Abstract
Introduction

Geographical barriers are a determining factor in the accessibility of Hospital health care, and structural changes to improve geographic accessibility must be introduced. The purpose of this study is to compare accessibility costs and the level of satisfaction obtained in an adapted Specialist Centre with a peripheral MAS (Major Ambulatory Surgery) Unit, with an already existing one incorporated into the Virgen de la Luz Hospital (Cuenca, Spain) to obtain quality health care in the sub-population nearest the peripheral Centre.

Material and methods

A study was made on a comparison of the costs attributable to accessibility of 133 patients operated on due to hernia disorders in 2008 in the Cuenca Hospital of Castille-La Mancha Health Service (SESCAM), and who lived in its health area. These were compared using a simulation study for an ambulatory surgical Centre, functionally operational, but with no Major Ambulatory Surgery activity nearest to this patient population. The opinions of the patients and the increased cost-effectiveness for each alternative proposal were studied.

Results

The accessibility cost, taking into account the theoretical use of the Ambulatory Centre would be 208,028.09 € and the real costs of the Hospital were 209,088.94 €, with a minimum difference between the two of 1,060.85 €, assuming similar clinical results.

Conclusions

Although there are no significant differences in accessibility costs by using an ambulatory surgery Centre compared to the Hospital, a special assessment of the use of the former is important, expressed in the satisfaction of the patients.

Resumen
Introducción

La existencia de barreras geográficas condiciona la accesibilidad a la asistencia hospitalaria. La Atención Sanitaria debe introducir modificaciones estructurales que mejoren la accesibilidad geográfica. El objetivo del trabajo es comparar los costes de accesibilidad y el nivel de satisfacción obtenidos en un Centro de Especialidades adaptado con una unidad de CMA periférica frente a la ya existente integrada en el Hospital Virgen de la Luz para lograr una atención de calidad en la subpoblación más cercana al centro periférico.

Material y métodos

Se realiza un estudio de comparación de costes atribuibles a la accesibilidad con un grupo de 133 pacientes operados por patología herniaria abdominal en el año 2008 en el Hospital de Cuenca (SESCAM), pertenecientes a su área de salud, comparándolo mediante un estudio de simulación por un Centro Quirúrgico Ambulatorio más cercano a la población atendida, funcionalmente operativo pero sin actividad quirúrgica de Cirugía Mayor Ambulatoria (CMA), estudiando las opiniones de los pacientes y el coste efectividad incremental para cada alternativa propuesta.

Resultados

El coste de accesibilidad, considerando la utilización teórica del Centro Ambulatorio, sería de 208.028,09 € y la real del hospital fue de 209.088,94 €, con una mínima diferencia entre ambas de 1.060,85 €, asumiendo resultados clínicos equiparables.

Conclusiones

Aunque no hay diferencias importantes de costes de accesibilidad en la utilización de un Centro Quirúrgico Ambulatorio frente al hospital, sí es importante la valoración preferente sobre la utilización del primero de ellos expresadas en la encuesta de satisfacción de los pacientes.
