of the UPA. The expected results are that the Fast Track protocol will significantly reduce user waiting times, optimize the organization of the care flow, minimize the care overload, and contribute to improving the quality, effectiveness, and safety of care provided to patients with mild flu-like symptoms. In addition, the protocol is expected to support managerial decision-making, improve the work processes of the healthcare team, and strengthen the management of the Urgent and Emergency Care Network in the municipality of Natal/RN, and may also serve as a reference for implementation in similar services. As final considerations, the study reaffirms the relevance of evidence-based care protocols as strategic tools for improving the quality of care in urgent and emergency services. The systematization of care through Fast Track has the potential to improve organizational efficiency, promote greater equity in access, and strengthen patient safety, contributing to the sustainability of the care network and the improvement of care management in the Unified Health System.
