collectiu @ 00:15
Madrid 16/12/2010 Foundation Quality and Excellence in Oncology ( ECO), formed by 23 department heads of the main English hospitals, advocates developing new organizational models that enable the creation the figure of the head oncologist, so that patients can always visit the same doctor and lengthen attention span.
Today, the increased incidence of cancer, which affects 1.5 million English and is expected to reach 220,000 new cases in 2015, has made oncological consultations are overcrowded and desired spend less time to care for the sick. Thus, experts of ECO, the limited duration of the current consultations reduce the communication time between doctor and patient, thus preventing the information received is properly undermines the quality of care and, consequently, the quality of life the patient.
These failures in communication time also causes a lack of recognition of the physician towards the patient and vice versa, which, according to experts ECO Foundation, is absolutely necessary to build safety into the patient producing a loss trust and concern for the monitoring of their own evolution. New organizational models and oncologists header
To improve the quality of care, the Foundation committed ECO new organizational models that prevent doctors have excessive changes in their daily activities so that they can bring a deeper and closer monitoring of patients assigned. In addition, since ECO propose the creation of a new set: the oncologist physician. "The patient wants someone by name, I can call by name and use it whenever necessary. Someone who knows your case, who knows what is reported and what not, which recognizes and which is really confident. In short, a head oncologist, "said Dr. Moreno Nogueira, a member of the Scientific Secretariat of the Foundation. The appropriate communication with patients in their own truth or the truth that he needs to know at all times, ask what tests and why they ask, the information on the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment monitoring requires several consultations should be dispender by the same doctor. "It is better that you always see the same doctor who does the best doctor ever," he said. Shortage of oncologists
From ECO suggest that the loss of confidence and lack of recognition is caused by the rotation of doctors in oncology services themselves. In this regard, Manuel Constenla ECO Foundation patron and head of service Montecelo Pontevedra Hospital, said the guards, health plan, external meetings, conferences and substitutions of residents, among other things, assume that not always the same doctor who takes care and monitoring of a patient, so this commitment to patient failure. The shortage of specialists in oncology with which hospitals are now due to the increased incidence of disease and increased survival of patients with cancer, makes the provision of quality care. In Spain there are currently 891 practicing medical oncologists and their ratio is 1.5 doctors per 100,000 inhabitants, a figure considered insufficient ECO Foundation. According to Dr. Constenla, it is necessary to increase the number of medical specialists in these services, as the predictable increase in cancer cases will demand a greater and more effective response by the NHS.
