Quality management of neurosurgery services in a public hospital in Ecuador
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: measuring the result is a fundamental part of good medical practice, defining the quality of care and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions, the results act as endpoints in clinical trials to guide evidence-based practice, these being the protagonists of the individual performance of surgeons. As medical practice shifts from disease-focused to patient-focused care, patient-informed outcomes have taken precedence in health. The measures may not address what matters most to patients, although the holistic effects of the disease on multiple aspects of people's well-being are increasingly recognized, such as the usefulness of interventions focused on quality of life and patient symptoms, in addition to biological measures of disease. Methodology: A qualitative, descriptive, and reflective study will be conducted that aims to identify the factors that influence the quality of life after surgical procedures. Results: They will be measured by interviewing patients with a survey on the SERVQUAL model in person or by telephone to patients treated in the neurosurgery service who underwent various surgical procedures. Discussion: There is a need to perform a PROM in a protocol in neurosurgical patients to address the unmet needs of patients after undergoing neurosurgical procedures.
