ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To prioritize the initiatives to be developed for the development of the Strategic Map of Outpatient Care (MAPEX) project to improve the quality of care and Pharmaceutical Care for patients seen in Hospital Pharmacy outpatient clinics in the period 2024-2027 in Spain. METHOD: The study was carried out in 4 phases between January and December 2023. For phase 1, a literature review of the evolution of the project was carried out by the coordinating committee with the aim of establishing a basis on which to define a new proposal for initiatives. In addition, an analysis was made of the health trends that will have an impact in the coming years. In phase 2, a working group of 19 specialists from all the autonomous communities was created, who were called regional ambassadors. They all made a preliminary proposal of initiatives and established revisions for their adjustment and final version both online and in telematic meetings. In phase 3, a consensus was established based on the Delphi-Rand/UCLA methodology with two rounds of online voting to select the initiatives classified as priority and key or breakthrough. Between the first and second round of voting, a face-to-face "Consensus Conference" was held, where the results of the first round were presented. In phase 4, a public presentation was made in scientific forums and through the web. RESULTS: Ten trends in the health sector were identified. A list of 34 initiatives grouped into five lines of work was established. A total of 103 panelists participated in the first round and 76 in the second. Finally, five initiatives were established as priority and 29 as key. Among those prioritized were external visibility, adaptations to the CMO methodology, strengthening certification and improving training. CONCLUSIONS: The initiatives agreed upon as priorities were aimed at improving professional visibility, broadening the methodology of care work, expanding the quality of care, enhancing the training of professionals and the voice of patients.
