Collaborators of the EquityCancer-LA project participate in the closing session of the CSC Proposals for tackling care integration in times of COVID-1
The closing session of the 2021 Technical Sessions of the Catalan Health and Social Care Consortium (CSC) will be held on 25 November and will focus on the EquityCancer-LA project that was launched this year, which provides evidence on strategies to improve and collaborate between levels of care in the current context.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on quality of care in general and specifically on coordination between levels of care is, so far, uncertain. On the other hand, the diversion of resources and other measures adopted may have negatively influenced and increased structural and organisational factors that already hindered coordination between levels before the pandemic.
The next Technical Session organised by the Health and Social Consortium of Catalonia will address Proposals for addressing care integration in times of COVID-19 and will present the new research project, initiated this year, which provides evidence on strategies to improve coordination and collaboration between levels of care in the current context. Ingrid Vargas and María Luisa Vázquez, researchers from the Health and Social Consortium of Catalonia will participate in the session presenting the state of knowledge and theoretical frameworks of the analysis and summarising the EquityCancer-LA project. The session will be closed by Pamela Eguiguren, professor at the School of Public Health of the University of Chile, who will present the adaptation to COVID-19 of virtual clinical sessions developed in a participatory manner.
The EquityCancer-LA project, funded by the Horizon 202 programme of the European Union, and developed with the collaboration of six countries, will evaluate, with a participatory approach, the effectiveness of the implementation of integrated care interventions in improving the early diagnosis of cancer in public health service networks in Chile, Colombia and Ecuador.
