29 The first application of DistriCARE -Output: a 17-point operational plan, including four types of actions: E = Education and training; I= Information technologies; O = Organisational review (roles, processes, activities); T = new Tools and working methods. -All 17 points were included in the Health Trusts 2010 Strategic Plan, 6 in the short term, 11 in the medium/long term

30 The first application of DistriCARE nINTERVENTO Tipo di intervento Priorità di intervento Aree della clinical governance impattate 15 Intervento prioritario in questo ambito risulta essere lattivazione di un sistema diffuso di rilevazione della soddisfazione dellutente, ad oggi non riscontrato. Si suggerisce di implementare un sistema in grado di rilevare la soddisfazione anche a 30 giorni, finalizzata a rilevare, soprattutto, alcuni elementi piú specifici utili alla valutazione delloutcome / esito. Coinvolgimento delle persone assistite 16 Si sono riscontrate due aree importanti di miglioramento: i sistemi di monitoraggio della qualità della continuità assistenziale e i sistemi informativi di supporto. Relativamente ai sistemi di monitoraggio, si suggerisce di attivare, in via sperimentale ed iniziando dai percorsi più rilevanti, un progetto per la mappatura delle dimensioni più significative da sottoporre a monitoraggio sistematico. A tale primo progetto andrà collegata unanalisi sui sistemi informativi per verificare tempi di realizzazione. Si suggerisce, in questo senso, di avviare le analisi a partire dagli esistenti protocolli per la continuità, anche come occasione per verificare lefficacia della mappatura e valutare le differenze eventualmente esistenti tra Distretti.
