| Objectives |
Process management in Andalusia is an important project which aims at the reanalysis of workflows that take place in health care, taking into account the multiplicity of scenarios, the participation of different professional groups and the sequential nature of the proceedings, in order to address health care processes integrally. From this perspective, the continuity of care, a proper coordination between levels of care, as well as the orientation towards outcomes are key elements for the improvement of the quality of health care.
The attainment of these objectives is sustained in a few basic elements:
Focus action on the citizen, taking into account their needs and expectations, and measuring their satisfaction.
Involve professionals in process management as an important part of it, making them the engines of change.
Incorporate the best clinical practice based on the best scientific evidence available,
Development of an integrated information system that provides the necessary information to evaluate interventions and sustain continuous improvement.
