Abstract:
INTRODUCTION:The Aragon Stroke Care Plan (PAIA) was created in 2008 within the framework of the Spanish National Health System. Monitoring hospital care of strokes by means of periodic audits was defined as one of its lines of work. AIM:To determine the quality of the hospital care process for stroke patients in Aragon by using quality indicators. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Three audits were carried out (in the years 2008, 2010 and 2012) following the same methodology, based on the retrospective review of a representative sample of admissions due to stroke in each of the general hospitals belonging to the Aragonese Health Service. Information was collected on 48 indicators selected according to their scientific evidence or clinical relevance. RESULTS:Altogether 1011 cases were studied (331 in the first audit, and 340 in the second and the third). Thirty-one indicators showed a significant improvement (some of the most notable being the indicators of quality of the medical record, neurological assessment, initial preventive measures and, especially relevant, performing the swallowing test), two underwent a decline in their condition (related with rehabilitation treatment) and 15 did not register any significant variation. CONCLUSIONS:The implementation of the PAIA has given rise to a notable improvement in most of the quality indicators evaluated, which reflects an ongoing improvement in hospital stroke care. The progressive generalisation of specialised care and the creation of stroke units are some of the determining factors. TITLE:El audit como herramienta de mejora continua en el Plan de Atencion al Ictus de Aragon. :Introduccion. El Plan de Atencion al Ictus de Aragon (PAIA) se creo en 2008 en el marco de la Estrategia Nacional en Ictus del Sistema Nacional de Salud. La monitorizacion de la atencion hospitalaria al ictus mediante auditorias periodicas se definio como una de sus lineas de trabajo. Objetivo. Determinar la calidad del proceso asistencial hospitalario prestado al paciente con ictus en Aragon mediante el uso de indicadores de calidad. Materiales y metodos. Se realizaron tres audits (en los años 2008, 2010 y 2012) siguiendo la misma metodologia, basada en la revision retrospectiva de una muestra representativa de ingresos por ictus en cada uno de los hospitales generales del Servicio Aragones de Salud. Se recogio informacion sobre 48 indicadores seleccionados segun su evidencia cientifica o relevancia clinica. Resultados. Se estudiaron 1.011 casos (331 en el primer audit, y 340 en el segundo y en el tercero). Treinta y un indicadores presentaron una mejoria significativa (entre ellos destacan los indicadores de calidad de la historia clinica, de evaluacion neurologica, las medidas preventivas iniciales y, con especial relevancia, la realizacion de test de deglucion), dos sufrieron empeoramiento (relacionados con el tratamiento rehabilitador) y 15 no registraron variaciones significativas. Conclusiones. La implantacion del PAIA ha supuesto una mejoria notable en la mayoria de los indicadores de calidad evaluados, reflejo de una mejora continua en la atencion hospitalaria del ictus. La generalizacion progresiva de la atencion especializada y la creacion de las areas de ictus son algunos de los factores determinantes.
