project is currently underway in a proactive, selective and continuous way. Results Activities were analysed during 2020, weeks 12-19 (16 March to 10 May 2020) and compared with theoretical activity during the same period in 2019, with an increase in activity (+21%). The difference between the sum of in-person and telematic consultations and the theoretical consultations for the period was named after omitted consultations. Overall activity in weeks 12-19 was 5550 consultations, of which 4414 (79.5%) were in-person and 1136 (20.5%) telematic. The estimated activity would have been 7030 consultations, and 1480 (21% of the theoretical ones) have been omitted. In-person activity decreased from 5973 patients between weeks 12 and 19 in 2019 to 4414 in 2020 (À23.3%). Distribution of the 1136 MHD: week 12 (30), week 13 (131), week 14 (232), week 15 (190), week 16 (168), week 17 (155), week 18 (115) and week 19 (115). Waiting times for in-person consultation were reduced from an average of 5.2 min/patient in the pre-alarm period to 3 min during the alarm (À42.3%). Conclusion and relevance Our data may be used to detect areas for improvement; consultations should be made proactively and tools are needed to qualitatively analyse omitted activity. A system is needed to account for tele-assistance that has not resulted in dispensing medication or MHD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
