Environmental predictors of Sars-CoV-2 infection incidence in Catalonia (northwestern Mediterranean)
Numerous studies have explored whether and how the spread of the SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), responds to environmental conditions without reaching consistent answers. Sociodemographic factors, such as variable population density and mobility, as well as the lack of effective epidemiological monitoring, make it difficult to establish robust correlations. Here we carry out a regional cross-correlation stu…
Aerobic capacity and mitochondrial function in bipolar disorder
Our preliminary data showed that lower basal oxygen consumption may be linked to greater mitochondrial respiratory capacity, and maximum oxygen uptake during the exercise task was associated with lower basal mitochondrial respiration, suggesting that lower oxygen requirements could be associated with greater mitochondrial capacity. These findings should be replicated in larger samples stratified for manic and depressive states
Applicability of the adjusted morbidity groups algorithm for healthcare programming
The flexibility of the AMG, together with its ability to support policymakers and clinical sector, could favour its implementation in different scenarios across Europe. A clear strategy for the adoption of HRA tools and related key elements and lessons learnt for a successful transferability at the EU level were defined. HRA strategies should be considered a pillar of healthcare policies and programming to achieve person-centred care and promote …
Toward Sustainable Adoption of Integrated Care for Prevention of Unplanned Hospitalizations
A digitally enabled adaptive case management approach to foster collaborative work and personalization of care, as well as organizational re-engineering, are endorsed for value-based prevention of unplanned hospitalizations
Toward Adoption of Health Risk Assessment in Population-Based and Clinical Scenarios
Successful adoption of the AMG algorithm was achieved in the two sites confirming transferability. Marche identified the key requirements for a population-based HRA strategy, whereas Viljandi Hospital proved its potential for clinical use paving the way toward value-based healthcare strategies
Role of Co-creation for Large-Scale Sustainable Adoption of Digitally Supported Integrated Care
Evidence-based co-creation, combining appropriate methodologies and a structured evaluation framework, was key to address challenges associated with sustainable prehabilitation service adoption, scalability and transferability
Sustainability of local renewable energy projects
Local energy projects have been associated with several benefits for the local community like social cohesion, economic gains, new skills, and environmental awareness. Yet, there is limited research on whether the projects fulfill their sustainability promises, and how the local community perceive the benefits. This research introduces a novel framework to assess the success of a local renewable energy project based on the perceptions of the loca…
From local island energy to degrowth? Exploring democracy, self-sufficiency, and renewable energy production in Greece and Spain”
The energy sector is at the center of the current economic system, and of literature and activism on degrowth, which questions the sustainability of current models of energy use. Local and small-scale energy systems may have the potential to reduce energy and resource consumption and to advance degrowth-related ideals of energy democracy, self-sufficiency, and local production. In the present paper we link a discussion on degrowth and local energ…
Implementation of digital health tools for scalability of a prehabilitation service
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
Implementation of Home Hospitalization and Early Discharge as an Integrated Care Service
Home Hospitalization has proven efficacy, but its effectiveness and potential as an Integrated Care Service in a real world setting deserves to be explored.Objective: To evaluate implementation and 10 years follow-up of Home Hospitalization and Early Discharge as an Integrated Care Service in an urban healthcare district in Barcelona.Methods: Prospective study with pragmatic assessment. Patients: Surgical and medical acute and exacerbated chronic…
What does it take to make integrated care work
Within the EU, there are 10 million people with chronic heart failure (CHF), 20 million people with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), and 60 million people with diabetes (DM). These three conditions alone cost the EU healthcare systems around €125 billion a year.Care coordination and telehealth (CC&TH) services are an effective way to treat these patients in their homes. However, the adoption of these services is relatively slow. A p…
Selfie, a novel Horizon2020 project on integrated care for multi-morbidity
Introduction: SELFIE is a new EU-Horizon2020 funded project, which started on September 1st 2015 and is entitled “Sustainable intEgrated care modeLs for multi-morbidity: delivery, FInancing and performance”. SELFIE stands out from other EU-funded projects on integrated care by adopting a broad health economic approach. SELFIE will perform empirical research of promising integrated care models which specifically target individuals with multi-morbi…
Analysis of Casuistry and Results of the Implementation of a Care Programme in Ten Sub-Acute Care Units in Catalonia
Introduction: Several studies show that a high percentage of people admitted to acute care hospitals could be treated in alternative care facilities of less intensity. The hospitalisation of fragile elderly people or people with chronic illnesses can give rise to various complications, as well as represent a high cost in terms of healthcare.In recent years, as an alternative to conventional hospitalisation, a number of new specific units have bee…
Health risk assessment and stratification in an integrated care scenario
Background: Health risk assessment and stratification have proven highly relevant for large-scale implementation of integrated care by facilitating services design and case identification.Aim: The principal objective was to analyse five health-risk assessment strategies used in the five regions participating in the Advancing Care Coordination and TeleHealth Deployment (ACT) program (www.act-programme.eu): Scotland (UK), Basque Country (ES), Catal…
Comparison of predictive risk modeling among 5 European regions in the ACT project
Background: Predictive risk modeling elaborated from large population-based datasets using citizens traits, including historical information on use of healthcare resources, as potential predictors have shown to be useful mainly for two purposes: (i) to design health policies, with a preventive approach, in a given geographical area; and, (ii) to identify individuals with high risk for presenting undesirable health events (case finding) such as ho…
Integrated care services
The four integrated care services showed high potential to enhance health outcomes with cost-containment. Change management, technological approach and legal issues were major factors modulating the success of the deployment. The project generated a business plan to foster service sustainability and health innovation. Deployment strategies require site-specific adaptations
Assessing the organizational change towards care coordination and telehealth. ACT Programme
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 2.913 (2021 JCR, received in June 2022)The IJIC 20th Anniversary Issue was published in 2021
Opiates or cocaine
STUDY OBJECTIVE--To describe temporal and geographical variations in mortality from acute reactions to opiates or cocaine and the demographic and toxicological characteristics of persons who died from these in major Spanish cities between 1983 and 1991. DESIGN--Descriptive study. Data were obtained retrospectively from pathologists' reports. SETTING--Cities of Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Zaragoza, and Bilbao. SUBJECTS--Deaths from acute…
