WB 541 Exercice therapyAbstract: Un métier fort discret que celui de « mécanicien du vivant et du mouvement ». Et pourtant ! La kinésithérapie a beaucoup évolué depuis ses premières ébauches à la fi n du XIXe siècle. C’est aujourd’hui une science en pleine expansion. Sur le terrain, des processus de promotion de la qualité sont en cours - de même pour la reconnaissance de plusieurs qualifi cations professionnelles particulières - et ses représentants travaillent à la création d’un organe déontologique. Dans les cabinets, la diversité des pratiques constitue à la fois une richesse mais également un fl ou. A qui s’adresser ? Quel est le thérapeute le plus proche de mes attentes, de mes sensibilités et de mes besoins ? Ce numéro de Santé conjuguée met en lumière le quotidien de cette profession, ses liens avec la sphère politique, syndicale, ses relations avec le corps médical et avec les patients. Et son désir de revalorisation. Record link: https://kce.docressources.info/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=4450 Hold

W 84.4 Quality of health care (General)Abstract: The introduction in 2004 of the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) in UK general practice represents one of the most ambitious efforts to measure and incentivise quality improvements in primary care. This report takes advantage of a large database of over 50 million English citizens to determine whether the levels of QOF attainment in general practices have led to improvements in two major outcomes: mortality and the costs of hospital inpatient and outpatient use. Our findings are that primary care performance improvements are associated with some modest but measurable improvements in subsequent outcomes and costs.

W 84.4 Quality of health care (General)Abstract: This report reviews the evidence of whether improving quality can also save money for health service providers. It explores the cost saving potential of initiatives to improve quality and the barriers to success. Contents note: Foreword vii -- Abstract ix -- Executive summary xi -- Outline of the review xi -- Poor quality and adverse events are common and costly xii -- Some interventions are effective, but carry costs which may exceed savings xii -- The cost and benefits of quality are spread over time and between stakeholders xiii -- Context factors influence whether a provider saves money from quality improvement xiv -- Providers would be helped by information relevant to their situation xiv -- Saving avoidable suffering may be speeded up by the business case xv -- Summary for health service providers xvii -- Does quality improvement save money for a service? xvii -- What is the actionable knowledge for service providers from the research? xviii -- How strong does the evidence need to be before we act? xviii -- How can providers ensure saving through quality improvement?
