Original Title:
Programa de asistencia multidisciplinar individualizado en paciente frágil (PAMI)
Authors' objectives:
Improve the perceived quality of care and reduce the number of admissions and visits to emergency services
Authors' results and conclusions:
The perceived quality of care is measured by means of focus groups. The two most highly valued elements were the availability of the referral Doctor-Nurse and improved accessibility in the case of flareups. Therapeutic compliance was 97.9% (IC 95% 95.4 to 98,83). The number of admission days was reduced by 60.7% (CI 95% 58.7 to 62.7) and the number of visits to the Emergency Services was reduced by 77% (CI 95% 73.2 to 80.3).
CONCLUSIONS
Organisational measures, using the resources currently available, can reduce the number of visits to the emergency services, days of admission and improve the quality of care perceived by patients readmitted with heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
