Objectives
To describe the frequency of decisions of withholding and withdrawing life-sustaining treatment and palliative sedation in patients previously unknown to physicians during on-call.
Methods
Observational study (survey) of Spanish internists.
Results
Two hundred seventy-three surveys. In patients they did not know, 95.2% decided during an on-call whether they should enter the Intensive Care Unit and 89% whether to initiate sedation. Measures most identified as “aggressive”: admission to the Intensive Care Unit, use of invasive techniques, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and invasive treatments. 48.4% make the decision to start sedation as a team and 4 out of 10 do not consult the patient. Decisions are planned most commonly with cancer patients (73%), with heart failure (60.4%) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (58%).
Conclusions
During the on-call, almost all internists make decisions about admission to the Intensive Care Unit or about sedation in unknown patients. It is planned more the decisions with cancer patients. The decision to sedate is usually made as a team and the patient is often not consulted.

Introduction and objectives
The medicine development demonstrates that the traditional bioethical medical care model is not the most adequate. On the other hand, the person-centered clinical method has been winning more space in the medical practice, since it is a humanized method of care that allows best results. In pediatrics, the patient-centered care works a little bit different, since it requires not only the physician–patient relation, but also the integration of the physician–family–patient relation. Thus, the patient-centered care in the pediatric area is understudied, as well as little practiced. In this context, this review has the objective to exposure the actual scenario of the patient-centered care in pediatrics.
Materials and methods
This is a scoping review carried out from the standards of Jonna Briggs Institute (JBI). The database PubMed, Science Direct and BVS were used to search studies between 2012 until 2024. The research was performed with the descriptors “Medicine”, “Shared DecisionMaking”, “Pediatrics”, “Physician–PatientRelations” and “Patient-CenteredCare”.
Results
The research identified 27,272 articles, along with 79 met the criteria and were included. Each article was analyzed and allocated in the four pillars of the patient-centered care, which was described and related with the pediatric clinic.
Conclusions
The patient-centered care brings benefits to medical care, especially in the pediatric area. Among them, stands out the increased adherence to treatment, the lowest rates of medical errors, the greater integration of the interprofessional team, the more individual and patient-sensitive investigation, as well as the respect of beliefs and desires, making the results obtained better.

Background and aim
Measuring patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) is essential for the continuous improvement of quality. This study aims to assess the quality perceived by patients in the key care processes of an integrated health area measuring PREM elements, with the goal of identifying opportunities for improvement.
Methods
The research was conducted in the first half of 2023 within a Spanish integrated health area, analysing five key healthcare processes: Primary Care, Emergency Services, Hospitalisation, Consultations, and Surgery. To assess perceived quality, PREM elements such as accessibility, information, and professionalism were measured using the Net Promoter Score (NPS). The Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) method was employed to identify specific areas for improvement by detecting rejected lots and optimising sample sizes.
Results
Although the perceived quality was generally high, with good or excellent NPS scores, significant variability was observed between processes. A total of 104 rejected lots (21%) were identified across the processes evaluated. The highest number of rejections occurred in and Emergency Services (67%), with notable issues in accessibility and information.
Conclusions
The study underscores the need for targeted interventions in accessibility and information to enhance the patient experience, particularly in Primary Care and Emergency Services. The measurement of PREM elements using NPS, in conjunction with the LQAS method, proves to be an effective tool for identifying and prioritising areas for improvement, especially when applied on a regular basis.

Objective
To Analyze AHRQ Patient Safety Indicators (PSI) obtained through the Minimum Basic Data Set (MBDS) in improving patient safety.
Method
Observational descriptive and retroprective study. The CMBD hospital discharge registry of 342 hospitals of the National Health System was included. The MBDS indicators and analysis axes were from 2021 and the hospitalization MBDS information included the following general data: total discharges, average stay, average age and % mortality. Four patient safety indicators were analyzed: Pressure ulcers (PSI 03), Iatrogenic pneumothorax (PSI 06), Accidental puncture or tear in adults (PSI 15) and CVC-related to bloodstream infection (PSI 07).
Results
The PSI 06 and PSI 07 categories not only have a higher number of discharges, but also a longer average stay and mortality. In comparison, PSI 03 and PSI 15 categories show a much lower number of discharges, and a lower mortality and average stay. Conditions associated with PSI 06 and PSI 07 categories could be more severe or complex, leading to a longer hospital stay and a higher risk of mortality. According to relative risk analyses, all indicators show a slightly higher mortality risk in men than in women.
Conclusions
Advanced age and serious diagnoses, such as circulatory diseases or neoplasia, are associated with higher mortality and hospital stay. In relation to hospital size, smaller ones show higher risks and worse mortality outcomes. Therefore, these results could guide strategies to optimize resources and focus interventions on the most vulnerable groups.

To assess whether or not the new appointment management system for hospital outpatient consultations, implementing the use of «mailboxes» (computerized appointment system, based on ideal date), improves adherence to appointments or not.
Method
Before-after study, in which the degree of patient adherence to hospital outpatient appointments is compared, before and after the change in the appointment process (period 2014-2018 vs. year 2022). Statistical analysis was performed with Stata v17.
Results
Adherence to consultations (percentage of consultations performed) remained stable in all years of the period 2014-2018, with an average value of 91%, and increased to 93% in 2022. All characteristics of the consultations were shown to be associated with adherence, but in the multivariate model sex, age group, setting, hospital, functional area and type of activity were significant.
Conclusion
The change made in the appointment management system of hospital outpatient clinics in the Health Area of Santiago de Compostela and Barbanza has proven effective in improving adherence to the consultation. The reduction in the number of absences from consultations reduces waiting lists and improves patient care.

Objective
To evaluate levels of humanization, professional quality of life, resilience, communication skills, and the use of silence among healthcare professionals in these areas.
Methods
Observational, cross-sectional, and descriptive study conducted in a referral hospital. Data were collected from 152 healthcare professionals through questionnaires assessing professional quality of life (ProQOL), resilience (CD-RISC), humanization (HUMAS), communication skills (EHC-PS), and the use of silence (Q-SPS).
Results
The median age of the professionals was 42 years. They showed moderate levels of compassion satisfaction and resilience (means = 23.47 and 29.96) but low levels of humanization (mean = 66.09). Emotional exhaustion was significant among physicians (mean = 19.19, P=.022), while radiotherapy technicians excelled in empathy (mean = 27.33). Significant correlations were observed between compassion satisfaction and optimism (Rho = 0.2017, P=.0127), and between productive silence and communication skills (Rho = 0.3131, P=.0001).
Conclusions
Strengthening emotional and communication competencies is essential. Interventions should focus on reducing compassion fatigue and enhancing the well-being of healthcare professionals, improving care quality for oncohematology and radiotherapy patients.
