The breadth, complexity, and complexity of the healthcare system are so vast that it is vital to define the objectives and work to be carried out. Based on the experience gained over the years, the many contributions received, and the work carried out, the lines of work for the Venturi Project have been defined.
Clearly, these are not "red lines" because, as has been the case to date, the reality and evolution of work can lead to changes that reflect this "knowledge."
Line 1. Response to healthcare demand
Demand determines the type and quantity of healthcare resources. Quantifying it, understanding its dynamics, analyzing it, and forecasting it are key to understanding and improving the healthcare system's response.
Line 3. Oncological process
The approach to oncological pathology and its care process is, without a doubt, one of the greatest challenges facing medicine and healthcare systems. Not to mention the wide variety of pathologies encompassed within cancer.
The severity of diagnostic delays, the growing multitude of diagnostic tools and treatments, and the high number of professionals involved make efficient care an essential requirement.
Line 5. Surgical activity
System efficiency and optimization require increasing the healthcare system's surgical response and meeting the growing surgical demand resulting from waiting lists.
A comprehensive analysis of surgical performance, as well as available resources, and an estimate of demand and its evolution are essential for the system to respond to the healthcare demands of the population.
Line 2. Equity in the health system
As a concept, equity in the healthcare system is an undisputed principle accepted by all. Its subjective nature and the multiple parameters that determine it give rise to different interpretations depending on the emphasis each person places on it.
Line 4. Primary care
If primary care doesn't work, neither does the rest of the care process.
It seems the primary care mess is always ongoing. It's a classic. For years we've been reading and hearing about the model that should be followed, its role in the healthcare system, underestimating even its entire workforce. It's the eternal axiom of "lack of resources," rarely quantified in detail, let alone monitored.
Line 6. Human Resources
It is obvious that professionals are key to the Spanish healthcare system and, therefore, to achieving improvements in efficiency and optimization.
Having a human resources model that stems from the reality of human resources within the organizational and social framework is always essential, but especially in times as complex as the present.
