Patients and managers value very positively the private healthcare in Andalusia.

as part of the day of introducing of the study on health care delivery to the patient in Andalusia, performed by Áliad.

-patients come more frequently (46% of the time) to private health that to the public (38%); 15% makes it both

-as regards the general perception of the private health care, the order of evaluation by provinces is Granada (7.8), Cádiz (7.7), Seville(7.5), Almeria (7.5), Cordoba (7.5) and Málaga (7.4)

-the respondents choose the private system for the comfort of the rooms, quickly received attention, information and the treatment and training of the nursing staff

-when they opt for public health, available media and technology and the training of its healthcare professionals do

Seville, 2011-August health private enjoys a good valuation between Andalusian patients; both users and managers assess their overall performance with a remarkable (a 7,53 patients and a 8,04 seconds). Thus reflected in study on healthcare delivery patient Andalusia submitted on May 18 in Seville, the first exclusively performed in centers of private health care in a community, the Andalusian, which is about 20% of private healthcare and the Spanish population.

Thus, according to the findings of the study, with a sample of 925 patients and 24 directors, before a serious illness, 3 out of 10 people choose the private health system, 4 public and 2 make it interchangeably (one in ten is silent). Managers, on the other hand, think majority (71% of cases) that users come in such situations to one or the other either.

By contrast, in situations of normality, patients come more frequently (45.9 per cent of cases) to private health care that public (37.8% of the time); 14.6% do both. Among the first, up to 83% comes from MUFACE, MUGEJU or ISFAS, of which (58%) health insurance has contracted over.

The study has been presented by the Association of business health of healthcare provision of Andalusia (AESPAA) and the Andalusian Business Confederation (CEA). This innovative project, funded with a grant to the Ministry of health of the Junta de Andalucía has granted to the CEA has been realized by the Áliad company, specializing in services to the private health Spain and experience in the preparation of studies of this sector.

Comfort and speed of the attention, main reasons to choose the private health

The reasons that wield patients to choose private health include the comfort of the rooms, the speed of the care, treatment and information received and training of the staff of nursing.

On the other hand, when they opt for public health do available media and technology and the training of medical professionals.

Meanwhile, the main reasons for patients when choosing one or another private Centre are close to home, quality and prestige of the hospital, confidence in the physician and the ease to get together.

However, managers do not coincide in this order and believe that patients valued little, for the time being, the recognition of quality. Thus, less than 25% of the patients knows if hospital which comes available this certificate, although within this percentage 70% is valued much by what can be assumed that advertising which make these centres of these certificates in insufficient.

The latter is important, as Julio González Bedia, Director General Áliad knowledge and service, says that he hopes that this study will become “ in a tool not only to know the preferences of patients and users of private health care, but also to help take sector improvement initiatives with regard to these views ”.

Málaga, the province where most valued private health

By provinces, the Malaga are that more attend private health care (66%), while patients of Granada and Cadiz come with greater frequency to the public (91 per cent and 75 per cent of respondents, respectively), in other provinces, the percentage lies between 55% and 65%which relates to each province private supply.

Málaga is also the only province where most valued private healthcare to the public at all levels questioned in the study. In Seville, however, it seems that recent investment in the sector have not penetrated in the perception of the patient.

With regard to the overall perception of the private health care, the order of evaluation by provinces is Granada (7.8), Cádiz (7.7), Seville (7.5), Almeria (7.5), Cordoba (7.5) and Málaga (7.4). This can be attributed to the effect of the respondent patient experience and the increased demand for experienced private patient.

This initiative is a project to decentralize management and improve the efficient use of resources, the aim of which is not saving in the short term but the efficient management of resources.

In the current economic situation, the HGU has focused its management strategy in the decentralization of the management to move from a macro to a micro-management, with the aim that all those responsible for service of process from the HGU commit with care, economic and strategic results of the hospital.

Four services management contracts have been introduced which represent 28% of hospital discharges and the aim is that, by the end of 2012, has implemented in 100 per cent of the health centre.

In this regard, the managing director of the hospital, Santiago Rabanal, points out that “ are improving the Organization’s face to these complicated times to be able to continue offering good service to our patients and to ensure the sustainability of our system ”.

Also, Rabanal explains that they want to “ move from a macro in which almost all aspects of accountability in the management fall into the management team, a micro-management in which all those responsible for services or processes also have this responsibility in the management of the resources entrusted to ”.

The project consists in the signing of a “ management contracts ” covering health care, economic and strategic commitments of each service. To achieve these commitments, it has provided the Hospital of an information system that allows for monitoring, control and evaluation of the results.

Information system comprises, on the one hand, the welfare indicators monitored through of ‘ Osakliniker ’, a clinical search engine developed in the hospital and he was recognized with the Barea prize. This tool allows you to compare, by diagnosis and procedure, all the processes that all the specialties that take place in Hospital with take at different hospitals in Osakidetza.

In this sense, the managing director indicates that “ in this way, for example, responsible for service of Pneumology can know if their income for pneumonia last longer in our hospital than in others, if they have more infections or complications ”.

On the other hand, the information system also includes a tool that keeps track of economic indicators, whose name is ‘ Business Intelligence ”. This resource allows services display in a flexible manner and make comparisons with other periods, allowing to track expenditure and cost which have.

This picture of economic controls, explains Rabanal, “ shows the expenses of pharmacy or medical supplies of the Pneumology Service, which are compared with those of other years to identify if there is increasing spending, or what is the drug that most it is consuming, for example. Also lets you know spending involved through their requests to other services or processes, as for example expense ordered analytical or rays x ”

“ this allows us to take action agile, know if a treatment is set to the number of patients is attending or not,. In addition, allows us to make some kind of modification, in which case you need to make it ”, says the managing director. Both tools are integrated and facilitate assessment of the efficiency objectives agreed in the contract.
Evaluation

The managing director of the HGU points out is another important feature of these contracts has been an emphasis on the results of the services and not so much in their activity. “ We care about most is the number of patients that have a list of surgical waiting and delay that have to be taken care that the number of surgical interventions which are ”, says.

The evaluation of these management contracts has been very positive with 67% of the objectives achieved. In the area of economic commitments emphasizes the cost weight GRD (measure of hospital production) who has been a decrease in pilot services – 4.32% compared to the rest of services has increased 1.99%… This means that if the 4 services that have begun with contracts management had the behavior of the rest of the hospital we had increased our spending 2010 2.157.877 euro.

Patients from around the world are not satisfied with their doctors.

Patients from around the world are not satisfied with their doctors.

-patients around the world are not satisfied with their doctors, feeling lack of respect, rush their visits and treatment decisions exclusion

-New research from SSI and TRiG Unveils that doctors do not spend enough time with their patients, are not specific and do not respond to your questions

Shelton, Connecticut, July 14, 2011- PRNewswire/new SSI and The Research Intelligence Group (TRiG) studies show that two-thirds of the patients in the world feel lack of respect for their doctors. Unclear communication is the main reason for the dissatisfaction of the patients. Approximately one quarter of the patients in the world complain that their doctors do not respond to your questions, did not involve them in therapeutic decisions and used medical terms without any explanation. This seems to be a direct result that doctors do not spend enough time with patients (44%). Around a third of the patients also believe that doctors show a lack of respect for not being punctual for appointments.

China patients (55%) and Germany (51%) are particularly upset with the limited time they receive from their physicians. Chinese patients are also more likely than respondents in other countries to tell their doctors do not explain the medical terminology.

On the other hand, in Australia (55%), France (48%) and United States.UU. (46%) patients are much more concerned about the lack of timeliness of medical

“”Clearly, people not experiencing the level of service and respect that are seen in other areas in their medical clinics”, said Chris DeAngelis, Vice President of SSI, Strategic Initiatives. “When we look across 23 countries, we see that only 3 out of every 10 patients rate the care they receive from their physicians as excellent – and less than half would recommend their doctors.”

Around the world, the lack of willingness of patients to recommend their doctors is mainly for long periods of waiting (26%). The only exception is China, where the reason number one by which patients would not recommend your doctor is “the lack of medical knowledge” (44%). In fact, more than half of Chinese patients indicate that their doctors need to improve both the instructions given in the monitoring of the care and thoroughness of the tests, areas that only 12% of patients in the United States.UU. and one fifth of patients globally see as problems.

“Although there are serious problems in the doctor-patient relationship in all countries, the respondents Chinese seem more unhappy with their doctors”, commented David Kweskin, senior Vice President of TRiG. “For example, while 43% of Australia patients and nearly a third of the United States.”UU., United Kingdom and Sweden indicate that the care provided by their doctors is excellent, only 8% of Chinese surveyed believe that they have a great care. In addition, 62 per cent of Chinese patients say there is a lack of respect in their doctors compared with 12% of patients in the United States.U.S. “.

“Only a quarter of patients are satisfied with their participation in treatment decisions

SSI and TRiG studies show that only a quarter of patients are satisfied with their participation in treatment decisions. Nearly half of patients from around the world (46%) say that they would be happier if the doctors explained the process of treatment and possible side effects in more detail. In particular, the Chinese participants (72%) are seeking explanations more detailed.

Around the world, “listen to the concerns of patients”, is the second option more selected (37%) when the patient named action which would increase their satisfaction with the decision of the treatment process. Once again, it was a particularly noticeable issue among Chinese respondents (64%). Other key improvements that patients would like to see would be that the doctors were more time discussing options (32 per cent at the global level) and a greater availability of the literature on specific medical conditions (23% globally).

Ideas drawn from two global studies

Ideas about the doctor-patient relationship are taken from two global studies. The first is an online study of TRiG made 22.581 adults in 23 countries – carried out by World Independent Network of Market Research (WIN (TM)), founded by TRiG. The second – designed to delve into the reasons behind the results of TRiG – is a SSI from more than 5,000 U.S. adults online study.UU., United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Australia, China, Singapore and Sweden.
