Brief Summary

The waiting lists for surgery and diagnostic tests registered in the health management area of Campo de Gibraltar West are very high, and this is compounded by the lack of resources that prevent them from being managed efficiently. The aim of the study is to know, quantify and communicate the measurement of the social impact, also known as social return on investment, which is presented as a tool for decision making on the intervention of the management of health concerts in comparison with the current system in Andalucia. In addition, other objectives will be studied, such as the health and non-health benefits derived from applying the intervention of the concerts compared to the current system of waiting list management from the economic, social and environmental points of view, the economic cost of the interventions by the health concerts and the Andalusian public health system, the cost of the increase in extraordinary health resources, determining the most prevalent surgeries from highest to lowest and specifying the highest number of surgeries that are established in the concerts and in the SSPA. The method used will be an economic evaluation of the different healthcare technologies in which the investigators compare the healthcare agreements of the most prevalent procedures and those that collect data in both groups through the SROI tool. A cross-sectional and prospective design will be carried out with a time horizon of 2021 and 2022, and for the statistical analysis the investigators will use the SSPS V25 and JASP programmes. The investigators consider it necessary to carry out this research study as there is no specific bibliography on the healthcare technology used in healthcare agreements as a new healthcare technology compared with the current system for managing surgical waiting lists in the Andalusian public healthcare system in terms of return on investment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Economic cost

  To ascertain the economic cost of interventions under the extraordinary healthcare agreement and of the ordinary activity of the Andalusian Public Health System (APHS) of the surgical waiting list and of diagnostic tests for certain surgical and functional procedures.

  4 months

• Increase in resources

  To know the increase in extraordinary resources to change waiting lists in terms of human and material resources.

  4 months

• Prevalence of surgical procedures

  Calculate by dividing the total number of individuals with a surgical procedure at the time of the study by the population at that point in time.

  4 months

• Quality-adjusted life years (QALYs)

  Determine QALYs by multiplying the utility value associated with a given health state by the years lived in that state.

  4 months

• Rate of return on investment (SROI)

  Determine the social return for each surgical procedure and functional test.

  4 months
