Background And Aim: Measuring patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) is essential for the continuous improvement of quality. This study aims to assess the quality perceived by patients in the key care processes of an integrated health area measuring PREM elements, with the goal of identifying opportunities for improvement.
Methods: The research was conducted in the first half of 2023 within a Spanish integrated health area, analysing five key healthcare processes: Primary Care, Emergency Services, Hospitalisation, Consultations, and Surgery.
Objetive: To know the perception of primary care professionals about the frequency with which interventions that should not be done at this level of care are carried out.
Material And Methods: Three questionnaires were developed to evaluate 9 interventions in family medicine, 2 in pediatrics and 6 in nursing. The percentage of professionals who stated that they always or almost always carried out these interventions was calculated, considering acceptable percentages of less than 5%.
Objective: The objective was to develop a screening for heart disease detection in primary care, to identify pathological electrocardiographic changes and underlying heart disease in adolescents.
Design: The study was carried out for one year using multistage sampling. SITE: Primary care centers in a health area that had digital ECG equipment (12 centers) were selected.
Objective: To assess changes in perceived quality in patients who required A&E hospital care before and during the COVID-19 period of alert.
Methods: Retrospective descriptive observational study using the «Net Promoter Score» (NPS), which classifies patients as promoters or detractors. Three perceived quality dimensions (accessibility, professionals, and information) were measured in 160 patients discharged home before alert, and in a further 160 in the first 2 months during alert.
Background: There is a growing interest in the optimisation of health care that has fostered and developed initiatives advocating more efficient and safe health care.
Objective: To determine indicators set for assessing the 'Do Not Do' Recommendations (DNDR) in a Spanish health area, in order to set interventions in motion for improving the quality of care and the patient safety.
Method: The DNDR published by the health care organisation in 2016 were identified, and those that could be analysed were designed and tested using two assessment methods (if possible, directly from the whole data or, if not, by applying the lot quality assurance sampling - LQAS) and 2016 data from a Spanish health area.
