Results: 437 meetings took place, and effective communication and teamwork were observed as essential drivers for the implementation of the Daily Huddle, with a reduction in overcrowding. Conclusion: this experience reinforced the importance of measures to limit overcrowding, thus promoting patient safety and the quality of services through organizational tools and collaborative management.
