I PDTA cinque domande all`esperto
LE NOVITÀ DEI SISTEMI DI GESTIONE DELLA QUALITÀ IN SANITÀ: I PDTA COME ELEMENTO DI VALUTAZIONE SPERIMENTALE I PDTA cinque domande all’esperto Prof. Massimiliano Panella Presidente European Pathway Association (www.E-P-A.org) Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale “Amedeo Avogadro” panella@med.unipmn.it Bologna, 29 Novembre 2012 © E-P-A European Pathway Association 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? © E-P-A European Pathway Association 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. Fonte: MRC, 2000, 2008 © 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. 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.
