Healthcare in Catalunya

8th April 2016 by Rainer Hobrack

The facilities in a public healthcare unit is Spain is far better than any other European country. The most significant difference between the health care system of Spain is its nursing and Patient Care. They provide the best services to the Patient. The hospital unit knows that the Patient will be comfortable with their own people so they allow the visitors to stay  with the patient for 24 hours.

Patient-centred care refers to a best possible care system in which the patients should hold the core priority. They should be treated in a best possible way and all concerns should be focused on their safety and striving for efficient operations. However, it is concerned with making a support system which will take the optimum care of patient encounters.

The main intention of implementing such a Patient oriented Care performance system is to make available

an atmosphere to create, implement and maintain care coordination practice that results the best patient outcome. It also gives you the standard measure to design, implement, plan and maintain quality initiatives and measurement activities regarding patient care.

You cannot get the drugs like contraceptive pill and some important antibiotics without a prescription in some countries. But in Spanish chemist’s counter you can get all the prescription drugs at a 60 percent discount. Even pensioners get the drugs for free.

Many of the people in Spain, Cataluya and Barcelona also go for private insurance. The best part of the private health insurance is that you will get a very good specialist service with much lower waiting times.

Thus to establish a patient-centred care system a medical practice should maintain effective patient flow and establishing appropriate quality benchmarks. They should set standards of care so that a uniformity can be maintained over the whole organization. Thus, there are a number of key factors that should be considered while thinking to establish an ideal Patient-Centred medical practice.

At first you should consider an efficient, practical design, which should be a perfect blend of enhanced workflow and the wise use of technology. The process should be designed in such a way that it should reduce the overhead expenditure and the staffing costs. If the overhead cost of the organization can be reduced, then the medical practitioner need not require seeing more patients to cover their costs, hence they can spend more time.

Secondly, a perfect medical practice needs all the aspect of the practice designed with accordance with the need and requirements of the Patients. The main objective should be developing a good doctor-patient relationship. So the practices should be patient oriented keeping in view their ease and comfort is the most significant component.

The third thing that has to be taken care of is nothing but the Quality of the service. The medical practice should take control of the measurement that how they are treating the patients. They should work towards demonstrating their value to others.
