Spanish social welfare and health care
services - Contextualisation
• The Spanish Constitution of 1978 established the right to health
protection and healthcare for all citizens.
• As laid out by the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality (2012),
the following principles and criteria enable citizens to exercise this right:
– Public funding, universal coverage and free healthcare services at the time of use.
– Defined rights and duties for citizens and public authorities.
– Political decentralisation of healthcare, which is devolved to the autonomous regions.
– Provision of comprehensive healthcare which strives to attain high levels of quality and is
duly evaluated and controlled.
– Integration of different public structures and health services under the National Health
System.
• Spain has a statutory national health system (SNS), which is characterized
by universal coverage and funded by taxes.
• There are 17 regional health ministries across Spain, each having primary
jurisdiction over the organization and delivery of health services within
their respective regions

Catalonia region- Contextualisation
• Catalonia is one of the 17 Autonomous Communities, with a population of
roughly 7 million inhabitants.
• This region has full competences in health services, as part of the
decentralized Spanish health system.
• The Catalan government (Generalitat de Catalunya) has developed its own
organizational model based on the historical evolution of the Catalan
health system.
• The Department of Health (DSGC) is the maximum official authority for
the definition, planning and development of healthcare services in
Catalonia.
• Servei Català de la Salut (CATSALUT) acts as a purchaser of services and
guarantees quality control while a network of public and private
organizations provides the healthcare services.

Comprehensive care organization –
Who we are
• A network of care services that offers a coordinated service
by means of a continuum of care for a particular population.
• At BSA, this service continuum includes primary care,
specialized care, intermediate care and home care (including
social home care).
• The integration of services facilitates attention to the patient
at the most cost effective location whilst also favouring
aspects of promotion or prevention.
• This new organizational focus boosts innovation aspects on
both a collective and an individual level.
• This constant revision obliges the incorporation of the
patients’ and citizens’ view.

Health care silo:
• BSA integral healthcare
organisation (3 classic levels)
• 1,170 professionals including:
– GPs
– Specialists
– Nurses
– Social workers (at PC and ICH)
– Structural staff
• 70M € funding (low complexity
at Hospital)
• 1,200 € per capita
• Providing classic healthcare
services
• Geriatricians pushing for
changing the model
Social care silo:
• City Council in charge of the
social services
• 65 professionals including:
– Social workers
– Family workers
• 4,7M € funding for
subcontracting:
– Telecare (panic button)
– Meals at home
– Cleaning at home
Why merging the health and the
social care sector?
• Badalona City Council:
– Unique holder of the healthcare provision through BSA
– In charge of the provision of social services which are entrusted to the
municipalities
• Bad outcomes in terms of efficiency > Duplication of structures
• Bad outcomes in terms of efficacy > Lack of coordination
Badalona Serveis Assistencials 14
• Need of centring the model into the patient
• Shared decision between BSA and the City Council to merge both
provisions of care into a single delivery
• Political decision of merging both departments at a political level into a
single one
Year 2000
Situation after 2003 (numbers from
2015)
Badalona Serveis Assistencials 15
• Breaking the brick wall separating both silos -> Centring the model on the
patient
• Creation of the Home Care Department to deliver the integrated services
• BSA integral care organisation (3 classic levels + home care level)
• 1,200 professionals including:
– GPs
– Specialists
– Nurses
– Social workers (at PC and ICH and Hospital)
– Structural staff
• 67M € funding in total
• 3,5M € of those for subcontracting 3rd party providers in the social field
• 1,030 € per capita
• Home Care Department “losing” 500,000€/year in internal accountancy
because of the healthcare services -> Perversion of the financing system

Case management – Integrated care
Badalona Serveis Assistencials 19
Case management is the
procedure where the nurse
coordinates the provision of
care to guarantee the
accomplishment of needs,
through the control of
symptoms and the management
of the most adequate resources,
to empower the autonomy of
patients.
How did we organize it – Integrated
care
• Nurse leading the coordination
• Multidisciplinary teams doing continuous assessment and
reassessment of needs
• Different pathways / programs have been put in place to tailor
them according to the patients needs
• Put the patient in the middle of the care process
• Engage the family and the community assets within the care
process
• Continuous evaluation to improve the services provided
• Homecare Department to coordinate the provision of
services

Some outcomes from the integration
Badalona Serveis Assistencials 24
• Regional Case Management Program:
– Characteristics of the patients: 76 years ratio, 52% woman, 1,38% prevalence, 20%
with social problems
– Interventions done: 86%VGI, 76% flu vaccine, 85% pneumococcus vaccine, 54% ATDOM
program, 78% full assessment program
– Results: 12% reduction GP, 8% reduction nurse (PC), 40% reduction emergencies, 56%
reduction of non-programed hospital admissions, 23% increased QOL, 89% increased
satisfaction with the service, 59% increased death at home
• Early discharge Program:
– Characteristics of the patients: Acute episode (normally hip fracture), living alone or
with couple, risk of dependency
– Interventions done: Family worker at home, home hospitalization (including specialist
and nurse), rehabilitation team at home
– Results: 67% increased complete rehabilitation (for patients between 70 and 83), 28%
reduction relapse, ratio of 6,7 weeks to rehabilitation, 27% decreased mortality rate
Conclusions
• The initial driver of integrated care in this case was a policy
commitment towards a patient-centric model which would
enable the continuum of care at a local level (municipality)
• Reorganisational process and the governance mechanism
established have been the main drivers of integrated care
• Health and social care professionals play a leading role in
facilitating integrated care deployment
• Interoperable information systems has fostered the full
deployment of integrated care
• Absence of major conflicts between the distribution of
resources and the alignment of incentives
Badalona Serveis Assistencials 25
Conclusions (graphically)
Badalona Serveis Assistencials 26
Some highlights – Integrated care
• Achieving a full integration of health and social services is a
slow process
• It’s better to start with health services
• Problems for achieving it are organizational and cultural
• Expect huge resistance from professionals
• Integrated common care pathways should be developed
• A continuous review process should be put in place to keep
monitoring and improving the services / programs
• IT is a tool that will help you within the process, but not the
solution (EMR. SCR, ICR and shared care plan are central)
• Proper quality and cost-benefit evaluation needs to be
conducted

Chronic Care Model - Aims
• The main objective of the CCM programme is to offer an integral care model
through the provision of social and healthcare services, to patients with multiple
chronic conditions, based on the optimization and integration of resources to give
a fast response to the needs of the inhabitants in the region.
• Specific objectives:
– Position the patient in the middle of the care model
– Plan and realize the interventions focused on identify, prevent and treat in
advance the acute episodes to avoid further hospitalizations
– Design and realize individual integrated care plans based on the evaluation of
each particular need and the integral geriatric evaluation (VGI)
– Promote the independent life of those patients as much as possible maintaining
good quality of life
– Coordinate the work of the interdisciplinary teams doing the interventions
– Guarantee and provide a continuum of services

    Situation after 2003(numbers from 2015) Badalona Serveis Assistencials 15 • Breaking the brick wall separating both silos -> Centring the model on the patient • Creation of the Home Care Department to deliver the integrated services • BSA integral care organisation (3 classic levels + home care level) • 1,200 professionals including: – GPs – Specialists – Nurses – Social workers (at PC and ICH and Hospital) – Structural staff • 67M € funding in total • 3,5M € of those for subcontracting 3rd party providers in the social field • 1,030 € per capita • Home Care Department “losing” 500,000€/year in internal accountancy because of the healthcare services -> Perversion of the financing system

    Some highlights –Integrated care • Achieving a full integration of health and social services is a slow process • It’s better to start with health services • Problems for achieving it are organizational and cultural • Expect huge resistance from professionals • Integrated common care pathways should be developed • A continuous review process should be put in place to keep monitoring and improving the services / programs • IT is a tool that will help you within the process, but not the solution (EMR. SCR, ICR and shared care plan are central) • Proper quality and cost-benefit evaluation needs to be conducted Badalona Serveis Assistencials 27
