Relational Continuity of Chronic Patients with Primary and Secondary Care Doctors
Despite relational continuity (RC) with the doctor being key to care quality for chronic patients, particularly in fragmented healthcare systems, like many in Latin America (LA), little is known about RC and its attributes, particularly regarding specialists. Aim: We aim to analyse chronic patients' perceptions of RC with primary (PC) and secondary (SC) care doctors, and record changes between 2015 and 2017 in the public healthcare networks of si…
Assessing the impact of clinical coordination interventions on the continuity of care for patients with chronic conditions
Although fragmentation in the provision of services is considered an obstacle to effective health care, there is scant evidence on the impact of interventions to improve care coordination between primary care and secondary care in terms of continuity of care—i.e. from the patient perspective—particularly in Latin America (LA). Within the framework of the Equity-LA II project, interventions to improve coordination across care levels were implement…
Care continuity across levels of care perceived by patients with chronic conditions in six Latin-American countries
OBJECTIVE: To analyse the care continuity across levels of care perceived by patients with chronic conditions in public healthcare networks in six Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay), and to explore associated factors. METHOD: Cross-sectional study by means of a survey conducted to a random sample of chronic patients in primary care centres of the study networks (784 per country) using the questionnai…

The description of the experience presented in this article is based on the assessment of the course …
Understanding the factors influencing the implementation of participatory interventions to improve care coordination. An analytical framework based on an evaluation in Latin America
Healthcare coordination is considered key to improving care quality. Although participatory action research (PAR) has been used effectively to bridge the gap between evidence and practice in other areas, little is known about the key success factors of its use in healthcare organizations. This article analyses the factors influencing the implementation of PAR interventions to improve clinical coordination from the perspective of actors in public …
Understanding communication breakdown in the outpatient referral process in Latin America
An adequate use of referral and reply letters-the main form of communication between primary care (PC) and out-patient secondary care (SC)-helps to avoid medical errors, test duplications and delays in diagnosis. However, it has been little studied to date in Latin America. The aim is to determine the level and characteristics of PC and SC doctors' use of referral and reply letters and to explore influencing factors in public healthcare networks …
Doctors' experience of coordination across care levels and associated factors. A cross-sectional study in public healthcare networks of six Latin American countries
Improving coordination between primary care (PC) and secondary care (SC) has become a policy priority in recent years for many Latin American public health systems looking to reinforce a healthcare model based on PC. However, despite being a longstanding concern, it has scarcely been analyzed in this region. This paper analyses the level of clinical coordination between PC and SC experienced by doctors and explores influencing factors in public h…
La municipalisation de la santé publique
Les enclaves de pauvreté et la résurgence d'épidémies anciennes et nouvelles modifient les cadres et les échelles de la santé publique. Le retour des notions de milieu à risques justifie la mobilisation des collectivités locales, notamment les municipalités urbaines. A l'hygiénisme du siècle dernier et aux politiques curatives, cette nouvelle conjoncture urbaine ajoute des configurations institutionnelles variables qui se mobilisent autant sur le…
