Itinerari d’EA des de Tamariu fins al far de Sant Sebastià

Creació d’un itinerari d’educació ambiental des de Tamariu fins al far de Sant Sebastià, al municipi de Palafrugell, per tal de sensibilitzar i conscienciar la societat sobre la necessitat de conservar el medi.S’ha fet una diagnosi per tal d’estudiar les mancances i necessitats que sorgeixen al llarg del camí. A partir d’aquesta anàlisi s’ha elaborat una sèrie de propostes divulgatives i didàctiques per tal d’adequar l’itinerari com a eina d’educació ambiental

Adaptation au codage CIM-10 de 15 indicateurs de la sécurité des patients proposés par l'Agence étasunienne pour la recherche et la qualité des soins de santé (AHRQ) [ICD-10 adaptation of 15 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality patient safety indicators].

BACKGROUND: In the United States, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has developed 20 Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) to measure the occurrence of hospital adverse events from medico-administrative data coded according to the ninth revision of the international classification of disease (ICD-9-CM). The adaptation of these PSIs to the WHO version of ICD-10 was carried out by an international consortium. METHODS: Two independent teams transcoded ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes proposed by the AHRQ into ICD-10-WHO. Using a Delphi process, experts from six countries evaluated each code independently, stating whether it was "included", "excluded" or "uncertain". During a two-day meeting, the experts then discussed the codes that had not obtained a consensus, and the additional codes proposed. RESULTS: Fifteen PSIs were adapted. Among the 2569 proposed diagnosis codes, 1775 were unanimously adopted straightaway. The 794 remaining codes and 2541 additional codes were discussed. Three documents were prepared: (1) a list of ICD-10-WHO codes for the 15 adapted PSIs; (2) recommendations to the AHRQ for the improvement of the nosological frame and the coding of PSI with ICD-9-CM; (3) recommendations to the WHO to improve ICD-10. CONCLUSIONS: This work allows international comparisons of PSIs among the countries using ICD-10. Nevertheless, these PSIs must still be evaluated further before being broadly used.

De la cohérence des modèles d'évaluation monétaire des atteintes à la santé

Pour estimer le coût des atteintes à la santé, on recourt généralement conjointement à plusieurs méthodes sans s'interroger sur la cohérence d'ensemble du modèle d'évaluation. L'addition des estimations obtenues par la méthode du capital humain et des résultats d'une évaluation contingente en est un exemple. Toutefois ce procédé ne repose sur aucun fondement théorique. Face à ce constat, l'article propose un modèle d'évaluation du coût de la morbidité et de la mortalité, modèle basé sur l'économie du bien-être. Le cas des blessures mortelles causées par les accidents de la route sert d'illustration à ces propositions. Cette illustration est concrétisée dans le contexte helvétique par un exemple chiffré.

Complexité, médecine générale et réformes des systèmes de santé [Complexity, general practice and reforms of health systems].

The family doctor facing complexity must decide in situations of low certainty and low agreement. Complexity is in part subjective but can also be measured. Changes in the health systems aim to reduce health costs. They tend to give priority to simple situations and to neglect complexity. One role of an academic institute of family medicine is to present and promote the results of scientific research supporting the principles of family medicine, taking into account both the local context and health systems reforms. In Switzerland the new challenge is the introduction of managed care.

Santé buccale: déterminants sociaux d'un terrain majeur des inégalités [Oral health: social determinants of a health inequality]

The oral health of disadvantaged social groups is worse at all the ages than that of the favored groups. If tooth decay prevalence decreases, this disease is still unequally distributed: 20% of the children, those with the weakest socio-economic statute (SES), concentrate 60% of the decays. Edentulism strikes significantly more people with weak SES. The inequalities of oral health reflect those of general health. Evidence of the inequalities in oral health is exposed even in the developed countries. Different models of intervention are presented: risk groups identification and targeting by specific programs; oral health community approach which includes socio-economic and public health measures aiming all the population; insurance approach to be combined with the preceding ones.
