Evaluate the state of Portuguese healthcare
Analyse its evolution through the past eight years (2000-2007)
Compare the activity and quality indicators among the different Portuguese regions.
Motivations of the study
Indicators
Importance• Mechanisms to assess quality and accessibility of hospitals
• Factors for accounting and financial directing
What are quality and activity/productivity indicators?
Indicators
Health care quality indicators
• Measures which contain relevant information concerning services conditions
• Reflect the health status of a population and help monitoring health conditions
Indicators
Activity/Productivity indicators
• Evaluate hospital performance
• Express the relation between applied resources and goals achieved
• Related with public access to healthcare services
Indicators
Indicators
Both quality and activity indicators are susceptible:• Actualization of evaluative parameters• Modification of their relevance in hospital assessment
Indicators are not fixed evaluative parameters!
Indicators Domain
Mortality Quality
Hospitalization time Quality and Activity/Productivity
Postponed surgeries Quality
Ambulatory episodes Activity/Productivity
Ambulatory surgeries Activity/Productivty
Births by Caeserean-section Activity/Productivity
Main diagnostics Quality
Surgical procedures, complications Quality
Indicators
• How have health indicators evolved, in Portugal, during the past 8 years, how is that reflected in the quality and accessibility of healthcare services an in which ways can they be improved?
Research Question and Aims
Research Question
Research Question and Aims
Participants and Methods
Study Participants
Target population:Portuguese continent population
Sampling Methods:No samples were taken from the dataset of
registers from private and public continental hospitals
Participants and Methods
Study Participants
Note: Analysis of only continent private and public hospitals recordsMadeira and the Azores archipelagos use a different system of classification
Inclusion and exclusion criteria: each indicator considers all registers, thus no need for criteria
Participants and Methods
Study Design
Descriptive – Indicators analysis will describe accessibility and quality parameters of hospitalsAnalytical – Less evident, only few relations are established between indicators
Observational – There was no intervention. Data was collected from observation of hospital’s registers
Longitudinal – The study consists of a data follow up through 2000 to 2007
Retrospective – Data was collected from registers in the pastProspective – Via the results obtained a future prospect of the healthcare system will be presented
Participants and Methods
Study Design
Secondary data – Data wasn’t specifically collected for this study
Participants and Methods
Data collection methods
Dataset provided by the Health Care System Central Administration (ACSS) containing all registers of public and private hospitals in the continent, from 2000 to 2007
Microsoft Office Excel:
• Graphics and tables
SPSS • Data filtering
(according to each indicator)
• Statistical calculations and graphics (Planned
Statistical Analysis)
Participants and Methods
Data collection methods
Variable description
Participants and Methods
Diagnosis Related Groups - DRG Classification system for patients admitted to
hospital
• Clinically coherent and homogenous groups• Consumption of resources
Variable description
Participants and Methods
The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM)
System of codes to diagnoses and procedures associated with hospital utilization
The ICD-9-CM consists of:• tabular list containing a numerical list of disease code numbers;• classification system for surgical, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedures
Participants and Methods
Variable descriptionThe International Classification of Diseases,
Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM)
Participants and Methods
Variable descriptionHospital IDHospital Location – Allows an analysis of the various regions through the hospitals there located.
Both allow a regional analysis according to hospitals location – NUTS
Participants and Methods
Variable descriptionNomenclature of territorial units for statistics (NUTS)
Level II: 7 units, of which 5 in the continent.
North
Centre
Alentejo
Algarve
Lisbon
Azores
MadeiraLevel III: 30 units, of which 28 in the continent
Level I: 3 units, of which 1 is the continent
Participants and Methods
Variable description
Gender – Division into two groups of analysis: men and women
Age – Stratification based on age
Birth Weight – Obstetrics services
Days of hospital stay – Hospitalization Time
Discharge date – Year division of each indicator essential to evaluate the evolution of indicators
– Economic impact• Target financing to needed medical areas
– Social impact• Improvement of quality of life
Expected Results
Future implications
• Portugal• Public and private hospitals• Quality indicators• Organization and administration
