Aplicación de la reingeniería de procesos al Programa de Trabajo Académico (PTA) de la Universidad del Atlántico

La ausencia de un Procedimiento claramente definido para la gestión del Programa de Trabajo Académico (PTA); genera como resultado demoras y métodos ineficaces, que a su vez ocasiona duplicidad e inconsistencias en la información para diferentes requerimientos, teniendo que recurrir a la búsqueda manual en los formatos archivados, creando reprocesos y desgaste adicional de las personas que ejercen estas funciones. De acuerdo a lo anterior, se hace necesaria la formulación de un procedimiento de gestión del Programa de Trabajo Académico (PTA), donde se solventen las falencias identificadas, por medio de la aplicación de los lineamientos de reingeniería, haciendo uso de herramientas relacionadas con las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicaciones (TIC´s). Para aplicar los lineamientos de Reingeniería de Procesos, establecidos por el autor seleccionado (Raymond Manganelly), se dividió el proceso del Programa de Trabajo Académico (PTA) en etapas, y ésta a su vez en sub etapas, con el propósito de estructurar una propuesta de mejora que atienda los requerimientos de la Universidad en relación a las actividades misionales asignadas semestralmente a los docentes. Como resultado a esta reestructuración, se planteó un nuevo procedimiento para el control y gestión del PTA, mediante un aplicativo informático, que conllevaría a ahorrar tiempo en el procesamiento de datos, mejorar el manejo y control de las actividades que ejecutan los docentes semestralmente, así como incrementar el nivel de seguridad de los datos y la satisfacción de nuestro cliente interno

Evaluation of a quality improvement intervention to reduce anastomotic leak following right colectomy (EAGLE): pragmatic, batched stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized trial in 64 countries

Background: Anastomotic leak affects 8 per cent of patients after right colectomy with a 10-fold increased risk of postoperative death. The EAGLE study aimed to develop and test whether an international, standardized quality improvement intervention could reduce anastomotic leaks. Methods: The internationally intended protocol, iteratively co-developed by a multistage Delphi process, comprised an online educational module introducing risk stratification, an intraoperative checklist, and harmonized surgical techniques. Clusters (hospital teams) were randomized to one of three arms with varied sequences of intervention/data collection by a derived stepped-wedge batch design (at least 18 hospital teams per batch). Patients were blinded to the study allocation. Low- and middle-income country enrolment was encouraged. The primary outcome (assessed by intention to treat) was anastomotic leak rate, and subgroup analyses by module completion (at least 80 per cent of surgeons, high engagement; less than 50 per cent, low engagement) were preplanned. Results: A total 355 hospital teams registered, with 332 from 64 countries (39.2 per cent low and middle income) included in the final analysis. The online modules were completed by half of the surgeons (2143 of 4411). The primary analysis included 3039 of the 3268 patients recruited (206 patients had no anastomosis and 23 were lost to follow-up), with anastomotic leaks arising before and after the intervention in 10.1 and 9.6 per cent respectively (adjusted OR 0.87, 95 per cent c.i. 0.59 to 1.30; P = 0.498). The proportion of surgeons completing the educational modules was an influence: the leak rate decreased from 12.2 per cent (61 of 500) before intervention to 5.1 per cent (24 of 473) after intervention in high-engagement centres (adjusted OR 0.36, 0.20 to 0.64; P < 0.001), but this was not observed in low-engagement hospitals (8.3 per cent (59 of 714) and 13.8 per cent (61 of 443) respectively; adjusted OR 2.09, 1.31 to 3.31). Conclusion: Completion of globally available digital training by engaged teams can alter anastomotic leak rates. Registration number: NCT04270721 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov)

The impact of surgical delay on resectability of colorectal cancer: An international prospective cohort study

AimThe SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has provided a unique opportunity to explore the impact of surgical delays on cancer resectability. This study aimed to compare resectability for colorectal cancer patients undergoing delayed versus non-delayed surgery.MethodsThis was an international prospective cohort study of consecutive colorectal cancer patients with a decision for curative surgery (January-April 2020). Surgical delay was defined as an operation taking place more than 4 weeks after treatment decision, in a patient who did not receive neoadjuvant therapy. A subgroup analysis explored the effects of delay in elective patients only. The impact of longer delays was explored in a sensitivity analysis. The primary outcome was complete resection, defined as curative resection with an R0 margin.ResultsOverall, 5453 patients from 304 hospitals in 47 countries were included, of whom 6.6% (358/5453) did not receive their planned operation. Of the 4304 operated patients without neoadjuvant therapy, 40.5% (1744/4304) were delayed beyond 4 weeks. Delayed patients were more likely to be older, men, more comorbid, have higher body mass index and have rectal cancer and early stage disease. Delayed patients had higher unadjusted rates of complete resection (93.7% vs. 91.9%, P = 0.032) and lower rates of emergency surgery (4.5% vs. 22.5%, P ConclusionOne in 15 colorectal cancer patients did not receive their planned operation during the first wave of COVID-19. Surgical delay did not appear to compromise resectability, raising the hypothesis that any reduction in long-term survival attributable to delays is likely to be due to micro-metastatic disease
