The AGING POPULATION ๐Ÿ‘ด๐Ÿผand the increase in CHRONIC DISEASES pose a well-known and significant CHALLENGE for the healthcare system ๐ŸŽฏ

Spinal cord epidural neurostimulation implant has been used as a treatment for refractory chronic pain๐ŸŒฉ๏ธ

Patients with a neurostimulator are EVALUATED and REGISTERED periodically, measuring program ADHERENCE, the number of patients who receive a definitive implant,…, among other factors ๐Ÿ“€

๐Ÿ“… From January 2021 to April 2022, 50 patients have been included in the program, and the results show not only high program adherence but a positive PATIENT EXPERIENCE EVALUATION ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

๐Ÿ”บAreas for improvement have been identified, such as the lack of interconnectivity with intrahospital information systems.
