Le domande di oggi
1. Quale è la differenza fra processo e percorso (PDTA)?
2. Esistono rappresentazioni grafiche obbligatorie di un PDTA?
Matrice? Flow chart? È necessaria e/o opportuna una
schede/checklist, cartacea o informatica, che accompagna
ogni paziente lungo il PDTA ?
3. Sulla base di quanto emerge da queste schede, si può fare
un'analisi dello "scostamento“. Come si fa? Si fa sempre?
Con quali strumenti?
4. Il coinvolgimento di associazioni di utenti: quali le
esperienze? Quali i vantaggi? Quali le difficoltà ?
5. È abituale e/o opportuno effettuare un'analisi dell'impatto
economico della creazione di un PDTA? È difficile ? Quali le
esperienze?

1. Definizione
• Quale è la differenza fra processo e percorso
(PDTA)? E le evidenze scientifiche?
© E-P-A European Pathway Association
La definizione europea
•
I percorsi assistenziali sono un intervento complesso per
prendere decisioni ed organizzare in modo condiviso
l’assistenza di un ben definito gruppo di pazienti in un intervallo
di tempo precisato.
© E-P-A European Pathway Association
Gli interventi complessi in Sanità
• Gli interventi complessi in Sanità, terapeutici o
preventivi, sono composti da un numero di singoli
elementi che sembrano essenziali al corretto
funzionamento dell’intervento sebbene l’ “ingrediente
attivo’’ è difficile da specificare.
• Se si considera un trial randomizzato controllato di un
farmaco vs. placebo come il più semplice di uno
spettro di studi, allora il confronto tra una stroke unit
con l’assistenza tradizionale è il più complesso.
• Se un ricercatore trova, nel disegnare il proprio studio,
difficoltà nel definire precisamente quali sono gli
“ingredienti attivi” di un intervento e come correlano
gli uni con gli altri, è probabilmente alle prese con un
intervento complesso.

La definizione europea
•
•
I percorsi assistenziali sono un intervento complesso per
prendere decisioni ed organizzare in modo condiviso
l’assistenza di un ben definito gruppo di pazienti in un intervallo
di tempo precisato.
Le caratteristiche che definiscono i percorsi includono:
– La definizione esplicita degli obiettivi e degli elementi chiave
dell’assistenza basati su evidenze, best practice e aspettative del
paziente;
– La facilitazione di comunicazione, coordinamento dei ruoli, e messa
in sequenza delle attività di team assistenziali multidisciplinari,
pazienti e famigliari;
– La documentazione, il monitoraggio e la valutazione degli
scostamenti e degli outcome;
– L’identificazione delle appropriate risorse.
•
Lo scopo di un percorso assistenziale è aumentare la qualità
delle cure nel continuum dell’assistenza, migliorando gli esisti
clinici risk adjusted, promuovendo la sicurezza e aumentando la
soddisfazione dei pazienti, e ottimizzando l’uso delle risorse.

ingredienti?

He

Clinical pathways for hospitalized children and adults of every
age and indication
17 randomised controlled trials (RCT) and controlled clinical
trials (CCT), met inclusion criteria, representing 4,070 patients:
– Significant shortening of LOS.
– Subgroup-analysis for invasive procedures a stronger LOS
reduction (weighted mean difference (WMD) -2.5 days versus -0.8
days)).
– No evidence of differences in readmission to hospitals, OR= 1.1
(95% CI: 0.57 to 2.08)
– No differences for in-hospital complications. OR = 0.7 (95% CI:
0.49 to 1.0).
– 4 studies showed significantly lower costs for the pathway group

• Effect of clinical pathways on professional practice,
patient outcomes, length of stay and hospital costs.
• Twenty-seven studies involving 11,398 participants:
– reduction in in-hospital complications (OR = 0.58: 95%CI
0.36 - 0.94)
– improved documentation (OR = 13.65: 95%CI 5.38 34.64).
– no evidence of differences in readmission to hospital or inhospital mortality.
– Length of stay reported significant reductions.
– A decrease in hospital costs/ charges was also observed,
ranging from WMD +261 US$ favouring usual care to WMD 4919 US$ favouring clinical pathways.

• 33 studies describing the development of protocols,
guidelines and care pathways in the United Kingdom
between 1991 and 2006.
• The development process was idiosyncratic, being
embedded within a specific context underplays what
is known about the complexity of innovation and
change in health care organisations
• Most papers encapsulated practitioner rather than
research knowledge.
• Authors were so positive about their standardised
approach to care, neglecting other aspects such as
– the costs of their time and
– the problems of implementation and
– sustainability.

• Care pathways in the hospital treatment of heart
failure
• Seven studies met the study inclusion criteria and
were included in the systematic review with a total
sample of 3,690 patients.
• The combined overall results showed that care
pathways have a significant positive effect on
mortality and readmission rate.
• A shorter length of hospital stay was also
observed compared with the standard care group.
• No significant difference was found in the
hospitalisation costs.
