The numbers of the 'P.Re.Val.E.' Report 2017 for the structure are in line with the trend of general improvement in health services recorded by the Health of the Lazio Region. Particularly encouraging elements for the future, with 'top' results at regional level in cardiac surgery both for heart valve operations and for coronary artery by-passes
 
 
Rome, June 28 2017 – The Lazio Regional Health Service improves globally in the quality of the services offered by its health care facilities and hospitals. And the Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital, which is an integral part of it, is doing its part to allow the Lazio Region to cash in on this significantly positive trend: this is what the data from the Regional Outcome Evaluation Plan (P.Re.Val.E.) relating to 2016, published in recent days.
 
"Our data - highlights Lorenzo Cammelli, Director of the Clinical Performance UOC of the Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital – they are good and improve on last year. They represent confirmation that our structure is growing well and is traveling in the right direction, also contributing to the good general result obtained at the regional level. We are grateful to the Lazio Region Epidemiological Observatory, because thanks to this periodic evaluation it allows us to carefully analyze the internal situations to improve and, consequently, to take the right steps to make the health services of our University Hospital more and more effective, especially in the management of the organizational model, which will be the real challenge for the near future".
 
For the Trigoria structure, in particular, the analysis shows a trend of overall improvement in health care outcomes considered by the evaluators, with the Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital obtaining evaluations better than the regional average in all three macro-areas for which it was evaluated, further progressing on the previous year's results.
 
The area of ​​the area stands out for the volume of activity and quality of the services provided Heart Surgery, which gets a quality standard rating at 'top' levels in the Region both for coronary artery bypass surgery (relative risk equal to 1.28 per cent on the total of cases evaluated) and for that relating to replacement of heart valves (with a risk value equal to 1.50 per cent).
 
In the area of ​​the General surgery, more than 90 percent of laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries – 'sentinel' performance of the surgical quality of a healthcare facility – recorded one post-operative stay of less than 3 days, with almost all cases (99.21 percent) treated in a ward with a volume of activity well in excess of the 90 annual operations indicated by Ministerial Decree 70/15 as the limit threshold to ensure more favorable outcomes and fewer complications (in 2016, at the Policlinico University Campus Bio-Medico were 253).
 
The third area, the one relating to Oncological surgery, recorded a percentage of 30-day mortality of 2.50 percent for stomach cancer and 1.40 percent for colon cancer, both significantly better than the regional average. Finally, in this macro-sector, over 97 percent of the interventions for breast cancer they were performed in a department with a volume of activity exceeding the threshold of 135 annual interventions required to allow for better outcomes: in 2016, the Breast Department of the University Hospital treated 273 cases for this pathology.
 
"Our commitment remains to continue to improve our clinical performance – Camelli adds – thanks to institutionalization of specialist Clinical Audits, made possible by the convergence of information from multiple sources. I am referring, in particular, to at least three sources: firstly, to the outcome information provided by the regional programs P.Re.Val.E. and national PNE, who enjoy the privilege of drawing on the big data of the NHS and the national registry; secondly, to the information of the data warehousing hospital clinician, which uses the technology of specialist registers interconnected with the hospital information system, which is also undergoing complete restructuring; thirdly, to the connection with i international specialist registers of the most accredited scientific societies, in order to develop effective benchmarking. This will allow us to focus particularly on those areas that have achieved results in any case in the regional average, but which with a small 'sprint' could reach even better levels".
