          Abstract

          RESUMEN Objetivos: Evaluar los beneficios de la teleconsulta frente a la consulta presencial convencional en pacientes con deterioro de la integridad cutánea. Metodología: Estudio piloto de intervención controlado, aleatorizado, abierto. Sujetos de estudio: pacientes con deterioro de la integridad cutánea pertenecientes a los centros de salud urbanos. Se crearon dos grupos, uno sobre el que se realizó la intervención a través de la teleconsulta y otro grupo control donde la consulta y la valoración se hizo de forma presencial. Recogida de los datos mediante observación, entrevistas, cuestionarios y escalas validadas. Resultados: Se realizaron un total de 31 consultas desde los centros de salud, 12 de las cuales fueron de forma presencial (38,7%) y 19 a través de la teleconsulta (61,3%). Las lesiones consultadas fueron en su mayoría de etiología venosa. Estos pacientes presentaban alteración de su calidad de vida. Se obtuvo una media de mejoría de 6 puntos en la escala PUSH en la modalidad presencial frente a 8 puntos en la teleconsulta, siendo menor el tiempo en que se consigue la epitelización de las lesiones en esta última. Conclusiones: La teleconsulta se perfila como un nuevo sistema organizativo, una nueva manera de organizar y gestionar la provisión de los servicios sanitarios en beneficio de los pacientes, profesionales y sistema sanitario en general, estableciendo un canal de comunicación rápido, fluido, efectivo y eficiente que repercuta directamente en el paciente disminuyendo tiempos para la resolución de su problema de salud, evitando desplazamientos innecesarios y disminuyendo los costes.

          ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate the benefits of teleconsultation compared to the conventional face-to-face consultation in patients with cutaneous integrity deterioration. Methodology: Pilot study of controlled, randomized, open intervention. Subjects of study: patients with deterioration of the cutaneous integrity belonging to the urban health centers. Two groups were created, one on which the intervention will be carried out through teleconsultation and another control group where the consultation and Assessment was done in person. Collection of data through observation, interviews, questionnaires and validated scales. Results: A total of 31 consultations were carried out from the health centers, 12 of which were in person (38.7%) and 19 through teleconsultation (61.3%). The lesions consulted are mostly of venous origin. These patients present altered quality of life. A mean improvement of 6 points is obtained in the PUSH scale in the face-to-face modality versus 8 points in the teleconsultation, the time in which the epithelialization of the lesions in the latter is achieved. Conclusions: Teleconsultation is emerging as a new organizational system, a new way of organizing and managing the provision of health services for the benefit of patients, professionals and the health system in general. Establishing a fast, fluid, effective and efficient communication channel that has a direct impact on the patient, reducing time for the resolution of his health problem, avoiding unnecessary movements and reducing costs.

          The cost of pressure ulcers in the UK.

          To estimate the annual cost of treating pressure ulcers in the UK. Costs were derived from a bottom-up methodology, based on the daily resources required to deliver protocols of care reflecting good clinical practice. Health and social care system in the UK. Patients developing a pressure ulcer. A bottom-up costing approach is used to estimate treatment cost per episode of care and per patient for ulcers of different grades and level of complications. Also, total treatment cost to the health and social care system in the UK. The cost of treating a pressure ulcer varies from pound 1,064 (Grade 1) to pound 10,551 (Grade 4). Costs increase with ulcer grade because the time to heal is longer and because the incidence of complications is higher in more severe cases. The total cost in the UK is pound 1.4- pound 2.1 billion annually (4% of total NHS expenditure). Most of this cost is nurse time. Pressure ulcers represent a very significant cost burden in the UK. Without concerted effort this cost is likely to increase in the future as the population ages. To the extent that pressure ulcers are avoidable, pressure damage may be indicative of clinical negligence and there is evidence that litigation could soon become a significant threat to healthcare providers in the UK, as it is in the USA.

            Two Decades of Teledermatology: Current Status and Integration in National Healthcare Systems

            Teledermatology, originating in 1995, has been one of the first telemedicine services to see the light of day. Two decades of teledermatology research is summarized in this review. A literature search was conducted in PubMed. Search terms included “teledermatology,” “teledermoscopy,” “tele wound care,” “telederm*,” “(dermatology OR dermoscopy OR wound care OR skin) AND (telemedicine OR ehealth or mhealth OR telecare OR teledermatology OR teledermoscopy).” Inclusion criteria were (i) Dutch or English written papers and (ii) publication year from 2011 to present or (iii) (systematic) reviews with publication year before 2011. One hundred fourteen publications and 14 (systematic) reviews were included for full text reading. Focus of this review is on the following outcomes: (i) actors (primary, secondary, tertiary), (ii) purposes (consultation, triage, follow-up, education) and subspecialties (tele-wound care, burn care, teledermoscopy (teledermatoscopy), teledermatopathology, and mobile teledermatology), (iii) delivery modalities and technologies (store and forward, real-time interactive, and hybrid modalities using web-based systems, email, mobile phones, tablets, or videoconferencing equipment), (iv) business models, (v) integration of teledermatology into national healthcare systems, (vi) preconditions and requirements for implementation (security, ethical issues, responsibility, reimbursement, user satisfaction, technique, and technology standards), and (vii) added value. To conclude, teledermatology is an efficient and effective healthcare service compared to in-person care. Teledermatology reduces patients’ travel time and waiting time, avoids (unnecessary) dermatologic visits, and improves access of care to underserved patients.

              Epidemiología de las úlceras por presión en España en 2013: 4.º Estudio Nacional de Prevalencia

              Objetivos: 1) establecer la prevalencia de úlceras por presión (UPP) en hospitales, centros sociosanitarios (CSS) y atención primaria en España; 2) determinar la frecuencia de UPP nosocomiales (generadas durante la estancia en hospitales o CSS), y 3) describir las características de los pacientes y de las lesiones identificadas. Métodos: encuesta epidemiológica, transversal, mediante cuestionario dirigido a profesionales que trabajen en centros sanitarios y sociosanitarios, públicos o privados, en España. Realizada entre el 1 de marzo y el 31 de mayo de 2013. Variables: descripción de los centros, población ingresada o atendida y pacientes con UPP, características demográficas y clínicas de los pacientes. Se calcula prevalencia bruta y prevalencia media para cada uno de los tres niveles asistenciales. Resultados: se obtuvieron 509 cuestionarios válidos, un 66,7% son de hospitales, un 21,6% de atención primaria y un 16,7% de CSS. Las cifras de prevalencia obtenidas son: en hospitales, en adultos 7,87% (IC 95%: 7,31-8,47%); en unidades pediátricas de hospitales, 3,36% (IC 95%: 1,44-7,61%); en CSS, 13,41% (IC 95%: 12,6-14,2%), y en atención primaria, 0,44% (IC 95%: 0,41-0,47%) entre mayores de 65 años y 8,51% (IC 95%: 7,96-9,1%) entre pacientes en programas de atención domiciliaria. La prevalencia es más alta en unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI), llegando al 18%. Son UPP nosocomiales un 65,6% del total y solo un 29,4% se han producido en los domicilios. El mayor porcentaje de las lesiones es de categoría 2, con un tiempo de evolución de 30 días (mediana) y un área de 6 cm² (mediana). Conclusiones: la prevalencia de UPP en España no ha disminuido en 2013 respecto a años anteriores, e incluso se ha duplicado en los CSS. En hospitales, las UCI son las unidades con mayor prevalencia. En los CSS, hay una prevalencia más alta en los privados frente a los públicos. Casi dos tercios de todas las UPP son de origen nosocomial (hospitales o CSS), lo que indica un fallo en la prevención de estas lesiones.
