PCPC: EVOLUTIVE TENDENCIES 1990-2000 • Consolidation of teams, diversity, and coverage • Complexity of patients and intervention • Cooperation, early intervention, shared care • Extension of training • Initial phase of research (observational) • Social satisfaction
Public Health approach • Coverage, equity, access (cancer) • Influence and coverage in geriatric care • Community oriented • Diversity of services and models • Highly experienced teams • Model of care implemented • Coverage of training • Effectiveness, efficiency, satisfaction • Initial phase of research (multicentric) • Social, media, and values impact PCPC: STRONG POINTS
PCPC: AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT • Late intervention • Some places and pathologies not yet implemented • Low implementation of some complex interventions, psichosocial aspects, and complementary • Variability in access and continuing care • Risk of burnout for small teams • Variability of measures in general services • Training not yet academically recognised • Low generation of evidence • Low financement for UCPs in sociohealth centers
Dilemas and Questions • Initial measures? • Placement of resources? • Number of resources? • Coverage? • Mixed or specific for diseases? • Evaluation? • Hierarchy and dependence? Use your knowledge and common sense
PCPC: CONCLUSIONS and RECOMENDATIONS Very hard work, But Very nice results!
