Descripción del proyecto
Una atención bucodental asequible y una prevención eficaz
El impacto de enfermedades y afecciones bucodentales como la caries, la fluorosis dental, el edentulismo y la enfermedad periodontal es considerable: afectan de forma desproporcionada a los grupos vulnerables y son las terceras enfermedades más caras de tratar en la Unión Europea. En este contexto, el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos DELIVER mejorará el acceso a una atención bucodental asequible mediante el diálogo deliberativo y la acción con la participación de ciudadanos, pacientes, proveedores, pagadores y responsables políticos. El equipo de DELIVER creará un ecosistema sinérgico de resolución de problemas para convertir los diálogos deliberativos en una mejora significativa de la calidad de la atención bucodental colaborando con socios de Alemania, Dinamarca, Inglaterra, Malta, Portugal y Suecia. Desarrollará y producirá de forma conjunta nuevos enfoques de mejora de la calidad en tres fases: análisis de la situación, mejora de la calidad basada en la comunidad para grupos vulnerables y puesta en marcha de servicios de salud bucodental orientados a la calidad.
Objetivo
Oral diseases and conditions affect more than 3.5 billion people worldwide. They are the 3rd most expensive diseases to treat in the EU and disproportionally affect vulnerable groups. In deviation from the UN and WHO goal of Universal Health Coverage, many EU citizens do not have access to quality oral care without financial hardship. To this end, the DELIVER (DELiberative ImproVEment of oRal care quality) project aims to enhance the quality of oral care through deliberative dialogue and action involving citizens, patients, providers, payers and policymakers. DELIVER will create a synergistic problem-solving ecosystem to convert deliberative dialogues into meaningful improvement of oral care quality. DELIVER brings together top investigators from prestigious universities, civil society and patient organizations, health professionals, policymakers, and SME/industry to achieve a step change in collective problem solving. Given the comprehensiveness of the topic, DELIVER uses a targeted approach that is entirely focused on five major root-causes underlying the current limitations of oral care systems. Using a mixed-methods research approach, DELIVER will co-develop and co-produce new quality improvement approaches in three phases. The 1st phase involves situational analysis, consenting of core quality indicators, and development of a EU-wide monitoring framework. The 2nd phase involves in-depth analysis of select quality improvement approaches: (i) PROMs/PREMs-based quality improvement in dental practices; (ii) community-based quality improvement for vulnerable groups; (iii) quality-oriented commissioning of oral health services. The regulatory determinants of oral care quality improvement will be scrutinized. In the 3rd and final phase, the knowledge gained in the 1st and 2nd phases will be merged into the DELIVER Quality Toolkit with manuals and digital tools for concretely actionable and context-adaptive approaches for oral care quality improvement.
