Introduction
The implementation of the Critical Care Outreach Teams can influence the time of admission of patients to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Material and methods
Retrospective, descriptive, quasi-experimental “before-after” cohort study. All patients admitted to the unit urgently from Monday to Friday for two periods (between February 1, 2022 and June 30 and between February 1, 2023 and June 30, 2023) are included. The patients were divided into regular shift admissions (08-15 h) and on-call (15-08 h). The secondary objective was to assess whether there were differences in mortality between the two periods.
Results
During the first period of the study, 239 patients were admitted. 29.29% entered the ordinary shift and 70.71% on duty shift. During the second period, 211 patients were included with 43.13% of admissions in the ordinary shift. The comparison between the two periods observed a significant increase in the percentage of admissions in the morning hours in the second period (P=.0031). Mortality in the first period was 13.80% and in the second period 9.95%. The comparison between the two periods did not reveal significant differences.
Conclusions
The start-up of the Critical Care Outreach Teams is associated with an increase in the proportion of ICU admissions in the morning period without any observed changes in mortality.

Introduction
Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) provide subjective information about their disease, treatment, and quality of life.
Objective
To introduce a new system of work coordinated between pharmacists and dermatologists, based on the collection and analysis of PROs to assess its clinical impact as well as patients satisfaction.
Method
A prospective single-centre observational study was conducted under clinical conditions and included adult patients diagnosed with psoriasis (PS) and atopic dermatitis (AD) between April-2021 and February-2022.
Pharmacists and dermatologists agreed on this systematic work. A REDCap® database was designed to facilitate data collection and the subsequent analysis.
Results
A total of 288 and 41 patients with PS and AD, respectively, were included. Those who started treatment showed significant improvement with a decrease in PROs and clinical parameters (p < 0.001). The pharmacist made 168 and 7 recommendations to dermatologists for PS and AD patients, respectively, of which 66.07% and 57.1% were accepted. The most common recommendations were «consult with rheumatologist» (20.83%), «extend drug regimen» (19.64%) and «consider change in treatment» (11.90%). Adverse events were reported in 55 and 17 patients with PS and AD, respectively. Of 103 patients, 75% were «very satisfied» and 20% «satisfied» with the system.
Conclusions
This new working system helps to evaluate the short and long-term effectiveness of treatments and also to identify adverse events, alarm symptoms and co-morbidities in order to optimize therapies. Collaboration between pharmacists and dermatologists reduces decision-making time and patients appreciate better clinical care leading to higher patient satisfaction.

Objective
To investigate whether falls in people ≥65 years old are a prognostic factor for adverse events compared to the rest of older patients who consult emergency departments, and identify factors related to a worse long-term evolution.
Method
EDEN cohort that included patients ≥65 years old. Those patients who consulted for fall and the rest were distinguished. Twelve variables were collected. For comparison: two groups matched by fall propensity score. We compared mortality at one year and combined adverse event post-discharge at one year. In patients with falls, variables independently related to evolution were identified.
Results
Two thousand seven hundred and forty-five patients treated for falls and 22,920 for other reasons. Mortality at one year was 14.4% (9.5% vs. 15.0%, respectively, P<.001) and the combined post-discharge adverse event at one year was 60.6% (52.2% vs. 61.7%, respectively, P<.001). In 4748 patients matched by fall propensity score (2372 in each group), the inverse association between consultation for fall and mortality (HR: 0.705, 95% CI: 0.5880.846) and post-discharge combined adverse event (0.758, 0.701-0.820) remained significant. Factors associated with mortality in patients with falls were ≥80 years (2.097, 1.521-2.891) and comorbidity (2.393, 1.574-3.636) while being female was a protective factor (0.758, 0.584-0.985). Between the factors associated with post-discharge combined adverse hospitalization in the index event was a protective factor (0.804, 0.685-0.943).
Conclusions
Patients over 65 years of age treated in the emergency room for falls have a better prognosis. Hospitalization was a protective factor of combined postdischarge adverse event.

Background and aim
Safety culture (SC) is a fundamental tool for minimizing adverse events and improving safety and quality of care. Our objective, therefore was to analyze the evolution of the SC of healthcare professionals in a pediatric emergency department (PED) after the implementation of a risk management system for patient safety based on the UNE:EN:ISO 179003 Standard and the execution of new safe practices for Joint Commission International accreditation. At the same time describe the current strengths and weaknesses.
Methods
Quasi-experimental, single-center study. All PED professionals participated in the study. An initial measurement of SC was performed through the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPS) questionnaire of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality adapted to Spanish in 2014. Pro-patient safety strategies were implemented between 2015 and 2022. A subsequent measurement was performed in 2022.
Results
The response rate in 2014 was 55% and 78% in 2022. On both occasions the group with the highest participation was nurses with 35.1% and 34.8%, respectively.
Five dimensions improved after the interventions: frequency of adverse events (25.2%, p<0.001), organizational learning (25%, p<0.001), feedback and communication about errors (22.3%, p<0.001), non-punitive response to errors (6.5%, p = 0.176), and management support (4%, p = 0.333).
Conclusions
The actions carried out had a positive influence on organizational learning and the frequency of adverse events reported and communication within the team. In contrast, the perception of SC did not increase.

Introduction
Quality management in healthcare is essential for safe, effective, and patient-centered services. Quality management systems (QMS) monitor and improve healthcare quality. Integrating QMS is crucial for optimal quality of care, but previous studies show gaps in integration. This study aims to assess program adherence to a QMS in cross-sectoral psycho-oncological care and to develop strategies for better integration, ultimately improving healthcare quality.
Materials and methods
The study used a utility analysis to assess the program adherence of a cross-sectoral psycho-oncology care program using a 5-point scale. The evaluation process involved breaking down the program into distinct areas, and used key figures and developed indicators to assess adherence. Descriptive statistics were used.
Results
The study conducted a comprehensive assessment of program adherence in a complex care program, analysing 4460 evaluation cases based on 128 quality indicators. The results showed a score of 4.2 out of 5 points (84%), indicating a highly effective implementation of the QMS. Notably, the study observed successful implementation of top-down elements, while encountering more challenges in integrating bottom-up aspects.
Conclusion
The study demonstrates effective implementation of a comprehensive QMS. Successful integration was observed in areas such as care concept, care management, quality assurance, and IT-based documentation, while challenges remain in quality development and indicators. Active leadership involvement, staff training, data collection, and a learning culture are essential for successful implementation. Future research should assess the impact and cost-effectiveness of QMSs and develop tailored approaches to sustain healthcare professionals’ motivation in quality improvement efforts.
