Article: [Criteria for referral between levels of care of patients with peripheral vascular disease. SEMFYC-SEACV consensus document].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Coordination between care levels is essential to increase the efficiency of the Health System; vascular disease has an important role in this respects, as it includes frequent, serious and vulnerable conditions. Consensus documents are an essential tool to obtain these aims. This document is not expected to replace the Clinical Guidelines, but tries to establish the basis of the shared management of the patient with vascular disease (peripheral arterial disease, diabetic foot, and chronic venous insufficiency) in three ways: to determine the profile of the patient who should receive priority follow-up at every level; to establish the skills that every professional must have, and to set and to prioritise the referral criteria in both directions.Atención Primaria 07/2012; 44(9):556-61. · 0.63 Impact Factor -
Article: [Criteria for between-care-level referrals of patients with vascular disease. semFYC-SEACV consensus document].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine (semFYC) and the Spanish Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery (SEACV), through a Joint Working Group, have prepared a document on between care-level referrals of patients with the main vascular diseases; peripheral arterial disease, venous insufficiency, and diabetic foot. The responsibilities and skills required at each care level have been defined, as well as the criteria for mutual referral and how to prioritise them. The preparation of this consensus document attempt to provide an efficient tool that may ensure the continuity of health care, always respecting the specific characteristics and needs of each health care area.Atención Primaria 05/2012; 44(9):555.e1-555.e11. · 0.63 Impact Factor
