Introduction: Heart transplantation is a treatment option for patients with advanced heart failure. In this context, the nurse has the responsibility to carry out the evaluation and the nursing care plan, thus, the performance of the nursing process is essential for the quality of care. Objective: To develop a care technology for the application of the nursing process in heart transplant patients for the use in the outpatient level. Methodology: This is an applied methodological study, with technological production, developed in four stages. 1) Survey of the nursing problems for patients with heart failure; 2) Technical and scientific script preparation, based on the Basic Human Needs Theory of Horta for the application of the nursing process to heart transplant patients and the production of the piece of technology; 3) Content validation of the piece of technology; 4) Software prototype. The two initial stages were done with the literature review of cardiology books, and the guidelines: Brazilian Chronic and Acute Heart Failure, and the Brazilian Transplantation Guidelines, completed by the researchers’ experience. After, with the support of the Basic Human Needs Theory of Wanda Horta, a script for the assistance of the person with heart failure was prepared. The third stage comprised of the validation of the content by consensus, with 12 judges, and using a Content Validity Index, with the agreement accepted when higher than 0.80. The fourth stage was the prototype of a software. Result: A general average of 0.91 in the Content Validity Index was obtained. Products: This work enabled the preparation of a script for the application of the Nursing Process to heart transplant patients, the prototype of a software for the application of the Nursing Process to heart transplant patients; and the creation of the software’s logo. Final considerations: This study described the detailed construction of a proposal for the use of a script validated by specialists in the area that will be included in a software that will enable to register data of patients that are being followed when in pre-heart transplant condition. New studies might be done using this prototype to give shape to the building of a software, and for the applied, tested and efficacy validated use for the assistance of people in outpatient follow up
