Identification of Five Quality Needs for Rheumatology (Text Analysis and Literature Review)

Abstract

Background: While the use of the term “quality” in industry relates to the basic idea of making processes measurable and standardizing processes, medicine focuses on achieving health goals that go far beyond the mere implementation of diagnostic and therapeutic processes. However, the quality management systems used are often simple, self-created concepts that concentrate on administrative processes without considering the quality of the results, which is essential for the patient. For several rheumatic diseases, both outcome and treatment goals have been defined. This work summarizes current mainstreams of strategies with published quality efforts in rheumatology.Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were used to search for studies, and additional manual searches were carried out. Screening and content evaluation were carried out using the PRISMA-P 2015 checklist. After duplicate search in the Endnote reference management software (version X9.1), the software Rayyan QCRI (https://rayyan.qcri.org) was applied to check for pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Abstracts and full texts were screened and rated using Voyant Tools (https://voyant-tools.org/). Key issues were identified using the collocate analysis.Results: The number of selected publications was small but specific (14 relevant correlations with coefficients >0.8). Using trend analysis, 15 publications with relative frequency of keywords >0.0125 were used for content analysis, revealing 5 quality needs. The treat to target (T2T) initiative was identified as fundamental paradigm. Outcome parameters required for T2T also allow quality assessments in routine clinical work. Quality care by multidisciplinary teams also focusing on polypharmacy and other quality aspects become essential, A global software platform to assess quality aspects is missing. Such an approach requires reporting of multiple outcome parameters according to evidence-based clinical guidelines and recommendations for the different rheumatic diseases. All health aspects defined by the WHO (physical, mental, and social health) have to be integrated into the management of rheumatic patients.Conclusion: For the future, quality projects need goals defined by T2T based initiatives in routine clinical work, secondary quality goals include multidisciplinary cooperation and reduction of polypharmacy. Quality indicators and standards in different health systems will provide new information to optimize patients' care in different health systems.

“…Voyant Tools enables users to analyze and visualize large amounts of text data quickly and easily. It features word frequency analysis, topic modeling, and text mining that enable researchers in the humanities and social sciences to gain insights into language patterns, authorship, and textual trends [29,30]. In the context of Lumos Text Complexity Analyzer (www.lumoslearning.com, accessed on 17 December 2022), it helps teachers and curriculum designers select texts appropriate for students at different reading levels.…”

“…We would need to design our care of patients more tailored to the patients’ needs, taking the socioeconomic background and multimorbidity into account. 17 – 19 To many health care professionals, this call for tailored treatment is no longer novel and there is lack of supporting infrastructure that might facilitate an integrative patient-driven care process. The dilemma behind these unmet needs is unfortunately further intensified by impeding structural changes awaiting patients and health care facilities.…”
