Evaluation of the quality of the care pathway for patients with multiple sclerosis in France

Résumé

INTRODUCTION: Evaluating the quality of the care pathway for patients with chronic diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), is an important issue. Process indicators are a recognized method for evaluating professional practices. However, these tools have been little developed in the field of MS, and few data are available. The aim of this study was to describe, retrospectively, with validated indicators, the quality of the care pathway in a population-based cohort of 700 patients with the first manifestations of the disease occurring between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2001 and during the first 10 years of disease.METHOD: This assessment was based on 48 indicators specific to MS. The information required for the calculation of each indicator was collected from the source files of the 700 patients of the cohort.RESULTS: Data for the 10 years of follow-up were collected for 80% of the patients. In total, 36 indicators were calculated. These results reveal that there is room for improvement, particularly in terms of the initial assessment, access to ophthalmological evaluation, employment, obtaining an evaluation of the need for rehabilitation and access to such care.CONCLUSION: The results of this survey provide access to unprecedented new data in France, that professionals and patients can appropriate to improve the targeting of actions, to improve the quality of care further for patients with MS in France. We propose to continue this process by submitting, for discussion, a targeted list of updated indicators relating to changes in guidelines, and in issues concerning the quality of patient management.
