Objective: To determine the effectiveness of a plan to improve adherence to safe practices for the prevention of adverse events in nursing professionals in the emergency department of a hospital. Materials and methods: Quantitative and pre-experimental study with 29 nursing graduates from a hospital in Lima. Safe practice observation guides were applied, and the quality indicator reports of the service were evaluated before and after the implementation of the improvement plan by rotation groups over a period of 6 months. Results: After the implementation of the improvement plan, the level of adherence to safe practices by the nursing staff went from critical (70%) to acceptable (90%). Likewise, the quality indicators showed significant variations in the areas of patient identification (from 82% to 99%), fall prevention (from 77% to 95%) and medication administration (from 80% to 99%). Conclusion: Improvements in adherence to safe practices were achieved through the implementation of the improvement plan, so it is necessary to give continuity to the strategies proposed and involve the multidisciplinary team in order to ensure quality care in the emergency department.
