Due to its impact on human health and its capacity to cause damage, disasters are one of the global problems that most concern the international community. However, and in spite of the efforts made by many health systems, the reduction of vulnerabilities and the lack of strategies to avoid or minimize risks have not received enough attention yet. As Cuba is located in an area of permanent danger of disasters, its health sector has accumulated considerable experience in the management of risks and in the assurance of less risky future scenarios, with active participation of the community and a planned and organized process to address the impact of climate change. This paper summarizes some of these experiences and describes the dangers, vulnerabilities, and risks of disasters in Cuba, its Civil Defense System, and planning and organization in the health sector for disaster reduction, as well as the main effects and challenges of climate change in the health system. Lessons learned and good practices support the key role of human resources to reduce vulnerabilities; the greatest challenges are to avoid or minimize risks, to advance research, to train professionals for climate change, and to optimize the organization of health systems and services in the country.

Introduction: The implementation or Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) is a strategy that whose goal is to increase the use of evidence in the context of decision making and building health policies. Nurses of The “Cardioinfantil-IC” Foundation (FCI-IC) established a collaborative agreement with the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario, Canada (RNAO), in order to implement and evaluate three of its GPC in adult inpatients. Objective: This paper describes the design, process and preliminary evaluation of an implementation plan between July 2012 and December 2014. Methodology: The selection of the CPG was made after an initial needs diagnosis and a feasibility analysis. Two CPGs were based on prevention: one about fall and another one about pressure ulcers (PU); and one more based on direct care related to assessment and management of diabetic foot ulcers. The indicators selected for CPG about prevention were frequency of evaluation and confirmation of risk and event rate (falls and UP). In the CPG about care was evaluated the percentage of assessed patients (lower limbs and feet) in admissions, the percentage of patient/family education, and the percentage of patients with foot injury reduction (50%). Results: The evaluation of the risk for falls and pressure ulcers with a reassessment ranging from 24 to 72 hours was performed in all patients that were admitted. There was a reduction in the use of guardrails, and a low reduction in falls. There was no change in the rate of pressure ulcers but the incidence of ulcers was limited to grade II. The assessment in lower limbs, the education, and care about foot ulcers in diabetic patients increased. Conclusions: The implementation process of GPC, as a result of the networking with the RNAO, has guided nursing care practice based on the assessment of risk and events. Some limitations in the level of evidence of some recommendations have promoted the development of a new research.
