Consolidation of the Catalan Congress of Clinical and Healthcare Management in Sitges and value-based care as a cornerstone
The Catalan Society of Healthcare Management (SCGS) has held the second edition of its Congress, which takes place every two years in Sitges, Barcelona, and brings together a large part of the sector for two days. The organizers have estimated around 1,200 attendees from all areas of management and the different levels of care, representatives of the Administration, healthcare providers, scientific societies, service providers, industry and associations.
In this edition, the scientific content has focused on six thematic axes based on the transformation of the model, value-based healthcare assessment, professional leadership, digitization of organizations and Artificial Intelligence, environmental sustainability and governance of the system and organizations. These six dimensions have occupied the sessions and debates organized in three parallel scenarios to which the scientific committee has invited the leading experts in the field.
The session "Implementation of patient-reported metrics for chronic conditions through the Naveta value-based telemedicine initiative: a multicenter retrospective observational study" inaugurated the 1st day of the Congress, presented by Jordi Campo, Director of Health at Costaisa on behalf of Salvador Herrera, to show the results of the use of PROMs and PREMs in the follow-up of chronic patients remotely. "The patient has become part of the treatment," said Campo, "and the use of PROMs and PREMs has been shown to have a positive impact on treatment and opens the door to being able to offer value-based care. But it must be rationalized and dosed to ensure adherence."
Pharmacists in External Patient Units in the Balearic Islands (FARUPEIB) are the main drivers of the use of these questionnaires in our country, and Costaisa is its technological partner for their development and implementation in the nearly 200 centers distributed throughout Spain. The use of PROMs and PREMs represents significant savings for the health system because they avoid travel, allow for agile intervention if any anomaly is detected, modulate treatments in response to results reported by patients themselves, and conduct population studies and comparisons on the effectiveness of health programs.
Costaisa has a close relationship with the SCGS and has been a sponsor of the Congress.
