The role of private healthcare in the surgical activity

Neurosurgery is the specialty with the highest number of interventions in private healthcare (41.7%), followed by Traumatology (36.7%), Surgery and Digestive Surgery (33.9%).

The private sector within the National Health System (SNS) has been playing a crucial role, taking on a significant portion of healthcare activity, helping to alleviate the public system’s resources, and reducing care pressure, thereby enhancing accessibility to medical care.

According to the “2024 Private Healthcare Sector Observatory,” published by the IDIS Foundation, the private sector conducts approximately 5 million surgical interventions in total.

Spain Leads a European Project on Training in Hospital Engineering

The University Hospital of Gran Canaria Doctor Negrín is leading a European project on training in hospital engineering, to be developed over three years with a budget of 400,000 euros, called Smart Healthcare Engineering.

This initiative is being launched in collaboration with the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), Transilvania University (Romania), and Manisa University (Turkey), and will provide training to more than 60 final-year engineering students. This European project will begin its first year with on-site training in Gran Canaria.

The primary objective of this initiative, which is part of the Canary Islands Health Department, is to provide students with both theoretical and practical training, including visits to hospital facilities such as the Doctor Negrín Hospital.

Concern grows over the quality of European healthcare systems

Spaniards, among those most concerned about their health care in a Europe in which satisfaction with health systems decreases

Health systems in Europe need to be overhauled.

This is the main conclusion or message drawn from the results of the 10th edition of the STADA Health Report, recently presented in Rome.

With a global figure of 56%, satisfaction with health systems has fallen to a historic low, which half of the European Union (EU) considers an invitation to act.

In search of generational change in Health Directors

The Health System needs a generational replacement of Health Managers to be able to respond to the needs of professionals and users.

The generational change of Health Managers is one of the main challenges facing the Health System. Currently, there is not enough generational change to occupy management positions, which are of utmost importance.

In this context, the Spanish Society of Health Managers (SEDISA) has prepared a Report on the appropriate generational replacement of health managers.

Optimizing alarms in healthcare centers

The proliferation of alarms in modern healthcare facilities, while essential for patient safety, also poses some significant inconveniences for medical staff and patients.

It is all based on the fact that medical technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, providing hospitals with sophisticated monitoring and warning systems that allow early detection of complications.

In hospitals, for example, hundreds of auditory signals are recorded daily, but only a small proportion require immediate action. In fact, recent research has explored solutions that could make a significant difference in the management of these alarms, benefiting both healthcare staff and patients.

XII Hospital Engineering Meeting: for continuous improvement in healthcare

On June 14 and 15, Zaragoza hosted the XII Hospital Engineering Meeting, an event organized by Redección Médica with the collaboration of the Spanish Association of Hospital Engineering (AEIH) and Carburos Metálicos.

The objective of this meeting was to enable a space for debate and exchange of ideas, reflections and proposals in the field of hospital engineers and architects, heads of engineering and maintenance services, heads of technical service, heads of studies and projects areas…

Gathered over two days, current issues in this area were once again shared in a meeting attended by the most representative members of this group.
