Hacia un modelo de atención en salud para el siglo XXI: breve historia del modelo de atención integrada en Chile / Towards a Health Care Model for the 21st Century: a brief history of the integrated care model in Chile

El desarrollo y organización del sistema sanitario en Chile tuvo importantes cambios durante la segunda mitad del siglo pasado, los que permitieron al país mejorar sustantivamente algunos índices de salud poblacional. Por otra parte, tanto el cambio de paradigma biomédico que surgió en el mundo durante las últimas décadas del siglo XX y que se orientaba hacia un modelo biopsicosocial de salud, como la aparición del concepto de Atención Primaria de Salud (APS) como una estrategia de intervención social, se sumaron al cambio en el perfil epidemiológico y demográfico del país y a las expectativas de la población, para alzarse todos ellos como factores catalizadores de un nuevo cambio en la forma de organizar la atención de salud en Chile. Esto generó un espacio para el desarrollo y fortalecimiento del nivel primario de atención de salud y de la medicina ambulatoria, lo que impulsó también la aparición de una nueva generación de especialistas que fueran capaces de dar solución a la gran mayoría de los problemas de las personas y de las comunidades, los médicos especialistas en Medicina Familiar y Comunitaria. Esta nueva forma de organización sanitaria, actualmente vigente en Chile, y que se enmarca dentro del Modelo de Atención Integral de Salud iniciado a comienzos del siglo XXI, está basado en un sistema de salud sustentado en el modelo biopsicosocial y en la APS; y su eje primordial son las personas, las familias y las comunidades.

The development and organization of the health system in Chile underwent important changes during the second half of the last century that allowed the country to substantially improve some population health indices. On the other hand, both the change in the biomedical paradigm that emerged in the world during the last decades of the 20th century and which was oriented towards a biopsychosocial model of health, as well as the appearance of the concept of Primary Health Care as a social intervention strategy, they added to the change in the epidemiological and demographic profile of the country and the expectations of the population, all of them rising as catalysts for a new change in the way of organizing health care in Chile. This created a space for the development and strengthening of the primary level of health care and outpatient medicine, which also promoted the emergence of a new generation of specialists who were capable of solving the vast majority of people's problems. and from the communities, specialists in Family and Community Medicine. This new form of health organization, currently in force in Chile, and which is part of the Comprehensive Health Care Model initiated at the beginning of the 21st century, is based on a health system based on the biopsychosocial model and PHC; and its main axis are people, families and communities.

Comprehensive eye care - Issues, challenges, and way forward.

As we move from a disease-specific care model toward comprehensive eye care (CEC), there is a need for a more holistic and integrated approach involving the health system. It should encompass not only treatment, but also prevention, promotion, and rehabilitation of incurable blindness. Although a few models already exist, the majority of health systems still face the challenges in the implementation of CEC, mainly due to political, economic, and logistic barriers. Shortage of eye care human resources, lack of educational skills, paucity of funds, limited access to instrumentation and treatment modalities, poor outreach, lack of transportation, and fear of surgery represent the major barriers to its large-scale diffusion. In most low- and middle-income countries, primary eye care services are defective and are inadequately integrated into primary health care and national health systems. Social, economic, and demographic factors such as age, gender, place of residence, personal incomes, ethnicity, political status, and health status also reduce the potential of success of any intervention. This article highlights these issues and demonstrates the way forward to address them by strengthening the health system as well as leveraging technological innovations to facilitate further care.

Down syndrome in adults: success and challenge / Síndrome de Down em adultos: sucessos e desafios

The estimated average survival of people with Down syndrome (DS) is currently over 50 years of age. This demographic finding warrants attention of health professionals who will care for an increasing number of adults with DS. Clinical evaluation of adults with DS should correlate characteristics inherent to the age group, especially the peculiarities produced by the syndrome. The present article proposes the development of preventive and vaccination programs ­ according to gender and age ­ and screening of diseases and conditions associated with the syndrome: 1) endocrine diseases; 2) cardiac diseases; 3) mental health; 4) dental care; 5) sensory organs; 6) osteoarticular abnormalities; 7) skin and appendages; 8) gastrointestinal diseases; and 9) cancer. However, there is scant information on the impact of comorbidities on life expectancy and quality of life or on the social and hospital costs of adults with DS.

A estimativa da sobrevida média de indivíduos com síndrome de Down (SD) passa atualmente dos 50 anos de idade. Esse dado demográfico justifica a atenção de profissionais da saúde que prestarão cuidados a um número crescente de adultos com SD. A avaliação clínica desse grupo de pacientes adultos deve correlacionar características inerentes à faixa etária, principalmente as peculiaridades produzidas pela síndrome. O presente artigo propõe o desenvolvimento de programas de prevenção e vacinação ­ conforme gênero e idade ­ e triagem de doenças e quadros associados à síndrome: 1) doenças endócrinas; 2) doenças cardíacas; 3) saúde mental; 4) saúde bucal; 5) órgãos sensoriais; 6) anomalias osteoarticulares; 7) pele e anexos; 8) doenças gastrointestinais; 9) câncer. Entretanto, há poucas informações sobre o impacto das comorbidades na expectativa de vida e na qualidade de vida, além dos custos hospitalares e sociais de adultos com SD.

Mientras haya vida, hay todo: una mirada en la sexualidad del adulto mayor / While there is life, there is everything: a look at the elderly sexuality

Introducción.Desde un punto de vista integral, la sexualidad comprende aspectos de orden biopsicosocial. Los prejuiciosy el desconocimiento llevan a evitar hablar sobre este tema en la consulta con el adulto mayor (AM).Objetivo.Profundizar en la vivencia de la sexualidad del AM.Metodología.Estudio cualitativo, fenomenológico, realizado en dos centros de actividades recreativas para AM en SanMiguel de Tucumán, que incluyó 13 entrevistas semiestructuradas en profundidad a pacientes mayores de 60 años, 11 desexo femenino, seleccionados en forma intencional y por conveniencia en Agosto de 2018.Resultados.Existe una dicotomía entre quienes hablan del tema y quienes no; sin embargo, todos expresan el deseode naturalizarlo tanto en su círculo social como en la consulta médica. Los AM aceptan el proceso de envejecimiento,tienen una autopercepción positiva de su imagen y pese a los prejuicios, experiencias, comorbilidades y adversidades, seadaptan buscando formas para sentirse bien y disfrutar de una sexualidad plena.Conclusión.El envejecimiento y la sexualidad son conceptos dinámicos que confluyen con las experiencias de vida.Creemos que como médicos de familia es importante brindar una atención integral, abordando las diferentes dimensionesdel ser humano, incluyendo su sexualidad. (AU)

Introduction.Sexuality from an integral point of view includes aspects of biopsychosocial order. Prejudice and ignorancelead to avoid talking about this topic in the medical consultation with the Eldery.Objective.To deepen the experience of the sexuality of the Eldery.Methodology.Qualitative, phenomenological study, conducted in two centres of recreational activities for Senior Citizensin San Miguel de Tucumán, which included 13 in-depth semi-structured interviews to patients over 60 years of age, 11female, selected intentionally and for convenience in August 2018.Results.There is a dichotomy between those who talk about the subject and those who do not; however, all of themexpress the desire to naturalize it in both, their social circle and the medical consultation. The eldery patients acceptthe ageing process, have a positive self-perception of their image and despite prejudices, experiences, comorbidities andadversities, they adapt looking for ways to feel good and enjoy a full sexuality.Conclusion.Aging and sexuality are dynamic concepts that converge with life experiences. We believe that, as familydoctors, it is important to provide comprehensive care, addressing the different dimensions of the human being, wheresexuality is included. (AU)

Elderly patients with advanced NSCLC: The value of geriatric evaluation and the feasibility of CGA alternatives in predicting chemotherapy toxicity.

Cancer is primarily a disease of the elderly, with the incidence of older patients with cancer expected to increase in the coming years. Despite remarkable advances during the last decade, lung cancer remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the dominant (85-90%) subtype. At diagnosis, 50% of NSCLC patients are ≥70 years and 15%, over 80 years of age. Due to their under-representation in clinical trials, current treatment decisions for older patients with cancer are based on a low level of scientific evidence. The little evidence that exists suggests that chemotherapy is effective in elderly NSCLC patients, but also indicates that they are at more risk of chemotherapy toxicity than younger adults. However, if carefully selected and monitored, elderly patients can benefit from standard chemotherapy regimens. The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) has historically been adopted to identify elderly patients who are unfit for chemotherapy, yet in clinical practice this is often not feasible as it is too time-consuming. Two promising new tools have emerged - the CRASH and CARG scores - to assign patients to varying intensities of chemotherapy based on a pre-therapy risk assessment. The strengths and shortcomings of each tool were discussed by a group of six advisors with expertise in the treatment of NSCLC. Based on a literature review and on their personal experience, CRASH and CARG were considered feasible toxicity prediction tools, appropriate for implementation in routine clinical practice, with a potentially high impact in optimizing therapy selection for elderly patients with cancer.

Construcción de espacios grupales terapéuticos en el ámbito de la internación: relato de experiencia en una unidad de mediana estancia de la ciudad autónoma de Buenos Aires / Construction of therapeutic group spaces in the field of hospitalization: experience report in a medium-stay unit of the city autonomous of Buenos Aires

Este relato de experiencia describe el desarrollo de un dispositivo grupal de socialización en el abordaje de pacientes complejos en rehabilitación a partir del año 2016 en una Unidad de Mediana Estancia (UME) del Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires. Se partió de reconocer la posibilidad de trabajar en el marco de la psicología social de Pichon-Rivière adaptando la técnica del grupo operativo para ámbitos hospitalarios que generan alto nivel de estrés, desfuncionalización y disrupción de la vida cotidiana. En este relato describimos la conformación, en esta UME, de grupos operativos terapéuticos de pacientes con deterioro físico, cognitivo o en cuidados paliativos. La metodología para el análisis de esta experiencia se basó en el registro prospectivo narrativo de cada encuentro grupal. Presentamos una reflexión teórica sobre las adaptaciones al encuadre y a la planificación de cada actividad grupal, para lograr continuidad y pertenencia grupal, en los grupos operativos desarrollados en este tipo de contexto hospitalario. (AU)

This experience report describes the development of a socialization group device in the approach of complex patients in rehabilitation from 2016 on a Medium-Stay Unit (MSU) of the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires. It started by recognizing the possibility of working within the social psychology framework of Pichon-Rivière by adapting the technique of the operative group for hospital environments with high level of stress, defunctionalization and disruption of daily life. In this report we describe the conformation in this MSU of therapeutic operative groups of patients with physical, cognitive or palliative care impairment. The methodology for the analysis was based on the prospective narrative record of each group meeting. We present a theoretical reflection on the adaptations to the framing and the planning of each group activity. This allowed us to achieve continuity and group belonging in the operative groups developed in this hospital context. (AU)

Pharmaceutical Services and comprehensiveness 30 years after the advent of Brazil's Unified Health System. / Assistência Farmacêutica nos 30 anos do SUS na perspectiva da integralidade.

This article examines pharmaceutical services and access to essential medicines in Brazil during the 30 years since the advent of Brazil's Unified Health System from a comprehensiveness perspective. The following topics are addressed: the "realignment" of pharmaceutical services; human resources in pharmaceutical services; the essential medicines concept; the rational use of medicines; technological advances and drug manufacturing; and ethical regulation. With a strong regulatory focus and a structural framework centered on the National Medicines Policy, the past three decades represent a mixture of progress and setbacks, considering the national complexities of the healthcare system and the political, economic and social changes that have influenced policy and access to medicines, which is a key concern even in the world's richest countries, as the forums of discussion on global health have demonstrated. We show that major steps forward have been taken, highlighting that the recent fiscal austerity measures imposed by the government threaten to seriously undermine social progress.

Os autores analisam a Assistência Farmacêutica (AF) e o acesso a medicamentos no Brasil na perspectiva do princípio da integralidade nos 30 anos do SUS. A partir da sua inclusão no movimento de reforma sanitária, foram selecionados temas relevantes, incluindo a reorientação da AF, a questão de recursos humanos, o conceito de medicamentos essenciais, o uso apropriado de medicamentos, o desenvolvimento tecnológico e a produção industrial e a regulação ética. Com fortes componentes regulatórios e tendo a política nacional de medicamentos como eixo estruturante, as três décadas do SUS são confrontadas entre avanços e retrocessos, considerando a complexidade nacional, as mudanças políticas, econômicas e sociais que impactaram políticas públicas e o acesso a medicamentos, tema que hoje mostra sua importância mesmo nas economias mais ricas do mundo, a partir de foros de discussão relacionados com Saúde Global. As conquistas ao longo do tempo são destacadas, considerando a preocupação decorrente do regime fiscal que compromete as áreas sociais.

Análise das políticas de saúde da pessoa idosa no Brasil e no Distrito Federal / Analysis of health policies of the elderly in Brazil and the Federal District

Comparando as normas com o que é descrito na literatura sobre o atendimento nos serviços de Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), verifica-se que há um lapso entre o que é preconizado e o que já foi, de fato, incorporado à prática. Ainda existem muitos desafios para e melhorar o atendimento à população idosa no SUS, sobretudo por serem necessários maiores investimentos em recursos materiais e humanos, capacitações adequadas e a necessidade de otimização do uso do dinheiro público. O mestrado profissional desponta como uma excelente proposta para possibilitar essa prática, pois ao mesmo tempo em que amplia o olhar crítico sobre a situação, permite a construção de projetos para a melhoria do atendimento e qualificação dos profissionais e do SUS e do processo de trabalho nas unidades

[Paradigm Shift in the Quality of Regional Medical Care: Cooperative Treatment of Onychomycosis].

　In a superaging society, the medical paradigm should include both less coverage of medical-care work flow by human resources and high-quality care for patients. Strategies such as establishing medical-care teams and community medicine systems mainly for home medical care should be implemented. However, a well-organized system for home-based medical treatment of elderly patients is not yet in place, as evidenced by the lack of care, problems with long-term polypharmacy resulting from visits to multiple healthcare providers, and declines in their physical strength. It is assumed that care might not be provided in association with treatment because planning based on the paradigm of "home medical care" has not been fully established. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the "paradigm shift in home medical care" based on the treatment of onychomycosis. We also hoped to identify the types of medical support required to improve the general well-being of individuals and what needs to be done to ensure a high quality of life for patients. All those (including patients themselves) involved in patient care should together formulate a protocol for medical treatment and cooperate based on the role each can play. Although it may be difficult to maintain cooperation among healthcare workers, improvements in the medical quality of an entire region can be achieved by planning a life design including medical treatment for each patient.

Deterioro funcional hospitalario. Revisión y actualización con una perspectiva orientada a mejorar la calidad de atención del anciano / Hospital Functional Impairment. Review and Update with a Perspective Aimed at Improving Quality of Care of the Elderly

El deterioro funcional hospitalario se caracteriza por la pérdida de, al menos, una de las actividades básicas de la vida diaria con respecto a la funcionalidad previa al inicio de la enfermedad aguda. Tiene factores de riesgo asociados que son modificables durante la hospitalización y de ahí la importancia de la identificación temprana y la intervención oportuna. Por eso se debe conocer esta entidad clínica, debido a las complicaciones asociadas que se pueden presentar tanto a corto como a largo plazo, entre las cuales están aumento de la estancia hospitalaria, presencia de complicaciones médicas, mayor riesgo de institucionalización, mayores costos para el sistema de salud y aumento de la mortalidad. El objetivo de esta revisión es conocer la forma de presentación, los factores de riesgo, la identificación temprana y los programas de intervención para mejorar la calidad de atención en los pacientes ancianos hospitalizados por enfermedad médica.

Functional decline in hospitalized elderly adults is charactenzed by the loss of at least one of the basic activities regarding the functionality reo weeks prior to the onset of acute illness. It has associated risk factors that could be modifíed during hospitalization, therefore the importance of the early identification and well'timed intervention. It is important to know the dinical entity's background, due to the short or long term múltiple associated complications that could unexpectedly appear; for example, increased hospital stay, medical complicación presence, increased institutionalization risk, higher costs for the health system and increased mortality rate. The objective of this work is to know about the presence, risk factors, early identification and the intervention programs to improve the caring quality ¿n elderly patients hospitalizad for medical illness.

[Comprehensiveness and healthcare technologies: a narrative on conceptual contributions to the construction of the comprehensiveness principle in the Brazilian Unified National Health System]. / Integralidade e tecnologias de atenção à saúde: uma narrativa sobre contribuições conceituais à construção do princípio da integralidade no SUS.

Comprehensiveness is the most challenging principle for building health reform in the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS). This study aims to identify critical moments in the conceptual debate on comprehensiveness and its contributions to reflection on healthcare technologies in the SUS. The essay addresses some conceptual constructs that approach comprehensiveness as an underlying principle in health programs and actions at various levels and in various dimensions of the healthcare organization - from intersubjective interactions to the organization of regional networks. The study was based on a non-systematic literature review on comprehensiveness and related themes in the Brazilian public health field in the last five decades. The study proposed a chronology/typology spanning the 1960s to the 2010s, divided into four significant periods or categories. The narrative is not intended to be exhaustive, but to build a comprehensive reference base capable of contributing to analyses, assessments, and debates on healthcare organization in the SUS according to the comprehensiveness principle.

Efectividad del uso del Registro de Evaluación Integral al paciente afectado de pie diabético (REIPD) / Effectiveness of the Use of the Comprehensive Evaluation Record on The Affected Patient With Diabetic Foot (REIPD in Spanish)

Introducción: el tratamiento del pie diabético con Heberprot-P requiere de una informatización creciente de sus procesos. En Cuba hasta la fecha solo se tiene el antecedente del Registro de Evaluación Integral al Pie Diabético (REIPD), de la misma autoría, pero no es específico para este tratamiento. Objetivo: confirmar la utilidad del Registro de Evaluación Integral al paciente tratado con Heberprot-P (REIPROT). Métodos: el instrumento se elaboró a partir de las siguientes etapas: búsqueda y análisis de instrumentos internacionales y nacionales, revisión de los principales factores de riesgo, conformación de la estructura y determinación de la propuesta de clasificación. Se estudió la relación funcional del instrumento mediante la medida de adecuación muestral de Kaiser-Meyer-Okin, la prueba de esfericidad de Bartlett y el modelo de regresión lineal simple. Se empleó el criterio de expertos en las tres últimas etapas. La informatización requirió de un patrón Modelo Vista Controlador. Se utilizó C# como lenguaje de programación, Sharp Developer 4.2 como IDE de desarrollo y Postgre SQL 9.2 como gestor de base de datos. Resultados: en las pruebas paramétricas realizadas se constató la imposibilidad de realizar una reducción de variables. En el Test de Wilcoxon se obtuvo valores Z cercanos a -7, con un elevado grado de significación. El índice de correlación de Pearson y el coeficiente de determinación en relación al valor total con la dosis de Heberprot-P y la intervención quirúrgica fueron considerados satisfactorios, especialmente esta última, aspecto que demostró una correlación favorable entre el valor del instrumento y el riesgo de amputación. Conclusión: la integración del (REIPROT) al Programa de Atención Integral al Paciente con Úlcera de Pie Diabético (PAIPUPD), debe favorecer la eficacia del proceso de diagnóstico y tratamiento del pie diabético con Heberprot-P, logrando así, una disminución del riesgo de amputación(AU)

Introduction: The treatment of diabetic foot with Heberprot-P requires an increasing information input of its processes. In Cuba, so far, there is only the antecedent of Registry for Diabetic Foot Comprehensive Evaluation (REIPD), by the same authors, but it is not specific for Heberprot-P treatment. Objective: Confirm the usefulness of the Comprehensive Evaluation Record of patients treated with Heberprot-P (REIPROT). Methods: The instrument was elaborated from the following stages: search and analysis of international and national instruments, revision of the main risk factors, and formation of the structure and determination of the classification proposal. The functional relationship of the instrument was studied using the Kaiser-Meyer-Okin sampling adequacy measure, the Bartlett sphericity test and the simple linear regression model. Expert judgment was used in the last three stages. Information Input required a Model Vista Controller pattern. C # was used as programming language, Sharp Developer 4.2 as development IDE and Postgre SQL 9.2 as database manager. Results: The performed parametric tests found impossible to perform a reduction of variables. In Wilcoxon test, Z values were obtained close to -7, with high degree of significance. Pearson correlation index and the coefficient of determination in relation to the total value with Heberprot-P dose and the surgical intervention were considered satisfactory, especially the latter, which showed a favorable correlation between the value of the instrument and the amputation risk. Conclusion: The integration of REIPROT into the Comprehensive Care Program for Patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcer (PAIPUPD) should favor the efficacy of the diabetic foot diagnosis and treatment process with Heberprot-P, thus reducing the risk of amputation(AU)
