A Rationale for a New Operational Integrated Quality and Efficiency Index for Assessing the Performance of Hematological Services in Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation
Clinical oncohematology(2022)
摘要
Background. Since 2018 a widespread national project “Healthcare” has been implemented in the Russian Federation (RF) to improve the quality, efficiency, availability, and affordability of medical care in the profiles of specialties in constituent entities of the RF. Modern hematology as a medical field of high technology and crucial solutions is notable for its multi- and interdisciplinarity of most nosological forms, complexity of diagnostic process, multi-structuredness and diversity of related physician teams in different structural units and subdivisions. One of the key issues in federal proj ects is to determine the indicators for assessing the efficiency of regional hematological services in constituent entities of the RF. Aim. To elaborate and substantiate a new integrated operational efficiency index for hematological services in constituent entities of the RF. Materials & Methods. The analysis of data and assessment of feasibility of a new integrated operational index “early mortality in acute leukemia” (AL) were based on the results of 5 multi-center trials, including an epidemiological one. Results. Multi-center clinical studies on AL are the only objective tools for assessing the treatment efficacy, its improvement, and further training of hematologists taking part in the trials. AL treatment requires well-developed infrastructure of hematological services involving not only staff matters and organization of hematologists’ activities, but also management of many highly important related subdivisions and laboratories, logistics of their interaction, time specifications, meeting clinical guidelines, and lastly, and most importantly, financial support. Conclusion. The Unified State Information System “Hematology” is the only platform providing the objective information on patients’ vital status and enabling the use of the suggested integrated index for assessing the quality and efficiency of hematological services in the regions of the RF. This indicator of early mortality in AL patients less than 60 years of age is 15 % for acute myeloid leukemias and 10 % for acute lymphoblastic leukemias. Its low values would demonstrate that this or that constituent entity of the RF is provided with sufficient infrastructure, technologies, and a professional team to keep those patients alive who have severe but curable hematological diseases. The indicator of long-term survival or “life years gained” should become the main strategic criterion for the therapy efficacy in hematological diseases.
