Introduction: The hospital environment requires collaboration among professionals to ensure quality and safety in care delivery. Synergy between multidisciplinary teams and collective intelligence enhances effectiveness and reduces medical errors, making knowledge management and psychological safety essential. These factors encourage the exchange of information without fear of retaliation. In this context, the "Circle Up" method promotes effective communication and contributes to error reduction, making collaborative work safer and more efficient. Objective: This study evaluated the perception of healthcare professionals at the Sagrada Família University Hospital (HUSF) regarding the "Circle Up" method. Methodology: An observational, cross-sectional, and exploratory study was conducted using both qualitative and quantitative approaches through a questionnaire developed by the authors. The questionnaire was applied to 67 professionals, predominantly women (86.57%) and nursing technicians (73.13%), with the majority aged between 18 and 29 years (52.24%). Results and Discussion: The results showed that 32.79% of participants considered "Circle Up" relevant for teamwork, although only 26.32% reported positive impacts on their personal lives. These findings reinforce the method’s potential to improve communication, planning, and collaboration in the hospital setting, even if its effects beyond the professional context are limited. Conclusion: It is concluded that the "Circle Up" method has significant potential to improve communication, planning, and teamwork in the hospital environment. Its implementation supports the exchange of information and fosters a collaborative and safe environment, which is essential for high-quality patient care.
