  • Modelling a regional reorganization of Cardiovascular Surgery provision.
    Health & place, 2005
    Co-Authors: Anne Quesnel-barbet, Marie Christine Nuttens, Bruno Aublet-cuvellier, Henri Warembourg, Alain Prat, Pierre Jean Thumerelle, Régis Beuscart
    Abstract:

    Abstract The Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France is under-served in terms of access to Cardiovascular Surgery services, as illustrated by relatively high levels of waiting list mortality. This prompted the decision to create a new surgical unit in the region's densely populated, former industrial heartland called the “Mining Basin”. Geographical and epidemiological modelling was used prospectively to estimate the likely future level of activity of the existing public sector Cardiovascular Surgery units. Information on the regional population distribution and the likely pattern of service use enabled us to estimate the new unit's potential activity. Our simulations produced nine scenarios which describe variations in the existing public units’ activity ranging from −54% to +95%. This type of approach should enable policy makers to improve the organization of healthcare provision.

    Abstract:

    The Nord - Pas-de-Calais region of France is under-served in terms of access to Cardiovascular Surgery services, as illustrated by relatively high levels of waiting list mortality. This prompted the decision to create a new surgical unit (notably with facilities for extracorporeal circulatory support) in the region's densely populated, former industrial heartland called the “Mining Basin". Geographical and epidemiological modelling was used prospectively to estimate the likely future level of activity of the existing public sector Cardiovascular Surgery units. Furthermore, information on the regional population distribution and the likely pattern of service use enabled us to estimate the new unit's potential activity. Our simulations produced nine scenarios which describe variations in the existing public units' activity ranging from –54% to +95%. This type of approach should enable policy makers to improve the organization of healthcare provision.

  • Imbalance in Cardiovascular Surgery Medical Service Use Between Regions.
    The Korean journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2016
    Co-Authors: Myunghwa Kim, Seok-jun Yoon, Ji Suk Choi, Myo Jeong Kim, Sung Bo Sim, Kun Sei Lee, Hyun Keun Chee, Nam Hee Park, Choon Seon Park
    Abstract:

    This study uses the relevance index to understand the condition of regional medical service use for Cardiovascular Surgery and to identify the medical service use imbalance between regions. This study calculated the relevance index of 16 metropolitan cities and provinces using resident registration address data from the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs and the 2010-2014 health insurance, medical care assistance, and medical benefits claims data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. We identified developments over the 5-year time period and analyzed the level of regional imbalance regarding Cardiovascular Surgery through the relative comparison of relevance indexes between Cardiovascular and other types of Surgery. The relevance index was high in large cities such as Seoul, Daegu, and Gwangju, but low in regions that were geographically far from the capital area, such as the Gangwon and Jeju areas. Relevance indexes also fell as the years passed. Cardiovascular Surgery has a relatively low relevance index compared to key types of Surgery of other fields, such as neuroSurgery and colorectal Surgery. This study identified medical service use imbalance between regions for Cardiovascular Surgery. Results of this study demonstrate the need for political intervention to enhance the accessibility of necessary special treatment, such as Cardiovascular Surgery.
